PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, . SEPT. 28. The transactions in beef for the
week are to a large extent, at steady prices ; the stock is con-
siderably reduced, and the lower qualities have become scarce.
For pork there is a steady demand, and advanced prices have been
made, with-sales to a fair extent. Very high 'prices continue to
be made for bacon by the dealers, and there is but little now left.
The stock of lard in first hands is quite exhausted ; an advance of
3s to 5s per cwt. has been made, with sales reaching to about 150
tons. Pine cheese is, in fnirrequest, but ordinary qualities are
difficult to sell.

OCT. I.—The transactions in butter last week were to a fair
extent, at very full prices, and generally an advance of is per cwt.
was obtained. Choice southern brands were sold at tots to 7038,
and good useful second class sorts at 96s to 99s per cwt. landed.
The import is large, particularly from Cork, but the rates current
in all the Irish markets caused holders to show great firmness at
the quotations. Waterford and Dungarvan, 99s to 103 s; Kilkenny,
Carlow, Carrick, Wexford, and Clonmel, 995 to 101 s; Limerick,
95s to 98s; and Sligo, 95s to 995 per cwt. landed. Imported from
