LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET

258732 i 391260

FEB. 20

At the late advance on old beef the market is very steady,
but buyers having recently bought freely there has been less
business this week. New much wanted. Pork is in active
request, at full prices. There is rather more inquiry for bacon,
but the pi ice of American being so near that of the home cure
it is difficult to obtain any advance on late rates. For shoulders
there is a moderate sale, hut hams continue neglected. For
lard there has been an ,ncreased demand, and toe sales reach
70 tons, generally at an advance of is. per cwt., leaving the
stock very low. In cheese there has been rather more doing,
at steady prices. Butter sells slowly, but with frosty weather
may improve a little.

MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 20.—Boisterous gales, with less rain
than heretofore. prevailed in the early part of the week, since
which the weather has been extremely cold but dry, ai.d last
night we had a keen frost, all in favour of bringing the land
into good order for spring culture. The British n arkets, held
in comae of the week, are still reported to have been well sup-
plied with Wheat, Barley, and Oats direct from the growers,
who continuing to show a willingness to sell, each of these
articles is again stated to be in most cases rather lower in
value ; the trade in other respects exhibiting little or no im-
provement. In Ireland the deliveries of native produce are
said to be extremely small, with light stocks remaining in the
hands of farmers ; which, with limited importations recently
from abroad, and previous accumulations in granary decreas-
ing weekly, further supplies of foreign to a considerable extent
will be indispensable until next harvest ; in most of the lead-
ing markets there, how.:ver, buyers appear to act cautiously,
and consequently so far during the week little change, and
nothing of an interesting character seems to have occurred.
Although since last market all departments of the trade with
us have been very inanimate, there was no evidence on the
part of holders to press sales on lower terms, and up to this
date, therefore, prices generally remained in nearly the same
position as last noted. Our supplies of Grain and Oatmeal,
coastwise and from Ireland, since Morday last are moderate,
and of Flour trivial ; those from abroad, composing merely
2453 qrs. of Wheat, 1100 barrels and 3590 sacks of Flour from
the United States and France, with 1030 qrs. of Egyptian
Beans. Upon a very slender attendance of buyers at our Corn
Exchange to-day, with a continued suspension of demand for
investment, and little for consumption, we have to note an ex-
tremely dull sale for all descriptions of Wheat, whether Eng-
lish orForeign ; holders nevertheless adhered rather firmly to
the reduced rates of Tuesday, which, though barely obtainable,
appeared to remain nominally unvaried. States and Canadian
Flour, with a temporary lull in the trade, was 3d. per barrel
cheaper, French and Irish being proportionately depressed in
value. Malting Barley and Malt receded is. per qr. each ;
Grinding Barley remaining steady at late prices. Beans and
Peas in slow request on the terms last noted. Oats and Oat-
meal, upon a limited inquiry, scarcely maintained their pre-
vious value. Indian Corn in granary and in the course of
landing, was in tolerable request at our quotations, and several
cargoes now at calling ports have changed hands.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 21.—We have had a dull trade during
the week without any decided variation in prices. Liverpool
and Wakefield steady yesterday, but without active business in
any article. The same is the case at our market to-day. Though
some slight concession might be made in certain qualities of
Wheat and Flour, the disposition to do this is not sufficiently
general to render any alteration necessary in our late prices.
Other articles steady. .

MANCIIESTER.—We have to report an increased disposition
for business during the past week. Greater confidence in prices
has led to an active inquiry in various departments; and the
aggregate of the operations has been really large in proportion
to. the limited extent of the available supply. The buying of
yarns has been both for shipment and home consumption—
much more largely, however, for the former than the latter.
An advance of *d. to id. per lb. upon previous rates has been
realised for such counts and sorts as are most in demand, and
the rest have hardened in price. The more general causes of
improvement have been aided by the Eastern advices, which
show a still favourable state of trade at Bombay and Shanghae,
with cymptnms of probable amendment at 0,1,,,,tta. These anxiety on the part of the holders to press sales. Our supplies
accounts have given rise to very considerable transactions in from the farmers in this district continue small, and at our
suitable descriptions of cloth and twist. Shirtings and some Corn Exchange today Wheat met a free sale at full prices.
other fabrics are consequently dearer than they were; as are No Irish offering. Foreign Id. per bushel lower. Flour a
also 40's and 50's twist. Such, indeed, is the demand for 40's, languid sale. Beans scarce and in request at extreme rates.
from different quarters, that it has become extremely scarce, Oats being less sought after, declined id. per bushel, and
