ETANDARD-OFPICB, DEC. 18, TIM 8.11. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tars ULT The more steady tone of the trade, commencing last week, continued up to the close, and early yesterday wehad transac tions in Wheat to some extent at full !Aces, as well as a fair demand for Flour; but on receipt of telegraphic advice* from Mark•lane, business again became dull. This has been attri buted to the renewal of rumours of peace negotiations being likely to lead to a settlement, showing the sensitive state of the grain market, at times when prices exhibit as at present a high range of value, to influences however improbable or un certain. The American markets are advisedlower, an d this h as had some effect upon our trade ; but the quotations from all the ports of the seaboard continue much too high for profitable business; very little grain produce of any kind was shipping for Great Britain, and all the orders transmitted hence were of mut% too low limits to admit of their being executed; as we men• tioned some time ago, buyers have found much greater ad vantage in purchasing on passage, or after arrival on this side. For the week, we have to note a good arrival of Wheat, Flour, and Indian Corn, chiefly from America ; the imports coastwise and from Ireland, except of Oatmeal, are light, and our exports equally moderate. The arrivals from the United States during the week amount to no less than 34,367 criarters of Wheat and 35,034 barrels of Flour. At the market today there was a general decline in valve, and bat little business was done. Wheat may be quoted per 701 b., and Flour 6d. to is. per barrel decline from Friday's rates. Oatmeal 6d. per load and Indian Corn 6d. to is. per quarter cheaper. In other articles a corresponding redaction. Notioe has been given that there will be no. corn market held here next Tneeday, nor the Tuesday following, the first being Christmas Day, and the second New-year's Day. illtvervectoL I thiuteC. and trubtithect 14y R- TRA.CKKRI 04 NO. eerr , i , itloet. it Ne. 4. rroxeitt. i
