small, buyers holding back in the hope of effecting a
further reduction. A small quantity of Cheese has

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—APau, 3

This morning's market was not so extensively attended
as the two previous, and we had less animation generally ;
still the demand for wheat, though for the most part in
retail quantities, proved to a tolerably fair extent in the
aggregate, including several parcels taken for Irish
account, and we retain pretty steadily the current rates
of Tuesday last for American as well as other descrip-
tions. Flour is in moderate request by consumers at pre-
vious values. Barley steady, and Beans again rather
dearer ; stock of both articles in small compass. Oats
and Oatmeal find a fair enquiry at full prices. Indian
Corn moves slowly to-day; mixed and yellor inclining
easier; white is scarce by comparison, and consequently
maintains its value firmly. R. MAKIN & SONS.
