COUNTRY AfARRETS.

LIVERPOOL-MAY 17.

There was a thin attendance of the town and country
trade at this morning's market, and we had a languid
business doing in both wheat and flour, at no advance on
Tuesday's rates. Oats and oatmeal were at lain quotations,
with a slow sale. Barley and peas were difficult to move,
and beans without change in value. Indian corn in fair
request—mixed American, 34s 3d to 34s 6d per 4801 b; yel-
low, 35s ; and white 35s to 365.
