Foreign.—A fair amount of business was done this week in the
lower desciiptious of foreign wool, whilst the better sorts were
little noticed. No alteration has taken place in prices. We arc
altogether without arrivals this week, in consequence of the winds
having proved unfavourable to vessels bound for this port. Scotch.

week, 285 bags; previously this year, 14,301; total, 14,580.

LIVERPOOL CORN- MARKET, DECkNIBER 29.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.)
A continuance of easterly winds has admitted but very partial
arrivals form any quarter, and the imports of Grain. Flour and
Oatmeal have been to a very trivial extent since Tuesday last ; but
in the expectation of considerable supplies on a favourable change
of wind, the millers and dealers have been very sparing buyers for
their immediate wants, and sales have been made to a very limited
extent here and in our country markets of Wheat, and of all other
Grain. at about the prices, of this day week. The scarcity of
superfine sweet Flour, and of Oatmeal, has enabled the holders to
obtain an advance of is per sack and per barrel on the former, and
of 6d per 240 lb on the latter article.
The weather has continued severely frosty, so as to impede in.
terior navigation, though not hitherto between this and Manches-
ter, and we have had no snow for fifty miles around us. This day
is milder, and a thaw has apparently commenced.
The duty on Oats, Rye, Beans and Peas from foreign ports is
increased since Friday last is 6d each per quarter; on Wheat and
Barley no alteration. Some few sales have been effected of Flour
in bond for export and also on speculation at last quotations. The
value of Grain in bond continues nominally as free, deducting the
duty.
The supply of this day's market was increased by the arrival of
several cargoes of Foreign Wheat from London yesterday; cf
which, and of most other articles in the trade, sales were made to
a very moderate extent ; also, of Flour and Oatmeal at prices
nearly the same as this day week.
