LIVERPOOL. MAY 25.
There was a limited attendance to-day, and only a von'
moderate business for the passing consumption resulted.
Common American wheat was offered at a reduction of id
to 2d per bushel, but in the higher qualities no concession
was made. Flour stood ground better than wheat, and
was merely called easier. Indian corn had a fair trade at
Friday's prices. Nu other change in last week's quote-
eons for other articles.

LEEDS, MAT 25.
The arrival of wheat is large, millers try to buy on lower '
terms, but any decline of moment is resisted—the trade
is, therefore, slow, and no advance on Friday's rates can
be established. Barley unaltered. Oats and beans quite
as dear. Other articles as before.
Averages for the week :
Wheat, 43s 5d I
Oats, 298 74d Peas, -8 Od.
I
Barley, 34s Oid Beans, 43s Sid Rye, Od.

CM:MOH-RATS CONTEST.— On Friday a vestry was hel'
at Alton, to a,k }or a church rate of 4d. in the pound.
The demand was resisted ; the votes being taken accord-
ing to Sturges Bourne's Act, the numbers were—For
the'rate, 30 ; against it, 25. A poll was demanded,
which terminated at four o'clock on Saturday, when the
numbers were—For the rate, 138 ; against, 77 ;
rity for the rate, 61. A protest, in writing, against the
estimate, on the ground of illegality, was handed to the
chairman, which be refused to receive. If the non-oer
tents are disposed to resist the rate, it will be easy to do
so on the score of illegality.
