Markets.

The trade of the imuntry has been fairly active during
the week, the weather having been favourable for the
disposal of 'wring goods. The home demand for goods
hag been considerable and the export inquiry hat been
to • fair average exkint. The truffle returns on the
feeding railways are very satisfactorily; but as the
consumption of oosl will now be largely diminished,
the good. traffic on some of the lines may be expected
to fall off.
Business in the Corn trade hat been very quiet, and.
so far a. wheat is oonowned, the millers have operated
with much caution. The 'applies of foreign produee,
"anal nail prospective, being ample, millers show no
disposition to run Into stock. For spring corn the trade
has been very quiet, at late rates. It is stated that the
Young wheat plant looks thin in some district., Spring
sowing, however, has been completed under favourable
circunistanoe•

from forcing sales. In the little busitivis oming, however. an omaional light C. noemlon has been made on both wheat and

noiney. The Imports from abroad Into Liverpool have been
very heavy of wheat, fair of Indian corn, pm, and door, and
moderate of beans. From Ireland the receipt, of oate and tat-
meal have been manty. Owing to mine market, being held off
the Instal I lay there ea. a small attendance at our Com-

a dew sale, but were not quotably lower. Flour wee difficult
