COUNTRY MABKBTB.

LIVERPOOL-MA RCH 8.

At our corn exchange this morning there was only a
small attendance of town and country dealers, and the de-
mand for all articles was on the most reotricted scale, wheat
and flour each giving way about ld per cental ; quotations,
however, remain in a great measure nominal. In Indian
csrn little business passing, and no further quotable altera-
tion occurred in the value. Oats and oatmeal in limited
request. Egyptian beans held very firm. Barley had a
fair inquiry, and previous currencies are maintained. The
advices from New York, just to hand per America steamer,
report the supplies of both wheat and flour as on quite a
small scale, and good qualities of both were exceedingly
scarce. With a fair home demand wheat had again ad-
vanced about sc. per bushel, and flour 10c. per barrel.
