_LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. DEC.-28

Although still opposed by contrary winds, a few more vessels
have worked into port since Friday, containing with those pre-
viously at hand, a moderate supply of Oats, and a limited quan-
tity of Wheat, Oatmeal, and Flour from Ireland, whilst the ar-
rivals coastwise are small ; and those of foreign produce, merely
a few lots of Indian Corn, Corn Meal, and Flour from the
United States, and of Beans chiefly from Egypt.
At this day's market there has been a good attendance of
buyers, and a moderate amount of business transacted in most
articles of the trade, especially for fine Wheats, which are
still very scarce, and all qualities 2d. dearer than on this day
week.

Flour in fair demand, good Western Brands maintaining 305.,
and prime new 31s. per barrel. Irish Flour also Is. per sack
dearer than on this day week.
Malting Barley and Malt, none in the market.
Beans and Pease, no variation.
Oats id. to Id. dearer, but not taken freely at that amend-
ment, and Oatmeal must be noted at 6d. per load higher.
Indian Corn is. per 480 lb., and Indian Meal 6d. per barrel
higher.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 31

A limited quantity of Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, with
a scanty supply of grain coastwise, and of Wheat, Flour, and
Corn Meal from abroad, comprise the bulk of arrivals into this
port during the last three days. The advices from America to
hand this morning, lead to the expectation that,in consequence
of mild open weather, the continuance of supplies by internal
navigation will admit of larger immediate exports than had
been calculated upon, and which the enhanced value of money
there would tend to facilitate.

The trade here has ruled firm, but rather quiet since Tues-
day; the extent of deliveries fromthe growers in the country
markets preventing an advance in prices.
As usual at the close of the year, very few buyers appeared at
our Corn Exchange to-day, and in any department of the trade
little business was practicable; holders of Wheat, notwith-
standing, adhered steadily to the current rates of Tuesday,
which in the limited sales effected, were fully maintained;
while to all descriptions of Flour similar remarks are precisely
applicable.
The few small lots of Malting Barley and Malt specified be-
low, are reported to have been sold at our last quotations, and
both being wanted by consumers, equal prices are anticipated
for the next arrivals.—ln Beans, the only transaction noticed
to-day, is a cargo from Egypt, at 30s. per 4801 b.---In Pease no
change was apparent.--Oats, although in moderate request,
were slightly depressed in value ; and Oatmeal scarcely sup-
ported late prices.
Indian Corn and Corn Meal, exciting little attention, were
both rather easier to purchase.
