During the present week, the Wheat trade has been rather
depressed, but holders were indisposed to give way 'n price.
Malting Barley, except of the finest quality, must be considered
is per qtiarter lower. No change in the value of grinding.
Beans and Oats firm, at last week's prices.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCEIANGE, Nov. 5.
In consequence of very high gales from the east through-
out the greater part of last week, our present arrivals of
Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal are extremely unimportant, as
will appear on reference to the particulars subjoined. At
the same time the ad vices from Ireland also speak of very
boisterous weather, accompanied by heavy and continuous
rains : in the district around us, however, we have had no
excess of moisture, the season daring the month of October
having been exceedingly favourable for all the purposes of
husbandry : except therefore, in partial instances, Wheat
sowing is well nigh completed in the best order, and a
large portion of the plant, already above ground, assumes
a healthy appearance.

Notwithstanding the limited supplies at hand, the
Whect trade this morning was heavy, and the advance of
Friday was barely maintained.
All kinds of sack Flour were taken off sparingly at late
prices. Canadian and States continued to command the
improved rates of Friday.
Barley and Malt, though not in lively demand, were
each rather dearer; and Oats, though not taken freely,
supported the advanced rates of. Friday.

Beans and ludian Corti fully suWorted the previous
amendment.

Oatmeal, upon a moderate demand, fully supported the
advance of List week, Old being quoted 235. to 215., and
New 248. to 255., per 2401b5.
Upon the whole the business transacted to-day
was rather on a limited scale.

CORN EXCHANGE, NOVEMBER. 8.

There is no alteration in any of the duties, by the average
list received this morning. _

From the continuance of the cause lately mentioned, the pre-
valence of contrary winds, we are this week almost bare of
supplies, a very moderate quantity of Oatmeal and Flour by
steamers being the chief import from Ireland, and with the ex-
ception of 670 qrs. Barley,we have no Foreign arriva s whatever.
The trade has in a 1 respects ruled steady during the past two
days, but in the absence of an adequate fresh supply of any ar-
ticle, and the dealers, in consequence, evidently holding off,
limited transactions only have been practicable.
At our market this morning, which was tolerably well at-
tended by local milers. though few appeared from the county,
very full prices were realized for new Irish Wheats, but the li-
mited choice of samples influenced buyers in the determination
to wait a better supply, and in this description as well as others,
only a moderate business, on the whole was effected. Extra
qualities of Irish Flour command rather more money; middling
sorts are, however, still difficult of disposal : Cana :WI sweet
moves off steadily at late prices, and sour parcels are sa►eable at
a trifling improvement.

The market is bare of English Beans and malting Barley, both
of which wou'd readily bring our last currency. New Irish
Beans, as well as Egypti ins, make somewhat higher rates.
Grinding Barley dull of sale.

Oats and Oal meal in very short supply, curtailing business,
which might otherwise bare been done to a fair extent.
Sour states Flour in bond is inquired for, but our quotations
are not quite attainable, and no sales have been reported.
