ie Vrarisions Mark t:
In the Liverpool Provision Market daring the
past week the demand for Beef continued of quite
a retail character, and was met freely by holders.
There was at last a lull in the arrivals. The
Government contract is advertised for, the quan-
tity required being a little over last year's. There
was rather more tone in the market for Pork,
under the influence of the Government contract
advertisement, but as no American cure can be
taken the effect on this article was not direct.
Bacon 'was in fair retail request, and the stock
gradually reducing, but, as usual at, this late
period of the season, holders meet buyers freely.
Hams dull. Shoulders scarce. There was more
doing in Lard, and the sales for the week reach
150 tons, at steady prices. For Cheese there
was an excellent demand, at full prices for all
qualities. Fine Butter sold freely ; other sorts
were neglected.

No gold was taken to the Bank. The `City of Washing-
ton, from New York, has brought £86,000. the oiders
for grain transmitted to America and the' Continent
since Friday last, have been extraordinarily large.—
Times.

The Engl4h funds to-day were restrained from
improvement by the broken character of the weather,
and by the news that Garibaldi's force has at last crossed
over the mainland. Very little business was done, and
after experiencing scarcely the slightest variation
throughout the day, consols closed the same as yester-
day. The market for British railway stock was rather
firmer. Business in the discount market was quieter.
During the past week the general improvement in the
market for American state securities continued. There
has also been an increased speculative business in rail-
way shares, and prices advanced.—_Daily Arms.
