LIVERPOOL, Nov. 2.—There is a slightly firmer feeling
towards beef, and, though the sales for the week scarely reach the
average extent, there is a growing opinion that the stock now on
band will be all required before new arrives freely. For pork
there it a fair inquiry, and advanced prices are made for all
qualities. Unusual anxiety is felt as to the result of the govern-
ment contract to be taken on the 12th instant. Irish and home-
cured bacon are a shade lower, and the supplies increase. The
early shipments of American will, however, meet a ready sale.
At about last week's prices there is a moderate demand for lard.
Tlie market for cheese is rather inanimate, but more activity is
looked for shortly.
Nov. s.—There was a fair average business transacted in butter
last week, and owing to the small stock, moderate imports, and
the stiff prices paying currently in all the Irish markets. a slight
advance was obtained (in retail) for choice qualities, and :good
useful sorts commanded very full rates. Waterford and Dun.
