Paovistoms.—The enquiry for beef this week has f lien off, 0.?„
the sales are considerably below the average extent. Prices retain"'
as last quoted. A sale of 1,0.0 barrels of k for hood nis the
chief feature in the market. In a general aay the aettiand is inae'
five, at previous rates. The market for bacon shows no symptoms
of improvement, and there being rather more des re to sell, price._
have given way is per cwt; this, It is hoped, may improve tbe
demand. Hams are a slow sale, but shout 'era sell more readilY•
The demand for lard is much restricted by the late advanced Price!:
and the sales of the week are unusually small. Good and
cheese sell reattily; other sorts mo t difficult to move. Greases
butter iv still in dett.and, and supply inadequate to the wants. Thd
tallow market is very steady. There is a revived en4uiry for linsee
cake.
FRUlTS.—Currants—The transactions r f the week have been (Jolte.
of a retail character, and almost eatirely corated to small parceiiii.'
export, which, with-small sales made for lime consumption. 1.32/'
been at a reduction of 6s to 88 per cwt. This slate of the market is to
attributed partly to the usual dullness at this period of the year, an
also to the continued favourable accounts of the new crop. Our I.teo
advices which are to the 2nd inst., from ali the currant growing d's:
tricts. state that some rain had faLeu, but the damage done to ti'"
fruit was euly trifling. Cutting had commenced generally and bit
appearance of the craps was everywhere most promising, and wi'a
every pt ospect of the yielo being quite equal to the estimate forrne",
some time since, say about 55 to 60 milions lbs. liaisios—M rg`
bare of all descriptions. Lemons—Prices advanced most considers'
biy at last sale, notwithstanding the supply was largo. Listal
realised 67s 6.1 to 82s per half-chest. Severil parcels of Lisb m a,
Sicily have arrived, and will be offered on Monday. Apples—Supplie:,
continue to arrive from Oporto, which are freely tat, 0 at 12s to Ig.
ser box Nuts—Barcelona: The unfavourable accounts of the er
uing crop, which Is stated to have sustained much injury from 11
extreme heat, have made holders much less iitclined to sell,
several offers at our last quotation, 365, have been refused, Is to
per bag advance being now asked. The stock is getting graduall
reduced to a small compass. '1 he chief quantity in the United lOW
dom is helti at this port. Brazils move very slowly.
