The Liverpool Corn Trade continues to droop, and
the business done to-day in both Wheat and Flour

has been very limited, although a decline of 2d per
cental was submitted to in the former, and Gd to 9d
per cental in the latter.

Manchester Market gains strength, and a fair
amount of business has been done to-day at slightly
improved quotations, for both goods and yarns.
The Continental trade is still suspended.
