LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 8

Belayed at sea by adverse winds. few vessels have entered
this port since Tuesday last. and e cept a moderate quantity of
Flout from Ireland, the arrivals thence and Coastwise are light,
whilst those from abroad are limited chiefly to Beans, Pease,
and Indian Corn, as specified below.
Notwithstanding the large arrivals into London. and the
check given to prices there yeste, day. our market this morning
was well attended by town and country buyers, who with seve-
ral Irish millers, imparted a lively aspect to the trade for all de•
scriptintis of Wheat, of which the sales were extensive, fine qua.
lities comma--ding 3d, and the middle and lower runs of Foreign
4d. to 6,1. per olb. advance upon the rates of this day week ;
farmers Wheat also, of which a fair show of samples appeared
to-day, was 2d. to 3d. per bushel dearer.—lrish Fleur was held
on higher terms, but upon a dull sale, no improvement could he
obtained; States and Canadian f; ee, however, realised Is per
hart el over late prices ; and of Western Flour to arrive, several
thousand barrels were sold at :13s

Malting Barley was in request at our last quotations; and
grinding s-mples, being more saleable, were rather dearer.—
Malt likewise improved is. per quarter.— Beans and Pease,
upon a moderate inquiry, fully supported lute prices.—Good
Meating Oats were in fair demand. and stew ily maintained the
advance of Priday ; Oatmeal, however. was very little noticed,
and scarcely retained its previous value.
Indian Corn continuing in request for Ireland, several parcels
have been taken at 6's. to 655. per 4801 b. ; but at these high
prices buyers are evidently more forbearing, and a fair portion
of the present arrivals therefore remain unsold

CORN EXCHANGE, Dm. It

During the early part of the week the frost seemed to he gra-
dually disappearing, and nearly the whole of yesterday we had
extremely heavy rain ; but freezing again last night with re-
doubled severity. and the wind being still contrary, the supplies
reported since Monday are altogether light ; one very large
American gain vessel, however, has worked inwards, but is not
entered in time for insertion to-day.
Atthorgh, in general, we had less activity in the Corn trade
during the interval since Tuesday than of late; the sales of In-
dian Corn and the low qualities of Foreign Wheat progressed to
a fair amount, the former at our last quotations, and the latter
at rather improving rates, all other articles remaining unvaried.
Our market to-day opened with a lively demand for Wheat,
the sales to English millers were extens've, in the first instance
at the current rates of Tuesday. and some parcels have been
taken by speculative buyers, the trade for most descriptions of
this grain subsequently improved, and closed firmly at an ad-
vance of Id to 2d. per 7slb., although for Irish this morning
but few transactions occurred.—lrish Flour, though in very
?slow request, was held 223, per speck above our last quotations.
whilst of American several large sales were effected, goo', West-
ern brands commanding 345. in bond, and :565. free, being an
amendment of Is. per barrel.

Malting Barley and Malt, neither being plentiful. fully main
tamed late rices, and Grinding Barley was 2d. to 3d per bushe
dearer.

Beans and Pease continued to rule precisely the same as
stated in our last report.—Oats, upon fair inquiry, advanced
Id. to 2d. per 451 b., and 'Oatmeal, though still meeting little at-
tention, was held on somewhat higher terms.
Several thousand qbarters American Indian Corn on board
the vessel above alluded-to, is reported to have been sdlcrat 645.
per 48o1b. ; and small parcels remaining on the spot command
higher rates.

Of floating cargoes, near at hand, few are now offering,
