LIVERPOOL CORN EXCH&NG,E,JAN 4

A, A. V al. • • • _
The new year having commenced with frost and adverse
winds, we have, in consequence, to report a very limited
supply of either British or foreign Grain fresh in for to-day,
except Pease, of which the quantity is again rather large, and
of Flour, of which upwards of 17,000 brls have arrived from
Canada and the American States ; whence we had a similar
import in the course of last week, and from the latter country
further shipments to some extent are coming forward.
The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and
Oatmeal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st De-
cember, 1841 :

IN BOND.-11'heat, '15,262 qrs. ; Barley, 5258 qrs. ; Oats,
14,892 qrs. ; Rye, 1757 qrs. ; Beans, 15,575 qrs. ; Pease,
5069 qrs. ; Flour, 26,388 brls.
FREE.—Wheat, 150,000 qrs ; Barley, 10,000 qrs ; Oats,
25,000 qrs ; Rye qrs ; Beans. 35,000 qrs ; Peas,
13,000
qrs ; Flour, 95,000 barrels and 10,000 sacks, and 70,000 loads
oatmeal.
dull as-
Our market to-day opened with an exceedingly
pect, and all the leading branches of the trade suffered more
or less depression.
The millers and dealers continuing to buy with extreme
reluctance, scarcely sufficient to serve the wants of the mo-
ment, holders were induced to submit to a decline of ld to
2d for the best, and 2d to 3d per 701bs. for other descriptions
of English, Irish, and foreign free Wheats ; at this reduction,
however, sales to a tolerable amount were effected for ship-
ment to Ireland, constituting the only transactions in this
grain deserving notice.
Flour of all sorts, moving off very sparingly, States and
Canadian receded 6d per barrel, and English as well as Irish
Is per sack below the rates of this day week.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in-
quiry, were very difficult of sale, at an abatement of is. per
quarter each.
Oats and Oatmeal, partaking of the general languor, so
conspicuous in other articles of the corn trade, were the
turn cheaper.
