LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
January 27.

During the past week we have been alternately visited with severe
frost, accompanied with heavy falls of snow, which yesterday dis-
appeared under the influence of a heavy gale of wind and rain,
from the westward, which has prevented vessels from proceeding
to sea, consequently the arrivals coastwise, or from the Isle of
Man is limited.
By this succession of foul weather, which has also prevented our
local farmers from opening their pits, the demand for Potatoes
overboard vessels, by our retail town dealers, has been unusually
good for the season, coupled with an increased vend for tran-
shipment into the interior, and the best descriptions command id
tioth advance over the current prices of this day week. Manx,
Scotch and Irish Cups 2s 2d to 2s 3d ; round, rough and fiat Reds
25 3d to 2s 8d ; Seedlings 2s 6d to 2s 9d 4, pit.
There is only a limited demand for Turnips, at prices nominally
the same as my last quotations. . . .

The present il,oisterCms weather has preveuted our neighbouring
farmers from bringing supplies of produce forward, yet there is no
alteration occured worthy of notice. _

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 25

The receipts from Ireland since this day week comprise a
moderate quantity of Wheat and Flour, with a fair supply
of Oats, and a further large influx of Oatmeal ; hut of any-
thing coastwiNe we have still very little to notice. From the
Continent of Europe, we have to report a good supply of
Wheat, with several parcels of Barley, Beaus and Pease—
and from the United States, 17,714 barrels of Flour.

In consequence of to-day being observed as a holiday at the
Custom-house, and the general business of the town being
partially suspended, the transactions in Wheat were only to
a moderate extent this morning ; and with rather less firm-
ness than at the close of the week ; secondary and inferior
descriptions were the turn lower : prime qualities, notwith-
standing, were scarcely affected in value, and for such we
therefore repeat the current rates of this day se'nnight.—lti
foreign Wheat, either in bond or afloat, no recent sales have
been reported.
English and Irish Flour continued to move off slowly at
late prices ; and Foreign duty paid was rather depressed in
value, a few parcels Of Canadian having been sold at 345.
States Flour under lock was also offered at a decline of Is.
per barrel.
In Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, very little business was
apparent, and former prices scarcely maintained.
Oats, with a better supply of good samples, but no im-
proved demand, obtained the rates of Tuesday last. Oat-
meal, although by no means in lively request, was ratheJ
more saleable to consumers, on the terms of last week.
