PROVISIONS.

LIVER POOL, Ana. 31.—The demand for beef has been confined
'to a few small parcels for immediate use, without change in
prices. The same remarks also apply to pork. Bacon has been
in good request, and, as the small stock left is now in one or two
hands, a slight advance is not unlikely. Lard is again 6d dearer,
and the bales reach over 150 tons. Fine cheese continues to move
freely. Grease butter sells at extreme rates; and thewstock is
all but exhausted.
SEPT. 3.—There was a fair inquiry for butter last week, and
business, to a moderate extent, was transacted at steady rates.
The dealers in genera; hold no stocks of "consequence, but refuse
to buy more than their immediate wants, expecting prices lower.
Holders, however, are firm at the quotations. Waterford, Dun.
