COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL-JAN. 25.

There was a fair attendance of town and country dealer%
at this morning's market, but we had a dull sale for wheat,
which may be quoted at rather lower currencies than last
Tuesday. Flour was also a slow sale, at last week's prices.
Indian corn was in moderate request, at 37s per qr for best
mixed American, and 39s to 39s 6d for whtte. Oats and
oatmeal were slow of sale, but unaltered in price. Beans,
peas, and barley a retail sale, at about previous rates.
