At the Liverpool Corn Market to-day, though
we had a good attendance of both town and
country millers, the demand for Wheat was on
the whole but to a moderate extent; transactions
run chiefly on fine white and red descriptions,
and these exceeded the rates of `Tuesday last by
lei. per eental, all other sorts remaining without
change in value; for the moment the large con-
sumers appear to be supplied, and inclined to act
cautiously. The improvement of Friday in prices
of Flour was maintained, but the demand falls off.
leans fully supported late quotations. Oats and
Oatmeal met a slow sale without alteration in
'value. Indian Corn is quite as dear ; the con-
sumptive demand, however, was unimportant,
and there were no longer speculative buyers in
any climititY.—Taking the country generally,
i
the latter half of last week was unpropitious n
regard to weatshceortkz,nufavourable change has
extended tohitherto comparatively
free from such adverseti inilltuences ; the reports 1
of the critical situation

tainly disheartening, but there have now ;
