The Corn Market is, OF course, sensibly in.
huenced by the unparalleled strngency Of the
Money market, and shows general decline
particularly in quotations for inferior parcels
Indian Corn has deprecated from 2 10 80. q
quarter, and Meal has also receded 10 value
and is in very limited demand. The above
quotations represent the maximum price, bu
occasional forced sales have been made con
sideraby under these figures.
In LONDON, Yesterday, there was an exten
eve supply OF foreign Wheat, but trade was
dull, and American receded from to rs. Sd

in sales.
p. So o'cloek-The markets up to this
moment are losing ground. Flour canno, be
quoted beyond 26s. per bbl, and Indian Corn

also largely participates in the general vlcissi-
'udes Of trade, and shows gradual deteriora-
ton since our last Telegraphic advices. The
quantity OF Cotton pressing upon the market
greatly exceeds the demand. producing sacri-
fees on the part oisellers who have been com
PEELED TO submit TO prices considerably under
our quotations for the sake Of obtaining the
cash. The sales for the week ending the 9Th
amounted to II 700 bales, of which 5000 bales
were on speculation, and 1900 bales for ex
port. The transactions of the 18th amounted
TO about 1000 bales, while yesterday they
reached only 1900 bales al a decline. In the
manufacturing districts business wears the
gloomlest aspect, every week adding 10 the

MONEY MATTERs.--The disastrous moneta-
ny pressure recorded in our last advices has.
during the last fortnight, continued 70 rage
win unabaied severity, involving several ad-
ditlona failures and diii'using deep and im.
penetrabe gloom throughout the whole com
merclal community Of Great Britain. To such
q point Of intensity has the inaceessibility OF
money now arrived that there is scarcely one
house which can be looked upon without sus-
plcion, no matter how exalted its position.
We may avoid further enumeration BY stating
that altogether FIFTY FIVE houses have either
broken down or suspended since the departure
OF the last steamer. Yesterday il was an
nounced that the Royal Bank Of Liverpool
had been compelled TO suspend payment The
Money Market continues in the most stringent
condition, but the London papers Of last night
indulge strong hopes Of a partal restoration Of
ease, owing TO the circumstance of very heavy
payment on the Consols having Just been
made. The sales Of Consols commenced al
