RICE : Of the rice offered by auction. very little was sold,
but 700 bags Bengal, by private, brought lOs per cwt.
PIMENTO : 80 bap have been taken at 4,1,1 per lb.
PROVISIONS : Beef continues in good demand at steady
prices, the sales of the week reaching 1,300 :.ierces. The
feeling gains ground that the lowest point has been touched
for the middling and good sorts. Owing to want of stock,
we have nothing to report in pork ; a small parcel or two
have arrived, but are not yet landed. From absolute
scarcity at the moment, a temporary advance has been
realitied on a small parcel of bacon ex steamer; we do not,
however, alter our quotations. There has only been a
moderate enquiry for lard during the week ; with mere
choice, there would be more doing. Cheese moves .off
quietly at late rates. Fine dairies continue scarce. In-
fluenced by the failure of a large_ speculator, the tallow
market is very unsettled, and our reduced quotations are
almost nominal. Linseed cake is a trifle lower this week,
the weather having become moist and open. The improve-
ment in the corn market noted in our last was checked on
Tuesday, and since then business passing has been limited,
with prices the turn lower for all articles. To-morrow
being Good Friday, there will be no further market this
week.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.—The great annual lamb market
was held here to-day, instead of Friday as heretofore. The
number of lambs on offer was small, and the demand for
them was brisk, at from 7s to 8s per 8 lbs. The show of
beasts was moderate, and amongst the supply were 200 oxen
from Oporto. The beet trade ruled heavy, and prices were
a shade lower than on Monday. Sheep were in short supply
and sluggish request, at barely stationary prices. The few
calves in the markets sold steady, at full quotations. In pigs
and milch cows scarcely any business was transacted. Beef,
from 33 4d to 4s 4(1; Mutton, 3s to 4s 101 ; Lamb, 7s 8d

to 83; Veal, 58 to 63 ; Pork, 3a 2.1 to 4s Bd—per 8 lbs, to
sink the offal. Total Supply : Beasts, 810 ; foreign, 310 ;
Cows, 90; Sheep, 6,900; Calves, 90; foreign, 22; Pigs,
200,
