CORN MARKETS.

M•au-tairg, Friday.—Frost France the reports still
speak of advanang market& Tbe letters from our
provinces report continued inactivity in the trade,
with very little cheese In quotations. The heavy rains
that have fallen sines it evening appear by Ma
telegrams up this morning to have been very general
throughout the count. The irapreamon this, ha. they
cannot do much good, but if followed speedily by
sunshine they will not do much harm. At -lime
the attendance this morning was mull, and badman
quiet. The fresh receipts of home-grown profuse were
moderate, with moderate arrivel of foreign wheat and
large receipts of oats. Owing partly to the weather
and partly to the inquiry which stall prevails from
buyers for France, holders ol both English and foreign
wheat were lem desirous of realizing, and good qualities
of stands as well as suitable parcels floating, brought
fully Monday's rates. Superior wheats attreeted very
little attention, and tosell in quantity would becheaper.
Flour, both English and foreign, met • moderate
demand at about previous currency. Malt sold slowly
without clangs in value. Barley • slow sale, but not
offering on easier terms. Beans and peas written the
same as on Monday. Oats being in large supply sold
cheaply. Linseed continued to arrive freely, and par-
chases are made lees freely except at about Is. id. per
qr. decline. Rapeseed is offered on rather easier terms,
and transactions have somewhat increased. Oatcake
meets a steady demand at the previous currency.—

LIVIMPOOL, Friday.—The market is fairly attended.
'Wheat end flour in irregular demand, at last Tuesday's
rates. Indian corn is held for Tuesday's quotations ; but
the large shipments from America have caused buyers
to act with • meat caution, and very little business
has been done. Oats and oatmeal ; Egyptian wheat
unchanged.

Buicrot, Thursday.—At our market to-day the I
supply of English sheet was not al large as of late;
still, it seemed quite adequate to miller.' requirements,
the trade being dull, at lost week's prices. Foreign
Gently beld, but without much doing. Barley maintained
its value, the demand being waned to retail transac-
tions. A fair consumptive inquiry for oats, at fully
last week's values. Maize gave way Gd. to Is. per qr.
In beans scarcely anything paining.
