COUNTRY MARKE2'S.

LIVERPOOL-MARCH 24.

Th-..s weather during the week has been cold, with frost
and some slight falls of snow. The business transacted in
wheat has been of a retail character, without any chiinge
in prices. Several parcels of Baltimore flour have been
taken for export at full prices, Choice cuts of oatmeal
have been scarce, and the turn dearer. In other articles
there has been no change. The shipments to Ireland con-
sist of 615 quarters of wheat, 2,114 quarters of Indian
corn, 376 sacks and 2,269 barrels of flow•. 1858 barrels
of flour have been shipped coastwise, and 1,239 loads and
435 barrels of flour to Australia. At our market this day
there was an improved consumptive demand for wheat, at
the full prices of this day week. Oats met a slow dragging
sale, and buyers might have supplied themselves on rather
lower terms. Barley, beans, and peas were unchanged,
with only a limited inquiry. Both yellow and white
Indian corn were 6d per qr. cheaper. Oatmeal supported
full prices. There was a better inquiry for American
flour, and the dealers bought pretty freely at the full rates
of Tuesday. Sack flour was hardly so easy to purchase.
