LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 17.

On reference to our import note beneath, it will be ob-
served that the arrivals of Grain and Oatmeal into this
place continue to be small, and of Flour by no means
large; but although the wind is still adverse, we had a.
change of weather yesterday, and have a fine thaw this
morning; the late severe frost is therefore disappearing,
and, with a much milder temperature to-day, the millers
and dealers. in anticipation of more ample supplies, seem
disposed to remain rather inactive for the moment.
Our market, in consequence, has ben rather languid to
day for old Wheat of ail descriptions, and new has met
only a moderate demand, at the rates of this day se'nnight
Flour has been t :ken off rather less freely than at the
rlcse of the week, but without any change in prices from
Friday.
Barley and Malt has been extremely dull at our last
quo. ations ; and Beans and Pease are if anything the turn
lower.

Oats continuing extremely scarce, and no supplies fresh
at hand, have in a few intances, by retail, realized an ad-
vance of Id. rer 451bs.

OlitOatmeval having improved 6d. per 11., is quoted 255,
o-day, with a moderate demand. In New no variation,

Although during the last few dayake frost has been gradually
disappearing, it returned again last night. but wit lunch less
vigour than before: meanwhile the wind, still continuing in the

presen imports are so extremely small in cons quence as to be
scarcely worth naming: the country markets however being
well supplied by the k rowers, and our home tiu)ers, anticipating
the next arrivals. and working close upon tie limited stocks
held by them. Or-, trade between Tuesday and to-day has been
unusually quiet, but with little variation from the general cur-
rency of our last Circular.
Under the circumstances above stated, the few millers who
attended our Corn-exchange to day cont nued to exhibit the
same indifference as of late, and we have to reiterate a dull sale
for Whet of all descriptions ; from the present invited arrivals,
.however, holders evinced no des re to press business on lower
terms, and our last qd,rations, therefoze, stand nominally an-
al ezed. Flour, notwastandieg, commanded a moderate de-
gree of attention, and gee era ly maintained the rates previously
noted.
Bat ley. for either malting or grinding. appeared to excite very
little notice, and this Grain, as well as Malt, Beans, and Pease,
hardly supported former prices
Oats met some inquiry, and being still very scarce, were the
turn dearer. Old Oatmeal of pi lme quality claiming a preference
over new, was in fair demand, on rather higher terms, the latter
merely sustaining its late value.
