PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. I.—The sales of beef for the week are, to
a fair extent, chiefly of the better class of last season's cure. on
which holders have submitted to a considerable decline to effect
a clearance. In pork these is scarcely a transaction. The stock
of old American is light, and there is not much new yet landed..
The dealers, anticipating peace, speak of very low prices for the
future. Bacon, owing to light supplies, goes off at last week's
rates; but a considerable decline must be looked for as arrivals
increase: Lard is dull and' drooping, and the natural dulness
of the market is increased by the arrival of several parcels which
prove to be adulterated to a considerable extent. The last price
made for genuine was 645. In cheese there is more activity, and
the sales of the week are reported at over 7,000 boxes.
FEB. 4.—There is no material change to notice of the butter
market, which continues inactive, and only a moderate business
was transacted last week. Good and middling kinds are still the
most enquired for,, at prices ranging from 94s to 102 s; the finest
qualities are held at 106 s to ICBs, which the retailers cannot afford
to give, and we reduce the quotations Is per cwt. Waterford, &c.,
favourite brands, 106 s to 108 s ; Kilkenny, Wexford, and Clonmel,
105 s to le•.'s ; Sligo and Limerick, 98s to 103 s per cwt. landed.
