FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 27

The;;ri;r:lsintWiliispOrtaince Tuesday last contain a good
supply of Wheat, Oatmeal, and Flour, with a moderate quantity
of Oats from Ireland, but little of anything coastwise ; from
abroad the import of Wheat during that period, is tolerably
large, exclusive of several parcels of Beans and Indian Corn,
and a very considerable influx of Flour from the American
States.
Pending the scheme intended to be laid before Parliament to-
day, the det ils of which will be known here to-morrow, our
buyers mostly still incline to remain rather cautious until this
important question be in some way better understood, and the
trade placed upon a more solid basis than it has been for some
time past; at our Corn Exchange this morning, however, a mo-
derate portion of Irish new Wheat was sold to needy millers,
the general runs on the reduced terms of Friday, and prime
qualities at nearly last Tuesday's rates ; whilst in old samples,
either British or Foreign, little or no business was transacted.
Irish Flour, although in slow request, was held steadily at full
prices; but Canadian being very unsaleable was slightly de-
pressed in value.
Barley, continuing nearly without inquiry, appeared nominal
in value. Malt of fine quality alone fully supported late prices.
Beans, Pease, and duty paid Indian Corn moved off very spa-
ringly, each in partial instances, at a slight abatement from
previous quotations.
Oats, upon a limited demand, were the turn cheaper; Oat-
meal, on the contrary, was in rather more request for consump.
tiou, and several parcels being taken for investment, the best
marks realised 6d. per load over the rates of last week.
The sales reported in bond since Friday comprise one lot of
American Wheat at 7s. 6d. per 701 b., a few thousand barrels of
sweet States Flour at 295., 1,000 of sour at '2ss. per barrel, and
a parcel of Indian Corn at Ms. per qr.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY
3O

The duties under the existing law have been advanced this
week to ss. 6d. per quarter on Pease.
The proposition made by Sir Robert Peel would cause a duty
at our present average of 4s. on Wheat, 2s. on Barley, R3e,
Beaus, and Pease, and on Oats Is. 6d. per quarter, and provides
merely nominal duties after the Ist February, Big. The duty
on Indian Corn and Buck Wheat, and on Meal or Flour manu-
factured from each, to cease entirely from the passing of the
proposed measure; the impost upon all Colonial Grain, Flour
and Meal, is also intended to be remitted. The above are the
leading features of the contemplated enactment, with the addi-
tion that a graduated scale of averages shall apply an advancing
duty to Wheat up to los. per quarter : as the six weeks aggi e-
gate average may recede below 485.: the same graduating rule
will apply a duty gradually advancing to Ss. per quarter, on
Barley, Rye, Beans, and Pease, when the respective averages
shall fall below 265.; and on Oats up to 45., when the averages
of that Grain shall go below Its. per quarter.
Exclusive of a moderate supply of Wheat and Oatmeal from
Ireland, the arrivals into this port thence and coastwise since
Monday last are trivial ; the imports from the United States,
during that time, comprising 2,544 quarters of Wheat, a few
parcels of Beans, Pease, and Indian Corn, with 16,73 g barrels
of Flour, and from Europe 1,660 quarters of Wheat.
Still uncertain as to the resu't which may arise from the
change proposed by the Premier, and opposing op'nions ex-
pressed on the subject, the Corn trade here continues to exhibit
the same degree of feebleness as heretof. re, and we have to
report at this day's market a total absence of activity in any of
its departments. Attended by a dull, lingering sale, English,
Irish, and duty paid Foreign Wheats, declined Id. to 2d. per
701bs. from our last quotations; and Irish Flour, except prime
marks, receded 6d. to Is. per sack, whilst Canadian was offered
with scarcely any effect, at an abatement of Is. per barrel.
Barley, being still very unsaleable, was nominally rather
cheaper; but Malt, being less plentiful, maintained late prices.
Beans upon a moderate demand were unalterable in value.
Pease and Indian Corn, meeting very little notice, were easier
to purchase and somewhat lower.
Oats, were upon a limited supply, declined id. to Id. per 451 b.
Oatmeal, however, met some inquiry, and realised our last cur-
rency.
In bonded Wheat no transactions have recently transpired;
and States Flour under lock was offered 6d. per barrel below
Tuesday's rates, without leading to any business of moment.

HULL CORN MARKET, JAN. 27

Owing to the continued uncertainty as to the proposed Minis-
terial measures, there has been little or no business passing in
any branch of the t-ade, during the past week. At to-day's
market, we had only a small farmer's supply ; and our millers
being rather free buyers, we write the market fully as dear as
last week. Foreign Wheat held firmly. In Spring Corn no-
thing doing.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JAN. 27.
During the present week the Wheat trade has railed dull, but
farmer and dealers were not disposed to accept lower rates.
Oats and Beans held for last week's prices. The announce-
ment of the Government measure caused no alteration in the
value of Wheat at Wolverhampton this day.

ROTH EH AM CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 28.
We had a most splendid show of both Beasts and Sheep to
this day's market. The attendance of buyers pretty numerous,
yet the market did not rule so brisk as last, but to the close
most disposed of at the same as last week. Beef 6s 6d to 7s
per stone ; Mutton 6id to 7d per lb. Cattle 280 ;Sheep 1500.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 31.
The disclosure of the ministerial plan has had no particu'ar
effect upon the trade in this district. Buyers, however, having
completely exhausted their stocks, have come forward with
more freedom, and a fair business has been d,•ne in the best
qualities of Flour during the week, at the rates of our last.
Oats and Oatmeal have been but little inquired for.

. •
At Wakefield, yesterday, some slight improvement was ob-
servable in the value of Wheat, whilst at Liverpool prices were
scarcely supported.
Ouilmarket this morning shows no degree of activity, though
it 'may be stated that, on the whole, the trade has assumed a
somewhat steadier aspect. The demand for Wheat and Flour
is confined to the best descriptions of both, i retail quantities,
at the rates of our last. Secondary samples are quite neglec'ed.
Oats barely maintain former rates. Oatmeal very slow of
sale, but without alteraton in value. Beans, Malt, and other
articles, without variation.
