PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 16.—There is increased activity in the
market for beef, and the sales for the week reach nearly 2,000
tierces, at very full prices. 'the result of the government con-
tract is not yet known, but it is understood that the tenders sent
in are much more numerous than usual. Pork, for want of
assortment, has been sparingly dealt in ; advanced prices are
demanded by holders. In the Irish bacon market there is more
firmness this week. No American has yet arrived. Holders of
lard early in the week were free sellers, but they now hold for an
advance of Is to 2s, which checks business. The redaced rates
for English cheese, and the large arrivals of American, encourage
the dealers to make a stand for lower prices.
Nov. 19.—Butter continues in gool request, and prices have
further advanced is to 2s per cwt. since this day week. Stocks
are unusually small for the period of the season ; more than one-
third of the import consists of pickled from Cork for exportation,
and seconds sell at 102 s on arrival. The market is firm at the
improvement, with a tendency for still higher rates. Waterford
and Dungarvan, 106 s to 1098; Kilkenny, Carrick, Wexford, Clon-
mel, and Carlow, 104 s to 1088; Limerick, 98s to 101 s; and Sligo,
968 to 104 s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland from the
10th to the 16th instant, both inclusive, 11,837 firkins, 210 kegs,
753 crocks, 447 boxes, and 40 barrels butter, 194 bales bacon, 11
