LIVERPOOL CORN TRADE. Jan 10

/ LIZ EN- WI INN TRADE, Jan. -.
i The imports from Ireland and coastvi,e
continue very limited. and from foreign por,s
with the exception of Indian Corn and Flour
thew are quite unimporiant, while The expor,s
are very heavy and appear TO be increasing
weekly.
The trade during the past week was very
animated, and large demand was experien.
ced daily for every article.
4 The amount Of business in Wheat was
good deal restricted by the absence Of suitable
qualities, most of the Mediterranean soft and
nearly eyery.sample of hard having been clear
ed off, and NE finer descriptions Of which our
E small stock now consists were taken for Ire.

! We are inclined 10 think that, unless the
spring should prove extraordinary propitous,
and the arrivals from the other side Of the At
antic more extensive than we have reason TO
calculate on, the value Of all kinds OF food will
/ remain high up 10 the lime Of next harvest
+ The trade in wheat has not been quite so excl.
ted this as The preceding week, the very high
/ terms demanded having had the effect, as sta
| ted above, of causing all parties TO exercise
more than usual prudence in their operations
But notwithstanding somewhat diminished
demand, the tendency Of prices has been stea-
Oily upwards.
At Liverpool, on Tuesday, there was good
attendance of buyers from the manufacturing
districts and from ireland and the quantity
Of wheat on sale being moderate, rates Cd per
| 20 ID, or IS cd per quarter above those OF that
! day se'nnight, we've obtained without difficult
ty. Later in the week further enhancement
Of Cd TO Sd per 20 Id. was established, several
I
ulators at the rise last named.
The advices from Scotland are of a similar
character to the reports from other parts of the
kingdom. Not only wheat but all species OF
corn is rapidly increasing there.
The arrivals of the English wheat into Lon
don have again been moderate, the high range
OF prices al Liverpool and other northern mar
kets having caused the shippers on the cast
coast TO direct their consignments to those pla-
ces rather than TO the metropolis. In free
foreign wheat fair amount Of business has
/ been done during the week, the lower descrip-
tons having been in request for the manuiac-
ture Of meal for Ireland, and the finer sorts
having excited attention for local use. The
continued demand from the channel, and the
smallness Of the stock remaining on hand, to-
gether with the certainty that no foreign sup
! plies can for month or two be calculated on,
have all tended to give an upward tendency TO
prices, and the rise since last Monday cannot
be estimated AT less than Is 10 Is per quarter.
For American the inquiry has been lively,
md further enhancement Of Is per Dbl has
been pretty generally realized on the best
| brands.
! Floating cargoes Of Indian Corn have again
been much sought after on Irish account, and
| important bargains were closed on Wednes-
day and Friday, on terms hardly procurable
| IN the commencement of the week.
From Philadelphia the shipments had been
larger, viz $50, 944 bbls -four, 223 ,944 BUSH
els wheat, and 272,768 bushels Indian corn.
HAMBuRs.--For fine high mixed wheat
holders refused TO accept below Cos to els, and
for fair high mixed SIS to sos per or. had been
demanded, whilst the most ordinary descrip-
lions had been held at Sos TO 52s per Or. free
on board, in spring. Rye had been much in
quired for, and having come very sparingly
TO hand had realized equal TO AS per or.
| At the Lower Baltic ports the stocks OF
| grain are said TO be extremely small.
AT Hamburg on the 9th of January, the
frost was severe, and the Elbe was then COM
pletely frozen over. Prices Of both Wheat
and Corn had further advanced. The very.
great rise which has within the last month Ia
ken place in prices here has PLACED quotations
of Wheat in this country above those of Mar
sailles and other places in the Mediterranean.
At Marsailles, on the 10th Of Jan'ry, com
mon Polish Odessa Wheat, deliverable in
March, was obtainable at equal TO SIS TO 54s,
and superior at SIS per or. free.
In most Of the French markets Wheat and
Flour have undergone further rise, and pri-
ces are now too nearly alike in this and that
country 10 allow of business being done with
advantage.
