LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET.—MARCH 11.
For beef there is a moderately active consumptive demand,
at full prices for fine qualities, but at a slight reduction on
ordinary descriptions, a large-proportioti of the late arrivals
consisting of ordinary and inferior quality. American
pork is neglected, and though prices are nominally unaltered,
buyers of quantity could probably obtain a small concession.
if he falling off in the receipts of American bacon, as com-
pared with last year, have scarcely any effect on the value
of this article generally, as there is abundance of Irish and
home-cured, for which moderate prices continue to be taken.
There is no improvement in the, demand forlard ; the sales
for the week are of a very retail character. The demand
for cheese is less active, but prices are unchanged. There
is a fair inquiry for tallow, at about last week's prices.
Linseed cake in moderate request.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-MARCH 11.

The more pacific appearance of politics on the Continent,
and a slight decrease, as compared with a corresponding
period last year, in the excess of receipts, have imparted
renewed strength to our cotton market, which throughout
the past week has displayed great activity, all parties par-
ticipating in the demand, and holders evincing considerable
firmness, have obtained an advantage of -}d to 3-16 d per
lb. on American descriptions. Brazil in good demand, and
ld to id per lb higher. Egyptian rather dearer in the
lower grades. Surat in limited supply, and very firm.
The weekly sales are 71,240 bales, of which 16,380 are
on speculation, and 7,630 for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARkET.—MARCH 11.
Our Corn Exchange this morning brought a very
moderate attendance of buyers. The wheat trade slow,
but prices unchanged : the only new feature is the pur-
chase of 1,000 quarters of French wheat, now in this
port, for transhipment to Philadelphia, and more expected
to go. As regards all other articles there is scarcely any
variation in value to record, but the business altogether the
reverse of lively. Buyers of Egyptian beans had to pay a
small advance. American oaty red wheat, 5s 5d to 6s;
