LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. DEC. 10.

• ---
Opposed by easterly winds, accompanied by intense
frost for several days past, very few vessels have arrived
here since this day week ; the supplies of any kind of
Grain fresh in for to-day are consequently light from any
quarter, whilst of Flour and Oatmeal we have to note a
moderate quantity, chiefly by steam from Ireland.
From the reasons expressed in our Friday's report, very
few country millers attended our Corn Exchrnge to-day.
We had, nowithstrnding, a moderate demand from our
local buyers, for English, Irish, and Foreign Wheats,
which fully maintained the rates of this day se'nnight.
Sack Flour was rather more saleable, eta small amend-
ment in value; and about 2 to 3000 brls of sweet States
have been taken for export at our quotations.
Malting Barley was in slow request, at a decline of Is.
per qr., but in grinding samples we have no change to
note.

Beans and Pease remained steady in value, at our last
currency.

New Irish Oats, of which we had scarcely any left
upon the market, were id. per 45Ibs. dearer; and Oat-
meal realized an advance of 6d. per 240 lbs., but was not
readily saleable at that amendment.

CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER 13

The duty on Foreign Rye has fuither advanced this week, the
rate being now Lis 6d per qr.: on i.ll other produce te-renzatratt
unvaried.

The continuance of contrary wind, must still account for the
limited supplies of Grein v e receive from week to week : we
have, however, a m-derate quantityof Flour and Oatmeal from
Ireland, as well as 573 barrels of the former and 1)30 qrs. Pease
from Canada.

The trade generally has been very steady since Tuesday, with
a moderate, although by no means active, business in any ar-
ticle, at the full rates of that day.

We had a fair attendance of the town trade, but very few
buyet sat our market this morning. The limited choice of new
Irish Wheats enabled holder, to obtain very full prices, and
some parcels were held at a trifling improvement, but neither in
this description nor in any kind of Foreign, which maintained
our 'ate currency, was business practicable beyond a very li-
mited amount. Flour was in moderate request without change
lo value.

Barley and Malt have been little inquired for during the week,
and secondary qualities of the former for malting, are rather
cheaper. Beans and Pease as previously quoted, with a slow
sale.

New Oats and Oatmeal are held for. and in some instances
realise, rather more money, but the transactions are much in
retail, and little or no country demand. Old Oats have become
very scarce, and command high rates.
No sales in bond are reported.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 10.
A fair steady demand to-day, and about 3000 bales sold,
at full prices, with a high market.

C OrTON M A RKET.-WE EMI( REPORT,

c increased demand noticed in our last Fliday's report has
been sustained during the pre-ent week, though not so brisk
the last day or two as at the opeding. The market as a whole
is decidedly steaditr, and in the middle classes of American
about ith advance has been obtained; but fair quali ies and
upwards and very ordinary lots remain as last quoted. Surats
have been of more steady sale at previous rates, and better
prices are obtainable for Sea Islands. In Brazil and Egyptian
there is not any change worth notice. Speculators have taken
Soil bales of American and 2,000 Surat. 100 fine Egyptian were
offered at auction to-day, but f.w bw.ers attended ; they were
bought in at gd, the highest price bid : 200 bales common were
also offered, of which only 54 hales sold at Sid. The market
cl: ses quietly to-day, and the sales are about 5,000 bales.
The impost this week is 8,245 bags, and the sales reach 39,12
bags, viz.:—
