CORN.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 28.—This morning's market was tolerably
well attended by local and neighbouring millers and dealers, but
we had few buyers down from any distance in the country: there
was a fair inquiry for wheat, but at a reduction to which holders
were not disposed to submit, and the transactions in this Grain
have consequently proved limited; upon the sales made we make
a decline of 2d to 3d per bushel in the best, and somewhat more
in the secondary qualities, from the currencies quoted ten days
ago.—Flour finds a very sluggish demand, and we reduce the
value of sacks is to I 6d, and that of barrels la in the above
interval.—With a very slow inquiry, we note Barley 2d per bushel,
Beans, is per quarter, oats id to Id per bushel, Oatmeal 6d-to 9d
per load, cheaper.—The increased quantity of Indian Corn at
hand has not found buyers to-day. though offered at a further
slight decline; a few parcels have been taken ex quay at 42s to
42s 6d. per 480 lbs fcr mixed American.—This market will not be
again opened for business before Friday next, New Year's Day
being kept as a holiday.

MANCHESTER, Dac. 27.—At market to-day wheat was held
for previous rates. The demand for flour was of a retail character,
at rates similar to those required on last market day. In the
value of oats and oatmeal no change can be noted. Peas were
cheaper and quite neglected. Barley barely supported former
prices. New English beans were quite 2s per quarter lower, and
old English and Egyptians somewhat easier to purchase.
WAKEFIELD, DEC. 2S.—The wheat trade was slow at a decline
of Is per quarter, and common sorts were difficult to quit. Fine
barley met a fair sale at late rates. Beasts, oats, and shelling were
each rather lower.
PRESTON, DEc. 29.—There was a less show of English wheat
at our market this morning than for several weeks past, and the
sale was slow, but it was mostly cleared without submitting to
any lower prices. For all descriptions from granary 2d to 3d per
bushel was readily cot,ceded. Flour the turn easier. Beans fully
better sold. Oats nominal. Oatmeal still difficult to quit.
WISBECH, DEc. 29.—Although wheat handles rather damp
yet, there is more disposition on the part of buyers to take a few
parcels; and sales progressed steadily at the rates of last week.
Oats, beans, Szc., rather cheaper.

CORK, DEC. 29.—As is usual after the holidays the trade is
taking rest. and there are very few transactions to mark quota-
tions. In flour, wheats, and Indian corn the tendency is down-
wards, and if buyers appeared they would obtain concessions.
Large arrivals to the harbour add to the suspense, but their dis-
tribution and the general light stocks held by consumers give
promise of an early return to active trade.
DUBLIN, DEC. 28.—A very poor supply of everything at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and the market was perhaps the dullest
of the season. Wheat scarcely supported the currencies of Friday,
and oats and barley must be quoted 3d to 6,1 cheaper. Indian
corn was offered at Is reduction, without inducing business.
