PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, A. 21.—The transactions in beef this week are
unimportant, the trade buying only to supply present wants;
prices are, however, well maintained. In pork a fair extent of
business is reported, and the stock is in a narrow compass.
Bacon bas sold more freely at full prices, and it is now evident
that in a few, weeks the market will be quite clear. Lard is again
6d per cwt—dearer, and the sales for the week reach. nearly 200
tons. Fine cheese sells readily. There is more inquiry for grease
butter. In tallow there is a moderate active business at steady
prices. - - ••

to the demand, which continues only limited ; really choice
qualities -being still scarce command our top quotations, which is
