Country Market.

LIVERPOOL-DEC. 12.

There was only a moderate attendance this morning, and
an indisposition was shown for business in wheat and flour
unless a concession in price was made. Holders were firm.
In some cases a decline of ld to 2d per bushel upon wheat
was submitted to, to sell ex ship. Flour and Indian corn
no worse in value. Oats and oatmeal steady. Barley,
beans, and peas supported late rates.

WAKEFIELD—DEc. 12.
There was not a large attendance. Wheat being limited
in sale, prices gave way about 2s per qr. on the rates of
last Friday. Common barley also lather cheaper, but fine
samples firm. Oats, beans, and shelling rather easier to
buy.
