LIVERPOOL CORN EXCAANGE, JAN. 26.

The arrivals into this rort, 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 hog ish, 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.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 26.
No change is observable iu the grain duties this week ; the
Wheat average is slowly rising, but no material abatement in the
duty can be looked fur, 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 113 barrels United
States Flour, there is nothing fresh in born 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 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 225,
and the best brands are worth 2is lid per barrel A few further
parcels of Wheat floating, swell as for shipment, have changed
hands in the course of the week, and one or two during market
hours to-day.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 22.
For the primest Scots, Herefords, runts. and Devon% we had
a steady demand, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this
day s'nnight ; but in the middling and inferior kinds only a
moderate amount of business was transacted, at barely late
ales , still a good clearance, notwithstanding the heaviness in
the demand in the dead markets, was effected by the salesmen.
The numbers of sheep were a fair average, and in good con-
dition. Prime downs and half.breds fully supported last week's
rates ; but all other breeds moved off slowly, and their curren-
cies were barely supported. The Veal trade was again active,
owing to the supply of Calves being small. and the quotations
advanced 2d per Sib. Pigs were in moderate supply and steady
inquiry, at fully late quotations. We had no foreign stock on
offer this morning, neither have any imports taken place since
Monday last, the present low prices here causing such specula-
tions to involve a great sacrifice of capita:. Per stone of Sibs
sinking the offal.
