CORN.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 14.—This morning's market was not so
largely attended as was looked for, but we had a number of
country buyers, several from a distance; in the face of our
American imports, however, we experienced a considerable
inquiry for wheats, and, a fair quantity, chiefly of red American,
was taken for consumption at an advance of 2d to 3d per bushel
upon Tuesday's quotations, besides several large parcels sold for
holding over: white wheats, and other sorts of foreign, were also
held for more money, but not being in so general demand, they
did not participate in the full extent .of improvement. Flour is
more firmly held, but we do not note ally particular advance, nor
any weight of business doing. Barley and beans without change.
Oats and oatmeal were more steady in value, and in somewhat
better request. In the early part of the morning a few parcels
of mixed Indian corn were picked up at 445 6d ex quay, subse-
quently 45s was paid for more limited quantities, but upon the
whole a tolerably good business was transacted.

MANCHESTER, DEC. I3.—At market to-day there was little
or no improvement in the demand for any article of the trade.
We quote wheat 2d to-3d per bushel, flour is to 2s per sack, oat-
meal 6d per load, oats Id per bushel, beans and barley each is per
quarter, and peas 2s to 4s per quarter lower than on last market
day.
PRESTON, DEC. 15.—At the Corn-exchange to-day, there was
a large supply of English wheat, which met a ready sale at fully
last week's rates. Very little doing in parcels from granary.
Flour the turn easier. Beans moved slowly at last week's prices.
Oats neglected at an abatement of id per bushel. Oatmeal con-
tinues to meet a limited enquiry at a further reduction of is per
load. Other articles without change:
WAKEFIELD, DEC. 14.—Wheat was is lower than last week;
the business doing was small, and factors were not disposed to
press sales. Barley Is per quarter cheaper. Beans, oats, and
shelling, had also slightly declined.

WISBECH, DEC. 15.—There was a fair show of wheat here
to-day, which meta free sale at is per quarter more than last week.
Beans and blue peas are a drug. Oats rather easier to buy.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, DEC. 15.—T0-day there was a
large supply of farmers' wheat, and all dry samples met a brisk
demand at about the currency of this day week, thus recovering
Tuesday's decline. For south country new very little passing,
but there is a fair request fur old wheats at full prices—Norfolk
new 86s to 87s, old 88s to 89s, fine old Stralsund 923. Barley
enquired after, and prices for both malting and grinding qualities
steady. Beans and peas a slow sale. There was a large supply
of farmers' oats, the trade inactive, and prices Is per quarter
cheaper for all descriptions.
CORK, DEC. Is.—The flour trade has been very slow, at a
decline of is. per cwt., bakers confining their orders to late pur-
chases. Foreign wheats continue to be warehoused, but few of
the samples are prime, and t,:e trade is unwilling to pay the
prices sought. Indian corn has but indifferent sale at the
reduced quotations.

DUBLIN, DEC. I4.—There was a very small supply of all
kinds of grain at market to-day, arrivals by canal being stopped
by the ice. The best qualities of everything were more easily
saleable at the currencies of Tuesday, but other descriptions met
a very slow demand, and were scarcely so dear. Very little doing
in Indian corn, and we do not alter our quotations.
