LIVERPOOL July "A signal depression has
taken place to the corn market since the depar-
'ure ofthe last steamer, attributable TO many
causes, but particularly 10 the prevalence of fine
weather anil the growing steadiness Of the money

than 34s Cd per bbl, and in some few instances IL

slightest speculative disposition. Larger guam
titles were sold at 3ls per Dbl but that is price
which could not be realized for any considerable
quantity. To day Richmond and Alexandra are
