CORN.

LIVERPOOL, Dm 2.—At to-day's market we had
only a moderate attendance of home and country buyers,
the exceedingly reduced stock of wheat and flour afford-
ing little inducement for parties from a distance, and the
sales of each were to needy buyers only, with littlevariation
from the prices of Tuesday. Indian corn met with a good
inquiry, and as the parcels on passage are fast going out of
importers' hands, a trifling advance of about 3d per
quarter was established on the annexed currency, at which
improvement several parcels changed hands. In other
articles there is no variation to note.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 21.—At market to-day there
was an exceedingly slow sale for all articles of the trade,
and no higher prices could be obtained for either wheats
or flour, the small advance made of the latter at the
beginning of the week being lost. In oats no alteration
was observable, but oatmeal may be quoted 6d per load
higher. Egyptian beans were also 6d to is per quarter,
and barley 6d per load dearer. In other kinds of grain
no change worthy of remark.
WAKEFIELD, DEC. 22.—The arrivals of wheat have
been large, and of other grain fair. Wheat was is per
quarter lower, with a slow trade. Barley was fully as
dear. Other articles have not altered. Wheat, 14,500
quarters ; barley, 2,970 quarters.
DUBLIN, DEC. 22.—There was rather a slow market
to-day, but prices of Tuesday were very fully supported
for every description of grain, and in some few cases a
shade advance was realised on wheat. Indian corn met
an improved demand at an advance of is per qr.

are now asked by the holders of the small remaining
stock. There is more animation in lard, and the sales for
the week exceed 250 tons, a considerable portion of which

has been taken for France. For cheese there has been an
improved demand, and considerable sales have been made,
at an advance of about 2s per cwt. Linseed cake is dull
and rather lower.
