LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Dac. 16
Notwithstanding the large fresh arrivals, there has been
less pressure on the part of sellers, than we anticipated, at
our market this morning ; the Wheat trade has, however,
ruled very flat generally, and though we cannot quote a
greater depression than on Friday, for the choicest parcels
of white and red American, most of the medium descrip-
tions were obtainable cheaper than on that date, making
a reduction of 2d to 31 per bushel on the week.
