PROVISIONS.—The sales of beef for the week are to a full
average extent, at steady prices. Great firmness is shown
by holders of the finer sorts, whilst ordinary descriptions
are less pressed. All the late arrivals of pork are cleared
off, at extreme rates. There is a good healthy demand for
bacon, and though a shade under lest week's prices has
been taken for parcels ex ship, the market can hardly be
called lower, and for so far deliveries nearly keep pace with
arrivals. For lard there is a brisk enquiry, and the sales
for the week reach nearly 300 tons, the bulk of the late
arrivals are of a quality that will not class " fine," hence
for such descriptions our extreme quotation is still attainable.
Want of assortment of cheese restricts business.
FRUIT: Currants—The market continues to show much
animation, and prices have an upward tendency, the ann.-
tained stocks in the United Kingdom being less than for
many years past, holders are demanding higher rates, and
an advance of 4s to 5s is established; fine quality fruit is
in demand for export. Raisins—Valencias continue to be
freely taken, and nearly the whole of tender quality have
been cleared off the market. Red Turkey in good demand,
only one small parcel offering. Sultanas : Large parcels
have changed hands at an advance of 2s to 3s per cwt ;
dealers are still anxious to buy, but importers are demand-
ing a further advance, in consequence of the reduced stock.
Figs—The few small parcels of Turkey remaining are held
for higher rates. Oranges—The supplies being unusually
large, prices remain without alteration. Lemons—The
stock is much diminished, higher rates are now being
obtained for sound parcels. Nuts : Barcelona—lmporters
having given way 6d per bag, has induced business, several
parcels having been taken at the reduction. A cargo of
Turkey lately arrived held for high rates. Brazils : High
prices check business, dealers being however bare of stock
take only small parcels to supply immediate wants.

CORN : With a fair arrival of wheat, and a continued
good supply of Indian corn, but much less flour, during the
last three days from abroad, the receipts coastwise and from
Ireland are still very small in amount ; the large imports
noted in the early part of the week, however, remaining
principally on hand, the trade here since Tuesday has exhi-
bited little or no change in the value of any article, but the
business has been generally of a dull and uninteresting cha-
racter ; the same may be said of most other markets of the
kingdom, whence reports have been received so far this
week. The season is as favourable as could be desired by
agriculturists, alternate showers and sunny weather, with a
gradually increasing temperature. Our market this morning
was but thinly attended by millers and dealers from any
direction ; the transactions in wheat are upon a limited
scale, with the turn of prices rather in favour of buyers for
even the best descriptions, and Id to 2d per bushel cheaper
for general runs, inferior descriptions being entirely
neglected. Flour must be quoted 6d per barrel, and Is per
sack cheaper, with very limited sales. Barley steady in
value. Beans, with difficulty, sustain their previous value.
Oats and oatmeal meet a slow sale, with scarcely any change
from Tuesday's rates. We have still but a limited quantity
of Indian corn on offer compared with the supplies at hand ;
the enquiry is, however, so limited that sellers are again
obliged to submit to a reduction of is per qr.—Arrivals from
