LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 2G.

The arrivals of Grain Coastwise and from Ireland for
the week ending yesterday, are on the whole, for the sea-
son of the year, only limited in amount, but of Oatmeal
and Flour we have to report a good supply ; while the im-
ports from abroad are extremely light.
The leading markets of this district last week having
been generally rather languid, and the accounts received
this morning from Mark-lane tending rather to coun-
teract than to impart the slightest impulse to the trade,
we have to report a slender attendance of buyers
at our Corn Exchange to-day, and a dull sale for Wheat of
all descrii dons ; the stock of Foreign, however, in the
granaries of the port, having been for some time
past gradually decreasing, without the prospect of any
efficient imports during thu winter, holders of such
steadily adhere to former prices, which therefore remain
unvaried. English and Irish, on the contrary, declined
14. to 2d. per 701 b. ; and Flour was difficult of sale at
ather lower rates.
Oats were a little dearer, and new Oatmeal brought
rather more money.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, were in limited request,
without any material change in prices.

CORN EXCHANGE, NOVENIDER 29.

By the average returns received this morning the duty on
Foreign Barley has declined to 3s. and advanced on Rye to 7s
6:1 per quarter, leaving the rate in all other respects the same as
la't week.

Our HA of imports for the last three days, exhibits a mode-
rately fair general supply of Grain and manufactured produce
Coastwise and from Ir, land, with a cargo of Wheat from Odessa,
and a few further arrivals from Can,,da and the United States.

During the period between Tuesday and to day, no transac-
tions of moment have taken place in any article of the trade,
which, how ver, has ruled tolerably steady, upon the whole, at
the currencies noted previously.
At this day's market all descriptions of both old and new
Wheat met an exceedingly limited demand, the millers still per-
sisting in their forbearance to purchase more than is absolutely
needful to serve their immediate purposes; the importers of
Foreign, however, refusing to accept lower terms, the prices of
such remained generally unvaried ; and although English and
Irish Vk he,ts were offered freely at a decline of full Id per 701 b.
from Tuesday's rates. few sales could be effected at the abate-
ment. Iri h Flour, having to contend with increasing supplies
of English, was very unsaleable, and both may be considered
Is per sack cheaper; whilst States and Canadian, attracting
Litt e attention, hardly maintained late prices.
Malting Barley, of which several further cargoes have arrived
C astwise, but are not yet rep.:rt d, was difficult of sale at a
reduction of Is. per qr. ; grinding samples also we: e t atherde-
pres,,ed in value. In Malt, Beans, and Pease, we have no
change to note.

Oat , being in moderate demand. fully suprorted our last
quot ti ns. Old Oatmeal was in tolerable request at an im-
proveme, t o' 3d to 6d per lb.; and new, though not equally
saleable, was the turn dearer.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 25.
Compared with that exhibited on many previous Monday's,
the supply of Beasts on sale was but moderate, while its gene-
ral quality was very inferior. The Beef trade this morning was
active, at an advance in the currencies obtained on this day
se'nnight of quite ad. per Sibs. ; the best Scots, &c. readily pro-
ducing 45 2d per Sibs.. and at which improvement a clearance
was effected without difficulty.
During the week the imports of live stock at Hull have amounted
to 96 Beasts and 40 Sheep; in London 72 Oxen and Cows, exclu-
sive of 40 Sheep. To-day we had only five Beasts and 20 Sheep of
fering from Holland. The whole found buyers at a trifle more
money. The arrival of Beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,400 Short Horns.
From Norfolk, susses, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 300 Scots, &e. ;
from the Western and Midland Counties, 600 Herons, Herefords,
Hunts, Irish Beasts, &c ; from other parts of Englaml, 500 of va-
rious breeds, and from Scotland 200 Horned and Polled Scots.
The supply of Sheep was only moderate, but quite equal to
meet the wants of the buyers. Prime old Downs commanded a
steady inquiry, at an advance in the quotations of 2d. per Sibs.,
the highest figure being 4s. 2d. ; but in the value r f other qua-
lities no var ation was noticed. The Veal trade was extremely
inactive. Ther, 'was a steady business doing in the primest
Pigs, but other qualities were a mere drug.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 30.
The husines of the past week h a been devoid of animation.
but prices hay- o the whole been tolerably steady: the same
r. mark applies also to Liverpool a d Wakefield.
At our marke to-day, he inquiry f r Wheat is very limited.
and a reduction of id to 2d per bushel is submitted to upon
e tlything but old, and choice dry saim,les of new. Flour is
tak n only in such retail qu aides as are required for present
use, and though not perhaps quotably lower, there is a dis-
position to meet buyers where this an be done by submitting
to a small reduction Oats, steadily maintain, and in some in-
static s rather xceed former rates : the same may be said of
old and new Oatmeal, and the quantity of each article offering
is small, but sufficient for the demand.

The high price of eans has brought forward increased sup.
plies : old, ale Is :•nd new. 2s per quarter lower. Malt, slow of
sale, but flue qualities maintain their value. The listof arrivals
it will be observed exhibits a fair supply from all quarters.
