LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 16.
The hard frost and heavy falls of snow last week, have been
followed by a rapid thaw, and with a change of wind, blowing
from the west, a numerous fleet of vessels has entered this port;
those grain laden bearing a tolerable proportion, the arrivals
since this day se'nnight include a juoderate supply coastwise,
but very little of any thing from Ireland, whilst the shipments
hence to that country continue upon a large scale daily. Of
foreign produce the imports are to a fair amount, especially of
Indian Corn and Flour, which, from the states, are considera-
ble.
Influenced by the rise,in the leading provincial markets last
week, and the advance again in London yesterday, a numerous
attendance of country millers, and several from Ireland, ap-
peared this morning, which, at the Commencement of business,
seemed to give a further impulse to the Wheat trade, and sales
•to alair extent were effected at- an amendment upon Friday's-
rates, increasing our quotations fully 6d. per7Olb. over the cur-
rency.eif this day se'nnight. The importers of Flour continuing
to require higher terms than buyers could be induced to pay,
the transactions were limited; and though in the course of the
morning a few parcels of Western brands were disposed of at
41s. Gd.,-the trade closed rather languidly at 415., being 2s. per
barrel, and Irish Is. per sack-only above the rates of this day
week.
Malting Barley and Malt, the former being scarce, and both
in request, were held steadily at our increased' quotations.—
Beans and Pease, upon a limited demand, remained unaltered
in value'—Oats and Oatmeal, continuing to attract very little

CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 10.
We have had a good supply of most kinds of Grain coastwise
since ;Monday last, but very little fresh in from Ireland. With
Strong westerly winds,- however, the imports of Indiane Corn
nce,
(pleand Flour front America continue on a liberal scale, which, in
addition to some European arrivals, form altogether a supply
sufficient for the present, and tend to check the active dis-
position previously apparent : the trade has, in co
exhibited sonic degree of languor for most articles on the spot,
whilst for floating .cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn, there
has been during the interval since Tuesday, r. gOod inquiry,
and large transactions have taken place, sonic of them for
diStant period's of shipment.
Although upon a limited number :only of the country' trade
this morning, and our local millers slow in their proceedings,
softie farther sales of Wheat were effected for Irish account
at a decline of 3d. per 7olb in the value of all descriptions.
American Flour; superseding in a great degree the use of
English and Irish, the latter must he noted Is. per sack, and
the former 2s. per barrel cheaper; at which, with the exception.
of 17,0.10 barrels of -New Oriettas, taken yesterday for invest-
ment, the transactions since Tuesday have been entered into
less freely than before.
tilting Barley and Nialt, with a limited supply of each,
steadily maintained late prices,nuct Grinding Barley remained
unearied. Beans, upon a. limited- demand, barely sustained
our last quotaticals; and Pease receded 2e. per quarter. Oats,
.continuing to meet little notice, . were , rather depressed in
Oatmeal, on the contrary, commanding more attention,
was the turn dearer.
Ni.itwitbstanding the large arrival this week, yellow Indian
Corn nearly supports its previous value, and the-general quali-
ties of white are Is. per quarter lower to,dav, a considerable
portion of the import has been already sold for Irish con.
