ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA,
The steamer Caledonia reached Boston yesterday
evening from Liverpool, having sailed on the 10Th of
October. Through the medium of the magnetic tel
egraph we received the following summary of intel
llgence brought by her:
LIVERPOOL, Der. l9,lS47, (noon)
Corn Mdrkefs.-We quote best Western Canal

dria at rs 26s. per bbl; Philadelphia and Baltimore

oat neal per 2iO lbs % 24s.; Indian corn per 4SO
lbs 30 n 33s.; Indian meal per Dbl. Ia n l5s
The corn market is Of course sensibly influenced
by the unparalleled stringency Of the money market,
and shews general decline, particularly in quota
tons for inferior parcels. Indian Corn has depre-
ciated from to IS. quarter, and Meal has also re-
ceded in value and Is in very limited demand. The
above quotations represent the maximum price, but
occasional forced sales have been made considerably

In London yesterday, there was an extensive sup
can receded from D. TO D. Sd. per quarter, without
any progress being made in saes
p So o'clock-The markets up to this moment
are losing ground. Flour cannot be quoted beyond
26s per bbl., and Indian corn shows tendency to
rise above 0s The stoppage Of the Liverpool Bank
ing Company is Just announced-its liabilities are
not heavy. The cotton market is much depressed.

general vicisstudes Of trade and shows gradual de-
| lerioraton since our last Teegraphic advices.
The quantity of cotton pressing upon the market
greatly exceeds the demand producing sacrifices on
the part Of sellers who have been compelled TO sub
init to prices considerably under quotations for
the week ending the 18th, amounted to 81 700 bales,
of which 5000 bales were on speculation, and 1900
bales for export The transactions of the 10Th amour
ted to about 1000 bales while yesterday they reached
only 1900 bales at decline. In the manufacturing
districts business wears the gloomest aspect every
week adding to the number of mills working short
time or closing entirely.
