LIVERPOOL - OCT. 30.

The transactions at our corn exchange this morning were
limited ; we had, however, more inquiry for wheat from
the millers in the interior, indicating that our present
range of prices will command next week a better and larger
demand than we have lately had. Good American red
wheat can be bought at 7s to 7s Fcl, and white 7s 10d to
8s per 701bs. Choice American flour is not lower, but
English sack is offering at 2s decline. Best oats id., and
secondary ld per bushel lower. Indian corn is 6d per qr.
cheaper. No other change on Tuesday's quotations.
