HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 28

At this season of the• year the general trade of the country is
usually dull, and but little passing—this particularly applies to the
present state of the Corn trade, for since our report of last Tuesday,
there has been scarcely a business transaction, and prices of all
grain may be considered without alteration. There is no home de-
mand for Rapeseed at this moment; but a few sales have been
made for export, at the above quotations, less the duty In Linseed
but little doing, and prices unaltered. Linseed cake in limited,
demand at late prices. Nothing doing in Rape cake. To-day may
be quite called a holiday market, from the little business passing.
Old loreigp Wheat is not altered in valve, and when sales can be
made late prices are folly paid. The show of farmers' Wheat is
moderate, the best samples bring fully last week's prices : second
qualities, arid those wanting condition, With difficulty find buyers.
Oats and Beans are bOth dull, and but little passing in either. No
sales Of Barley, unless' of the best malting quality, and even this
description with' difficulty holds last week's prices. During the past
Week we have had almost every variety of weather.; the early part
of which we hacrsharp frost, the latter part mild wcatlier ; today
there p'again indication of frost.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND 'POTATOE MARKET,

DECEMBER 30,

There is no change worthy of remark in the Potatee trade since
the 28th instant.

The country dealers as usual during Christmas week, continue
to buy very sparingly, which cause a greater bulk to be thrown at
the present on the retail market, but the den and for town con-
sumption continues steady, yet from the ahove.cause, the busines
doing is more circumscribed, although we cannot note any mate-
rial reduction in price since our last quotations :—yiz.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 28.
The 'arrivals,. Caastwise and from Ireland, since this day,
week contain a fah' accession of Wheat. Barley, and Flour,
with a moderate quantity of Oats, and a large increase of
Oatmeal. From Canada, the United States, and Continent
of Europe, collectively, the import of Wheat, Pease, and
Flour is considerable, which, with several parcels of foreign
Barley and Beans, furnish altogether an abundant supply.
To meet these accumulations, and a liberal, display of sam-
ples from granary, our market this morning was well attended,
and, at a decline of 2s per 701bs from the rates of this day
week, the general runs- of foreign Wheat were taken of by
town and country millers' more freely than of late, and
with several purchases for Ireland, a fair extent of
buSiness was transacted in these descriptions 1 but not much
in English and very little inAriih, the inferior qualities of
the latter being nearly unsaleable: In foreign Wheat under
bond to arrive, no further sales have transpired.
English, Irish, and duty paid foreign Flour remained in
the same state as described in Friday's report.
Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease continued to be scarcely
noticed, anal each' may be Considered is per qr cheaper.
Oats, upon a very dull sale, were rather depressed in va-
lue, and Oatmeal, being rood; neglected, was offered with
very little effect, at an abatement of 6d per 2401b5.
