LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 9.

The arrivals into this port up to and since Friday last,
furnish a moderate supply of Wheat, Oats and Flour,
with a few parcels of Barley and a further large accession
of Oatmeal from Ireland ; those in Coastwise, during the
same time, forming little more than 1532 qrs, of Wheat,
and from Canada 1680 qrs. of Wheat, 442 qrs. Pease, and
3211 barrels of Flour, us specified underneath.
Upon a good attendance of local and country millers at
this day's market, the Wheat trade was firm, all sorts of
English and Irisk new commanding a slight advance upon
the improved rates of Friday, thereby increasing our quo-
tations for these descriptions 2d. per 701bs. ; the general
runs of foreign free Wheat were also ld per bushel dearer ;
the amendment, however, was not readily complied with,
nor were the transactions beyond a moderate amount.
Flour continuing to meet a good demand, English,
Irish, and Canadian realised fully the advance noted in
our report of Friday.
Barley and Malt, attended with a moderate sale, re-
mained steady in value. Beans and Pease were in limited
request, but not cheaper.
Oats and Oatmeal attracting much less notice to-day
than usual, both were taken off very sparingly, and
scarcely maintained our last currency.
The frost and snow with which the new year com-
menced, were succeeded on this side the country by fre-
quent showers and a return to a milder temperature; this
morning, however, the weather has become seasonably
cold, and more favourable to the Wheat plant, which,
in many early sown fields is already too luxuriant.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 12.
The duties on all kinds of Foreign and Colonial Grain and
Flour con thine without change.
Into this port and Runcorn we have a tolerable supply of
Oatmeal fresh in since the beginning of the week, but of all
Grain and of Flour the arrivals Coastwise and from Ireland are
exceedingly small; nor have we anything to notice from abroad,
beyond 6 2 barrels United States Flour.
Although during the intervening period since Tuesday' no
'
transactions of an extensive character have occurred here, the
Corn trade in all its bearings remained steady, and with regard
to Wheat and Flour especially, presented a rather buoyant
aspect.
Having but few buyers from the country at our Corn Ex-
change to-day, and our local millers being very inactive, the
sales of any description of Wheatthis morning were extremely
limited in amount; holders-notwithstanding, continued equally
firm as heretofore, and a little Irish of very choice quality
rather exceeded the rates of Tuesday; in the ordinary runs of
Irish, however, or in the value of English and free Foreign, no
alteration was perceptible.—Flour generally, though not in so
lively demand as at an earlier period of the week, fully supported
our last quotations. and favourite marks of Irish, in several in-
stances, commanded higher prices.
Barley and Malt, upon a moderate demand, realised previous
rates ; Beans and Pease, on the contrary. were in slow request
and hardly maintained our last currency.
A few small parcels of Scotch and Irish Oats, upon a limited
supply of such, were disposed of at an improvement of Id per
451 b. but in other sorts of this grain there was no amendment.
In Oatmeal, transactions to a fair amount took place for invest.
ment at 20s 9d to 215 per load, but to consumers the sales were
unimportant.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JAN. 11.
At this day's market, there was only a moderate supply of
Wheat, and much higher prices were asked ; but no progress
could be made at more than is per quarter over the prices of
thic day se'n night. Malting Barley sold at the above-noted ad-
vance : grinding held for more money, but without finding
buyers. Very little doing in Oats, and we make no alteration
in our quotations. Beans and Peas nominally without varia-
tion

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 12.
Our arrivals of Wheat are moderate this week, which, com-
bined with the diminished suppiy in most of the agricultural
districts, has caused great firmness in this article: but millers
only buy slowly, at an advance of is per quarter. Barley is
extremelylscarce, and al qualities bring more money. Oats
and Shellings are each quite as well sold. Beens steady in

Downs not exceed 4s 6d per Slbs. Although the supply of
Calves was scanty, the Veal trade rule,l dull, and the rates were

Porkers command a steady s le at full prices but in other
kinds of Pigs, exceedingly little was doing.. About Jos Pigs
came to hand from Ireland. Although some imports of foreign
Cattle were expected abodt this time, nothing whatever has
been imp rted since our last. Hence we have none on sale to-
day. Beasts, 2600 ; Sheep, '4,340; Calves, 83 ; Pig, 367.

selling markets, whilst in the agricultural districts of this
country and in Ireland, supplies are reported as being scanty,
and prices exhibit a decided tendency to improvement, parti-
cularly as regards Wheat.
Here, we have bad a fair enqury for Wheat and Flour, and
the advance was only partially realised last week, has been
fully confirmed. We are also beginning to draw our warehoused
stock of Flour.
In no other article has there been any variation. except Malt,
for which there has been a good demand at improving rates.
At the Liverpool and Wakefield markets of yesterday, much
confidence was exhi ited by holders of every article, particularly
Wheat: but at neither was any considerable business trans-
acted.
Arrivals of English and Irish produce are moderate, and from
Canada nothing is reported : the Autumn Shipments from that
Colony are now all in.
At our market this morning, business in Wheat is checked by
the advanced prices demanded by holders, but an improvement
of Id to 2d per bushel is realised on the transactions that take
place.
Flour Is per sack higher on superfine qualities, whilst goo
descriptions are more readily saleable.
Oats and Oatmeal steady in price an occasional speculative
purchase takes piece in the latter article, but the consumptive
demand is feeble.

Beans dull at late rates. Malt in good request, and fine
qualities bring an advance of is to 2s per load.
