LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 21

The import duty upon Beans is raised to 15s. 6d. per qr. ;
that on all other Foreign, and wholly on British Colonial
produce, remaining the same as last week.
A few parcels of Wheat, a moderate quantity of Oats, and
a further good supply of Oatmeal, form the principal arrivals
from Ireland into this port since Tuesday, and a trivial lot of
Barley is all that we have to note coastwise. From abroad,
the imports consist merely of 3105 qrs. of Wheat, 712 qrs.
Indian Corn, and 9100 barrels of Flour, the latter from New
York.

From the close of our first market this week until to-day,
we have had so extremely little actual business passing in
any article of the Corn trade, either free or in bond, as to
render any detailed remarks perfectly unnecessary.
Having a return of severe frost, with a slender attendance
of millers at our Corn Exchange, to-day, all descriptions of
free Wheat continued to meet a very languid sale for both
home and country consumption ; but several further orders
having been executed for Ireland, the holders of good quali-
ties evinced rather more firmness, and the current rates of
Tuesday last were maintained. In bonded Wheats no recent
operations have transpired.
English and Irish Flour remained very difficult of sale at
our last quotations ; and Foreign duty paid, although moving
gradually, was the turn cheaper. For States Flour under
lock we have had some inquiries, and 275. offered, but the
importers generally requiring 28s. per barrel, no transactions'
of moment have been reported to-day.

Ba►lev, Malt, and Pears remain exceedingly dull, and are
rather depressed in value.
English and Irish Beans also appear to meet very little
notice, whilst Egyptian are now held more steadily at 29s
to 30s per qr., at which, however, little business has been'
done.

Oats and Oatmeal, upon a very limited demand, barely
support our last quotations.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 24.
The downward tendency of our market last week has for the
last day or two received a slight check, and holders are now very
firm at Friday's prices, refusing any further concession to the
buyer, and rather than submit, are taking their stocks off the
market. The sales on Saturday are only 2000 bales, and to-day
4000 bales. The bulk of the Cotton on the market is of the new
crop, and is of a very inferior quality, and anything but ominous
of a very large crop. unless low prices are making the grower
negligent in getting it for the market.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
The trade continue to abstain from buying more than they im-
mediately require, and the market has been dull all week. Prices
of American generally have given way id, and the middling
qualities of the new crop in many instances id per lb ; Brazil and
Egyptian are without change, hut Surat is id per lb lower. The
large rates of East India in London yesterday went off well, 20,000
having been sold at prices on a par with the previous currency.
Speculators have taken 100 American, and Exporters 700 American
and 300 Surat. 1500 La Guayra are advertised for auction on
Friday next.
