EFFECT OF SIR ROBERT PEKL's SPEECH ON THE
CORN MARkETs.-Itis Is well deserving oi notice that
the announcement OF Sir Robert Peefs intended
change IN the corn-laws has produced scarcely any
effect on the corn market The price of wheat, in
stead OF going down with run, as 1t ought to have
done according to the confident assertions OF
monopolIst writers and speakers, has slightly risen
in several markets and remained stationary in most,
and has not anywhere sunk to serious extent. As
the corn dealers are at once shrewd and sensl-
tive race, we may take it for granted that they do
not expect any fall from present prices to follow the
Introduction of the new system; if they did, their
tears would have been shown by rapid decline in
oil the principal markets in the kingdom. The
fact IS they know what is the real extent OF the
supply both OF British and foreign grain too well to
entertain any such iears.-Livapooi Times.
