PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 21.—There is rather more doing in beef
and on medium qualities a concession of about 2s 6d per tierce
has been submitted to ; the light stock, however, imparts confi-
dence to holders. In the absence of assortment of American
pork, the dealers supply thomselves with Irish ; for such rather
advancing rates are asked. Irish bacon is a little firmer, which will
be in favour of early arrivals of new American. Small sales of
lard are reported at full prices, and there is now no stock left in
first hands. The cheese market is very flat ; fine qualities, how-
ever, are less difficult to sell than ordinary descriptions.

AT a recent meeting of the tenantry of Mr. George Lane
Fox, of Bramham•park, Yorkshire, it was unanimously
resolved to offer that gentleman an increase of 10 per cent. on
the rents of his tenants, in consideration of the reduction of
10 per cent. they received .from him during the last period of
agricultural depression. Mr. Fox, in a letter, has declined to
take advantage of his tenants' liberality, urging them to
improve their farms. As a mark of their gratitude, the
tenants have determined to have their landlord's portrait
painted, with the intention of presenting.it to Mrs. Fox.
