LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 22.

Although the prices quoted in Ireland have for some
weeks past kept relatively, in most respects, nearly upon
a par with ours, the arrivals of Wheat, Oatmeal and
Flour thence, since Tuesday last, have continued to flow
into this port to a liberal extent; but of Oats and other
Grain the receipts fresh in are only moderate, and beyond
a fair supply of Barley and Malt, we have little to note
Coastwise; whilst those from abroad consist principally
of a few parcels of Wheat, and upwards of 10,000 barrels
of Canadian Flour.

At this day's market, a parcel or two of very fine Irish
new Wheat was disposed Of at 7s. 2d. per 70Ibs. ; and
English, continuing to come forward invariably from the
growers in fine dry condition, maintained late prices.
The general runs of Irish, however, as well as most
kinds of foreign, declined id. to 2d. per bushel; and the
transactions, being confined altogether to meet the wants
of needy buyers, were upon a very moderate scale.
Opposed in the neighbouring markets by supplies from
the interior, and the increasing stock of Irish and Cana-
dian Flour exceeding the consumption here; all descrip-
tions of this article have remained in an extremely dull
lingering state this morning, resulting in a decline of W.
to ls. per sack on the former, and the latter, though held
at our last quotations, was nearly without demand.
Barley and Malt, being in tolerable request, supported
the rates of this day se'nnight. Beans and Pease, with
little passing therein, remained stationary in value.

~ . ....
Oats, moving off sparingly, were rather cheaper ; and
Oatmeal, in consequence of the large stock on hand, con-
tinued in very limited demand, at an abatement of 6d per
2101bs.

CORN EXCHANGE, D.Rrx-unnte
No change whatever occurs In any of the Corn duties this
week.

We have a tolerably fair supply of flour from Ireland since
Tuesday, but there is a considerable diminution for the moment
in the receipts of all sorts of Grain as well as Oatmeal from
that country, and the arrivals Coastwise are also to a very
limited extent ; but of Canadian Flour a further large quantity
is reported, amounting to 10,583 barrels.

Business generally has continued in a very quiet uninteresting
state during the two past days. nothing, beyond a few retail
transactions, having taken place; holders, notwithstanding,
being indisposed to give way, little variation has been apparent
in the value of any article of the trade.

Independent of a' few thousand bushels of Mediterranean
Wheat, taken by one or two millers from the interior of the
country, and a very limited sale to our local buyers, the trade
for any description of this Grain at our Corn Exchange, to-
day, has remained in much the same neutral posi ion as we
have latterly had occasion to report. but withoat producing any
visible effect upon the currency of Tuesday last. Irish Flour,
though not in lively request, was rather more saleai le on the
terms last noted ; but in free States and Canadian, little or no
business was done ; and in any article, under bond or afloat,
nothing transpired to-day.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, have continued to move off
gradually at former prices.

Having several Yorkshire dealers herc this morning, directing
their attention chiefly to Oats, sales of this Grain were effected
to a moderate extent, and having few parcels fresh in. our last
quotations were fully maintained. For Oatmeal, there were
likewise some inquiries and buyers at a decline of 6d per load,
but the sellers tenaciously requiring the reduced rates of Tues-
day, the transactions were inconsiderable.
