PROVISION TRADE.

The Irish butter trade has been very much depressed
during the week, and even at a reduction on most kinds of
fully 2s. per cwt. it was difficult to 'Ent sales, the cheese-
mongers refraining from purchasing more than for their
immediate requirements, expecting from the increasing
accumulation of stock at the wharves, that prices will soon
further decline. The delivery to last night waslbat 3,500,and
the arrivals 7,000 firkins. For the finest description of
foreign butter there has been an improved demand, at
rather better prices. The bacon market has been languid,
and importers pressing sales, which could only be made on
a limited scale at a reduction of 2s. per cwt. on the best
fresh mild cured Waterford bacon, other descriptions pro-
portionally cheaper. Little or: nothing doing for shipment.
Dale and tierce middles without change. Lard steady.
Ham slow sale. Very little doing in beef and pork. The
East India Company have issued their usual requisition for
250 tierces beef and 250 tierces pork, to be delivered by the
31st January next.

SUGAR.—Tbe average price of sugar, the produce of
the British possessions in America, eomputed from the re-
turns made in the week ending the Ist November, 1864,
is 235. 9d. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 225. Bd.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indite, 235. llid.
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of sugar,
jointly, is 236. eltd. per cwt.

BRISTOL, Nov. 4.
Stoma—The market continues depressed, and the trans-
actions of the week are quite of a retail character, at rather
lower prices. The refined market is also dull, and the
grocers are enabled to purchase on better terms.
For Rum the demand has quite subsided.

METALS. Mr. Moats', circular states that'
Rails maintain their position. Scotch pig iron having
touched 78s. has receded to 75e., at which there are strong
buyers. Spelter.—A considerable business has been done
for winter delivery at 221. per ton ; the present price on the
spot is 211. 51. to 211. 10s. ; the stock is 11,210 tons in
London, with a small stock at Hamburgh. Bence tin is
quiet,—the unprofitable position of the tin plate trade
having a tendency to check the demand for tin, as the tin
plates manufacturers are curtailing their make to a large
silent; according to the returns of the Dutch Trading
Society, the stocks and deliveries of Bence tin at Amster-
dam, Rotterdam, tite., for the last month (October) are as
follows, via.:—Deliveries, old warrants, 1,000 dabs; of the
last sale, 8,034 slabs; total, 9,031 slabs. Stocks, old war-
rants, 4,094 slabs ; of the last sale, 64,189 slab, ; total,
68,283 slab.. Deliveries during the last three months,
75,398 slats. Stock of fresh supplies for the following
sale, 16,460 slabs against 14,137 slabs in 1852. Tin plates
are dull of sale. Copper continues in good request.
Swedish iron quiet. Swedish steel is more inquired after.
Lead—No change.

COTTON.—LtekaPoox, Nov. 4.—There is no increasing
animation or activity in our cottoa raarket, but, on the
contrary, continued lingering and dulness, the business
being very much confined to the supply of he daily wants
of costumers. There is, however, but very little actual de-
cline in prices, the middling and better qualities of
American being without change in any respect, and pretty
steady at the quotations, while the low and ordinary are
not only dull of sale bet have given way nearly 4d. per lb.
in price. Brazils and Surate are unchanged. Egyptians
heavy, and difficult to sell, the common qualities being
pressed upon the market is all quarters. The principal
cause of this depression we consider to be the " turnouts," I
sad the unhappy differences which have grown up between
masters and men. For the moment this subject seems to be
overlaying every other; even the important considerations)
connected with politics and the money market seem to be
comparatively forgotten. A settlement of the differences
to which we allude, on a footing satisfactory to both parties,
would, at lent for a time, place our market in an easy posi-
tion; but, lacking that adjustment, we ca hardly be said
to have a firm and safe hold even of our present currency.
The committee of brokers place Fair Uplands at sp.
Mobile 64d., and Orleans at 614. 1,940 American, 1,386
Surat, and 430 Egyptian are reported to have been taken
on speculatioa ; and 1,410 American, 2,430 Surat, and 180
Bengal for export. Sales for the week, 32,880 bales.
