LIVERPOOL, Dec. 3.-We beg to call attention to the
resolutions adopted at meeting of the Corn Trade
At general meeting of Corn Trade held in Liver
pool to consider the prOpriey Of adopting uniform
weight OF 100 lbs for the sale of all descriptions of Grain
Four and Meal and to make arrangements for CARRYING
the same into effect, the following resolutions were
passed
First That this meeting is of opinion that the exist
ing variety in the weights and measures used for the
sale of grain flour and meal in this and other markets
through out the Kingdom forms a serious obstruction to
business and IS wholly inconsistent with the spirit of the
times
Second. That the proposal of the Association of the
Liverpool Cora Trade, for the substitution OF uniform
weight of 100 lbs. is approved of by this meeting
Third That this meeting do therefore recommend
to the trade i'll Liverpool and elsewhere throughout the
Kingdom that, from and after the first day of February
next the weight Of 100 lbs avordupois be adopted and
used in all sales of grain, flour and meal.
Fourth That the weight be termed for the sake of
distinction the "cental

large supply OF Wheat Flour, and Indian Corn, which
