Liverpool, Nov. 23. -The importations of Grain during the past week having been very limited, added to the improvement in London of the 15th inst. were (unitedly) circumstances which led to an active demand for Wheats, and some considerable sales were effected throughout that period at an advance of 6d. to 10d, per bushel; and on Flour 2s. per sack. Oats were also in good demand at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per bushel. . For Malt and fine malting Barley, holders were demanding Sd. to 6d. per bushel more than on Tuesday last. Oatmeal improved 2s. per pack; and Beans and Peas were each 2s. to 3s. per quarter dearer. At this day's market but few good samples of Grain were exhibited, however, the attendance of buyers being tolerably good, sales to a fair extent were made in Wheat and Oats at fully the advance previously noted.
