Country Market.

LIVERPOOL—Noy. 9.

A good attendance of millers and dealers to-day. The
holders demanding high prices for wheat and flour checked
business, though an advance of 1d to 2d per bushel took
place on old and now wheat, 6d per barrel on American,
and.ls to 2s per sack on Spanish flour. English flour sold
at full prices. Indian corn met a ready sale at 2s to 2s 6d
more money. Oats rather easier in price, but a poor sale.
Oatmeal, barley, and peas unchanged.
