Corn Markct.-Our market has been firm since
last report. On the 4th the business IN neat was
TO a far extent but without any advance on FRIDAY 5
currency for any description. There were not many
good Oats offered, and they were only taken Ill re-
tail quantities at the late rates. There was an ac-
tive business in Indian Corn for Ireland whTre StocNs

ar. over Fridays rates; Corn Meal was Sd 10 ou

ccs for British and the new ~ arrived Canadian,
which is pretty well liked, brought Us. 10 Us per
brl. Oatmeal neglected. yellow Indian Corn was
trilc dcarcr, 33S. I'd. per $50 lbs being pald ior
round Jersey, but white Corn was not any better
than on the 4th. Indian Meal was in good demand
and l3s. Cd. per 1876 lbs readily made oil inc oe't
yellow.
The state of the weather being now the particular
barometer by which the Grain trade is regulated,
our Corn markets have had rather tluctuatIng ten
dcncy during the past week Inc rams OF last week
caused prices to improve, but on the weather clear
ing up, and genial rays of sunshine replacing that
which was damp and cold, holders were less firm.

tinue limited at former terms, farther large sup
plies have come hand from the Irish curcrs at
Baltimore and Phladcl pha, the quality of which IS
inferior, and is consequently offered at low prices.
Bale and tiercc mIddleS move off slowly but steadily
at former prices viz: mddleS of Pork 3OS TO sos,
and Bacon middcs Sos to sos for Eastern to West
crn according TO quality. The stock OF Beef is small
and prices are well maintained. a small parcel OF
Cheese is just at hand which will meet with ready
sale at former prices. Some large supplies of Lard
have arrived The demand is dull, bat prices are
supported we quote kegs Hos to Dos, and brs i0''
to los. per cwt. The imports OF cured Provisions
into Liverpool during the past week comprise -

4Ol bXs of Bacon, 90 cskS and box OF Hams, -
bxs of Cheese, 542 tres 1903 brls and 526 kegs Of
Lard. The supplies OF American Beet are compare
lively small, and the better qualities find ready buy
crs at S3s to SIS cd. per tire. a considerable bust
ness is doing in American Bacon; and although the
imports lately have bccn 10 a good extent, as the

FTeights.-Thc dullness noticed in our last re-
port still prevails in the Freight market, though
the most of the late arrivals OF shipping are disposed
of and it must be confessed that rates have not yet
reached low point as is usual at this season.
CargocS of iron have been fixed during the week at
Dos. to DDS cd per from the British Channel, the
former rate being however, generally refused, en-
ccpt for large ships. Passengers remain without
Improvement, and the United States law, winch
takes effect here the 18th inst imposing farther
restrictions and expenses upon the ships, many Cap
tans decline taking them altogether. For fer
