THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

CORN.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 21.—We bad a limited attendance of either
the local or country trade at our market this morning ; wheats
have found a difficult sale for consumption, tut the transactions
have been at much the same rates as on Tuesday for prime
qualities, the turn ld to 2d per bushel in favour of buyers for
secondary and inferior descriptions; we had some speculative
inquiry, but holders not sufficiently giving way, it resulted in
very little business. The sale for flour has been very flat, and
the value nominally somewhat easier for both sacks and barrels.
Barley and beans dull, with previous rates barely maintained.
Oats and oatmeal held about Tuesday's currencies, but scarcely
anything doing. Indian corn is also exceedingly dull, and a
reduction of 6d per quarter submitted to.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 20.—At our market to-day there was
rather a firmer feeling in the trade, and with but a slight increase
in the demand, the full prices of this day week were realised for
both wheat and flour. In the value of all other articles scarcely
any change was observable, and therefore previous quotations
may be repeated.

PRESTON, DEC. 22.—There was a good supply of English
wheat at the: Corn-exchange this morning, which met an active
demand, and although there were no fine samples of either white
or red to command the extreme quotations of last Saturday, yet
the general qualities in most instances exceeded the prices obtain-
able on that day. Parcels in granary very firm. Flour unchanged.
Beans ended flat at an abatement of Is per windle. Oats con-
tinue neglected though offered on rather lower terms. English
oatmeal Is. 6d., per load lower. Irish nearly unsaleable.

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 21.—The wheat trade was slow; best
qualities were held firmly for last week's rates, but other sorts
were rather cheaper. Fine barley maintained its price. Other
kinds were in limited demand. _ln oats and shelling no change
occurred. New beans were rather lower.

WISBECH, DEC. 22.—T0-day there has been a good quantity
of wheat showing, which all handle better by reason of the keen
frost, best runs are Is to 2s, and common runs 2s to 3s cheaper.
No alteration in beans, oats, or peas.

CORK, DEC. 22.—A week of very bad weather has greatly
interrupted business, and flour sells slowly at the late reduction.
Foreign wheats are held rather firmly, few buyers appearing.
Indian corn continues dull, with light consumption.
DUBLIN, DEC. 21.—The supply at the Corn-exchange to-day
was extremely dull, and the only alteration we have to report in
prices is in oats and Indian corn, which must be quoted 6d lower
than on Tuesday.
