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.
