(sales of beef for the week reach to about 1,800 tierces ; the
arrivals, however, are in excess of the sales, and, notwith-
standing the export demand, stocks are increasing. Pork
1 in the early part of the week ruled dull, there is now a
better inquiry, and holders, who are inclined to give way
2s 6d.to 5s per barrel on last week's quotations, have
recovered their firmness. There is an improved consump-
tive demand for American bacon, and holders have succeeded
in establishing a further advance of about is per cwt.
Lard is quiet, but firm ; the sales for the week reach nearly
50 tons. Cheese is in moderate request, without change in
value. The tallow market in the beginning of the week
was very slow, and slightly lower : it is now firmer. Lin-
seed cake sells in retail;at former prices. 1

LIVERPOOL WOOL TRADE.
The attention of the trade has been chiefly engaged. with
the public sales, which commenced in London on the sth
instant, and will last till the 31st. The quantity of fine
Colonial to be brought forward is 63,061 bales ; they are
going with fair spirit, although at a considerable decline
from the March-sale rates. Port Philip washed fleece is
lower on the average 3d per lb., Sydney 2d., and other
kinds 2d to 3d per lb. Capes about ld per lb., and unwashed
wools from -Id to ld per lb. Although there is a fair
number of foreign buyers present, they have purchased
sparingly, and for Germany scarcely anything has
been taken. After the close of the fine Colonial
the low wool sales will follow. ' Our public
sales of 11,548 bales East India, and 9,154 bales various
kinds of foreign, began on the 12th instant, and closed
this evening. It was very generally expected that 'East
India would suffer a considerable decline, but we- are happy
to say that this has not been, by any means, realised. In
consequence of the interval between the previous sales
having been longer than usual—the elections having ren-
dered it necessary to postpone the sales on two occasions '
many of the trade had become low in stock. There has
been a full average attendance of buyers throughont, but
the better qualities have not engaged the usual attention,
and on these we quote a decline lld npr ih •

very little business has taken place in Scotch wools, it
has been at about previous rates, and from the light stocks
we do not see any reason to expect lower prices. Sheen-

skins continue to meet with ready sale, and at within a
fraction of previous rates. HUGHES. & RONALD.
