LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 28.

Preceded by stormy wet weather since the close of last
week, we have had a rather heavy fall of snow this morn-
ing, the only one of any consequence here during the
winter; but the wind having previously blown from the
west, many vessels have arrived, containing a fair quantity
of Wheat and Oats, with a liberal supply of Flour and
Oatmeal from Ireland, and a few parcels -of Grain coast-
wise; the imports from abroad comprising merely 600 qrs.
of Egyptian Beans, and 1760 qrs. of Indian Corn from
Trieste and Marseilles.

Although we had rather more country buyers in at-
tendance this morning than last week, there was still but
a very moderate demand for Wheat of any description.
Foreign samples, however, continued to be held at late
prices, at which a few sales were effected ; and of Irish
Wheat several parcels were taken at a decine of ld. per
701bs. below the rates of Tuesday last. English New
Wheats experienced a corresponding abatement.

The Flour trade was exceediugly dull, and rather look-
ing downwards.

-Barley, Malt, and Pease were each ls. per sack cheaper ;
and Beans rather depressed in value.
Although for Oats there was rather a better demand to-
day, they were saleable only at a reduction of Id. per
451bs.

Oatmeal was taken off very sparingly at a decline of 3d
per 2401b5.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 31

The import rate on Foreign Beans is advanced to 7s. 6d. per
qr., but upon other produce there is no change in the duties this
week.

,We had a considerable fall of snow again in the early part of
yesterday, and a severe frost in the course of last night ; and
though the wind has been mostly eastward, several vessels
which were near at hand have worked into port, conveying a
moderate quantity of Wheat and a fair supply of Oats, Oatmeal
and Flour from Ireland, but very little Grain Coastwise; and
from abroad we have only to report 2095 qrs. Beans from Malta,
with 1840 qrs. Indian Corn from Trieste.
Exclusive of a few casual sales, and those very unimportant,

nothing worthy of remark has occurred in any branch of the
Cone trade here, from the close of Tuesday's market to the pre-

wring w

however, prices genera

Ly appeared

Upon a very meagre attendance of buyers at our Corn Ex

who being still well supplied from preferable sources, have been
latterly in a great measure independent of this market ; we
have to no:e an exceedingly dull trade this morning, for Wheat
of all descriptions; and Irish, of which a few limited sales only
were made, receded Id per 701 b.; whilst or English or Foreign
no transactions were reported, and eaoh may be considered
equally depressed in value. English and Irish Flour also con-
tinued to move off with difficulty, and late prices were scarcely
maintained. Of sweet States Flour, in bond, a few hundred
bat rels ch,tnged hands at 17s ; but in States or Canadian duty
paid, no business was apparent.
Malti:.g Barley and Malt, being nearly without inquiry, hardly
supported our last quotations ; but of inferior Barley and Pease
for the purposes of feeding, a Lw parcels were disposed of on
r..ther lower terms than of late.

Oats and 0 ttmea', notwithstanding a very feeble demand,
were without alteration in value.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, JAN. 28.
We have but a moderate supply of grain at this day's market.
There was a good demand for fine Wheat at last week's prices,
but secondary sorts were only in limited request, at former
rates. Barley meets an exceedingly slow ,ale at a decline of
ls to 2s per quarter. No alteration in the value of either Oats
or Beans.
