LIVERPOOL CORN EXCiIANGE, JAN. 26.

The arrivals into this port, since the 16th instant, con-
tain a tolerable quantity of Wheat and Oats, and a fair
supply of Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland ; also several
cargoes of Foreign free Wheat, received chiefly from
Newcastle, with some parcels of Barley and other Grain
Coastwise; whilst from abroad we have little more to re-
port than 850 qrs. of Egyptian Beans, and 2,184 barrels
of States and Canadian Flour.

The accounts received from Mark-lane this morning,
conduced rather to prevent than to inspire animation in
the general proceedings observable at our Corn Exchange
to-day: hence we have to note a much more limited sale
for Wheat of all descriptions than of late, and, though
very few holders appeared disposed to press business, the
current rates of last week were barely sustained.

The demand for English, Irish, and Foreign Flour,
duty paid, was equally languid, but without producing
any perceptible change in prices.
Barley and Malt, of which few sales were effected, re-
verted to the rates of this day se'nnight ; and Beans, as
well as Pease, scarcely maintained our last quotations.
Oats, although in limited request, supported Friday's
amendment ; and Oatmeal, of which several further par-
cels were taken on speculation, but very little for con-
sumption, was fully as dear as at the close of the week,
and in some instances very prime qualities realized 225. per
2401 b.

duty can be looked for, for some time.
We are moderately supplied with Wheat, Flour and Oatmeal
from Ireland, whilst the arrivals of other produce thence, as
as well as the total quantity coastwise, are quite unimportant
during the past three days; and, excepting 119 barrels United
States Flour, there is nothing fresh in from abroad.
The trade has been steady, but by no means active, amongst
our own millers since Tuesday ; several lots of foreign Wheat,
have, however, been taken for Ireland, for which as well as for
new Wheats, the latter being in comparatively bare supply, full
prices have been maintained.
There was a more limited attendance of buyers, than usual,
at this day's market, and the aggregate business was upon a
corresponding scale of insignificance; sales of Wheat, in par-
ticular, were with difficulty effected, even in retail, notwith-
standing which, holders remain firm, and we note Tuesday's
currency as steadily supported for all descriptions. Flour in
moderate demand, without alteration in the value of either
Irish or foreign.
In Barley, Beans and Pease little was doing and prices un-
changed. Prime Malt rather exceeds our last quotations.
With a very trifling quantity of Oats on offer, this grain is
firmly held for, and obtains, the rates of Tuesday ; and though
there is scarcely any consumptive inquiry for i atmeal, the latter
is still in request for investment, choice parcels, suitable for
holding over, commanding 22s per 2401 b.
In the bonded market, good States Flour has brought 235,
and the best brands are worth 236 6d per barrel A few further
parcels of Wheat floating, as well as for shipment, have changed
hands in the course of the week, and one or two during market
hours to-day.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 27.
During the past week the value of Wheat and Flour has re-
mained without alteration ; that of Oats, Oatmeal and Beans
has rather tended upwards, but the business done in each has
been of a limited character.

There is a lair arrival of Wheat and Flour from Ireland,
whilst the supply of Meal falls off.
From Canada there are 1632 barrels of Flour, and from other
quarters the imports are small.
The proceedings at this day's market afford little subject for
remark. But little is doing in Wheat or Flour, and the prices
of both remain as last quoted.
Fine Oats, and the best qualities of Oatmeal, are held at an
advance of Id per bushel, and 3d per load : but it is complied
with to a very trifling extent.
Beans are is per quarter higher, with a fair inquiry. Malt is
held firmly for late prices, and for fine qualities there is a steady
demand.
