LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. DEC. 24.

Though the wind remains contrary, a moderate quantity of
Wheat. Oatmeal and Flour has worked up, with which excep-
tions the general imports have been very little augmented since
the cla .e of last week.

We had but a limited attendance of local buyers at this day's
market, and fewer still from the country on account of the par-
tial closure of the canals by frost; a moderate sale was expe-
rienced for old Foreign Wheats, but from the continued absence
of fresh parcels of new Irish. scarcely anything was done in
tLat des ription, and we note prices generally without change
from this day week. Flour, particularly prime working
parcels, was held steadily for previous rates, with, how-
ever, a less free sale to.day.
Malt, Beans and Pease the turn cheaper.
From the trifling quantity of Oats at hand, the trade is 'mite in
retail, t the full currency of this day se'nnight; but Oatmeal
found a better sale to tbb country, at an improvement of 3d. per
1 ad on both old and new.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEcEmBEn 27.

The impost on Foreign Barley is advanced this week to 4s.
per quarter, which is the only alteration in the du.ies since our
last report.
Our fresh arrivals continue, upon the wh le, unimportant,
nor can we expect any general supply cf moment until a change
of wind from the westward • a few parcels of Wheat, with about
20.) sacks Flour from lielad, forms the chiel import of the past
three days.
. . . _

As usual In Christmas week, the trade has been of a very no-
minal character in the intermediate period between market
days, and we have consequently few transactions, and those
only in retail. to remark upon in any article.
Our Corn Exchange this morning was again thinly attended
by actual buyers, and scarcely any business was apparent in
either English or Foreign Wheats. for which we repeat our last
qu,t,Aions; new Irish also met a very dragging sale, and in
anticipation of increasing su,.ply with difficulty sustained their
late value.—Of Flour, choice marks only are saleable t'r a mo-
derate extent, but anything second-rate is at present exceed-
ingly difficult of disposal.
Beans and Peas support p-ices.—Barley and Malt nominally
unaltered from the rates last stated.

Though so few Oats have lately arrived that the market is al-
most bare of the article, prices have receded id. to Id. per 451 b.
upon t'le limited demand experienced to day ; and Oatmeal, for
which there was a trifling country in ;uiry, was hardly so well
sold as before.

Taken a:togctner, we have had a very flatuniuteresting trade
