CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 21.—We had a smaller supply of cattle at
this day's market, with a fair attendance of buyers. The demand
ruled pretty active, and fully last week's prices were realized.
There has been a good supply of sheep, and trade ruled very dull
at barely previous currencies, with some left unsold. Good beef,
6d to 60 ; mutton, 6d to 7d per lb. Number of ibeasts, 2,200 ;
sheep, 10,000.
SA LFORD, JAN. 16.—Trade was brisk at former rates. A good
clearance made. Best beef, 60 to bid; middling, 50 to ;
cows, 4d to 50 ; best wedders, 60 to 7d ; heavy weights, 6d to
; ewes, 40 to 5i ; calves, 5d to 7d. Number of beasts, 1,450 ;
sheep, 6,035 ; calves, 113.
DUBLIN,- JAN. 17.—The supply today was generally good.
Prime sold well at 58s to 60s, and in some instances 63s per cwt.
for beef. Inferior dull, at from 45s per cwt. upwards, according
to quality. Mutton, 5d to 7d per lb. ; strictly no change in value.
Veal, 7d per lb in sink. Pigs aenerally small in demand, and for
heavy 2s per cwt. advance ; currency, 45s to 468 a 50s. per cwt. on
foot.

PROVISIONS.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 18.—There was a steady retail business in
beef in the early part of the week, but the peace news yesterday
put a stop to transactions. Parties of experience in the trade are
of opinion that, as the season for packing beef is about over, and
the quantity packed short of last year, prices, even with peace,
are not likely to recede much farther this season. Pork is also at
a stand, and in this article there is less confidence than with beef,
as the packing season la,•ts longer. Bacon, though at present
scarce, will also feel the effect of the prospect of peace. Lard,
until yesterday, sold steadily, at 67s 6d to 68s 6d. There are now
no buyers, even at a reduction. Fine cheese sells at full prices ;
secondary sorts move very slowly.
JAN. 21.—During the latter part of last week there was a good
consumptive demand for butter, at rates slightly in favor of the
buyer. Good second-rate descriptions still continue in favor at
92s to 102 s. The stock here is small ; really fine qualities are
scarce, and held at full prices, so that no change can be made in
quotations. Waterford best brands, 107 s to 109 s; Kilkenny,
Wexford, and Clonmel, 1068 to 1073; Sligo and Limerick, 98s to
104 s per cwt. lauded. Imported from Ireland from the 12th to
the 18th January, inclusive, 8,501 firkins, 106 kegs, 443 crocks,
313 boxes, and 49 barrels butter; 105 bales bacon; 3 hogsheads
and 39 tierces hams; 53 tierces and 70 kegs lard.
