LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THIS DAY.
We had many hours' continuous rain in this district of
the country on Sunday last, since when the weather has
been fine, with brisk drying winds; in other quarters it
appears to have been more favourable, and harvest is re-
ported to be making fair progress in the south, and com-
mencing in many fields around us, as well a 3 in the earlier
portions of the northern and midland counties of England.
In a few of the markets of this country, at the close of the
Past week, the value of Wheat has slightly improved, but
in most others there has been experienced a decline of
several shillings per qr. ; while Spring Corn is stated to
be generally receding in value. In Ireland this grain has
been steady, but the demand inactive. Indian Corn
has been firmly held there, owing to the increasing
reports of extensive disease in the potato crop. The ten-
dency upon this market, during the interval from Friday,
has been still towards an advance on Wheat and Flour ;
but the reduction telegraphed from Mark-lane yesterday
calmed the pretensions of holders, and, on the whole, little
business was done subsequently. Our arrivals for the
week show a good supply of Wheat and a liberal accession
of American and Canadian Flour, many vessels having
made their appearance the last two days ; the imports of
Indian Corn are also to a fair extent, but are exceeded by
the exports to Ireland and coastwise.
The attendance of buyers to-day was considerable, and
the business done was chiefly for consumption. Wheat
and Flour at this day's market are in steady consumptive
demand, at fully the prices realised on Friday ; choice
samples of the former bringing a still higher price. Indian
Corn is scarce, and has advanced in price from ls. to 2s.
on last week's currencies ; it is in great demand for Ire-
land. Beans and Barley are slow of sale, at the rates
quoted last Friday. Oats and Oatmeal are in steady
request, without alteration in value.

cause to
MoNDAY.—The Western Powers will have no
complain of Austria in the Eastern question. The
gllarantees required from Russia by the Western Powers
and by Austria are really if not quite the same.

The expected notice regarding the Turkish loan was
not issued yesterday, some minor arrangements yet re-
maining to be adjusted, but it may be looked for without
delay.

INDIA.—The Times again ridicules as sheer nonsense
the reports from India of the increase of Russian influence
Itnd intrigue, and the consequent danger to the Indian

the
UNITED STATES.—The Times has an article on
subject of President Pierce's message respecting Cuba,
and un the late affair at Greytown. The Times remarks
,'l.4t, fortunately for the world the administration of Mr.
Ilerce has already lost the confidence of the American
people to such a degree, that their extravagant proceedings
are more likely to strengthen the opposition than to re-
store the popularity of the President.
