LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 13.
There has again been considerable activity in the demand
for Beef, and some parcels of old have been taken by the trade
and by speculators at an advance of 3s. to ss. per tierce. New
is much wanted, and the advice of the loss of several ship-
ments of western imparts additional firmness to the market.
Advanced prices have been made for Pork, but there is no
Amerimn here. Bacon is in moderate request, at tolerably
steady rates. Shoulders sell more freely, at an advance of Is.
to 2s. per cwt. Lard has been inactive, refiners looking for a
reduction beyond what holders will submit to. Cheese moves
slowly, at about former prices. Butter has been dull, at last
week's decline.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 13.—1 n the British and Irish markets
this week there seems to be generally a relaxation in the de-
mand for, and an absence of further advance in the prices of,
Wheat and most other articles of the corn trade, owing pro-
bably to the trade being still moderately well supplied by
native growers, who, in consequence of the long interruption to
the cultivation of the land by continuous heavy rains, have
been enabled to bring their Grain more freely out for sale than
they otherwise would have done. It therefore becomes a ques-
tion, whether, when they are more fully occupied in the fields,
a decrease of deliveries may not assist an improvement of
prices. The present scanty importations of foreign produce,
and the certainty of remaining unrelieved by any heavy sup-
plies from abroad for several months to come, would in former
years doubtless have led to such a result ; yet from the exist-
ing state of the general commerce of the country, and the
cautious feelings pervading all classes of buyers, no sanguine
opinions are expressed in favour of greatly enhanced rates,
although somewhat higher values are generally anticipated.
We continue to receive very little produce coastwise and from
Ireland, and have been entirely deprived of any fresh arrivals
of Foreign Grain since our last report ; 282 sacks of French
Flour comprising the only import from abroad. The transac-
tions here during the interval from Tuesday to this date have
been few in number, and those chiefly in Wheat and Flour, at
prices barely equal to our previous quotations. Influenced by
the unimproved state of other English markets, and having a
very limited attendance of home and country millers at our
Corn• Exchange to-day, there was evidently a disposition on the
part of both to remain inactive, and sales of either English or
Foreign Wheats, even to a retail amount, could not be effected
without conceding a slight abatement from our last currency.
Flour also was in slow request this morning, but holders
were firm, and American, including French and Irish, main-
tained the annexed quotations, with a tendency rather to im-
prove in value. Barley and Malt, being in fair demand, fully
supported late prices; Beans and Pease moving less freely on
the terms last noted. Oats, meeting little inquiry, merely sus-
tained Tuesday's rates, and Oatmeal was the turn cheaper.
Indian Corn on the spot, commanding more attention, ad-
vanced 6d. per qr., although a few fioating•cargoes, in second
hands, had been sold within the week 6d. under the rates pre-
viously required.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 14.—Indisposition on the part of
buyers to purchase more of any article than suffices for the
supply of present wants is met without any degree of pressure
upon that of sellers, and, with a quiet trade ring the week,
we note no variation in prices. Our market to-day also may
be similarly described, and, with a moderate business in each
article, we note no alteration from the rates of this day week.
PRESTON, FEB. 14.—Though our imports continue on a
limited scale, the corn trade throughout the week has remained

inactive, and on Flour and a

is better. In the absence of speculation the trade has become
dull, but only in a few cases does the buyer get the advantage
in prices. No alteration in Beans and Oats.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FEB. 14.—The weather this
week has ruled very changeable, and the condition of all new
grain is very materially affected in consequence. At our mar.
ket to-day there was rather a liberal supply of Wheat from the
farmers, for which, however, there was a g

From the coast the arrivals are also to a fair extent, with
small cargo or two from the Danish Islands. The transaction
in English or Foreign Wheat were to a moderate amount only
and no

lough the arrivals of Malting Barley are trifling, the sales
made to-day were unimportant, and prices have a downward
tendency. The quantity of Oats up this week from Scotland is
unusually large, besides a good show to-day from the country ;
the demand, however, has ruled active, and nearly the whole
have been sold, ex ship, at the extreme rates of last Saturday.
Beans and Pease sell in retail quantities, without change in
value. Flour sold quite as well as of late.

DUBLIN, FEB. 13.—We continue to have a small supply of
farmers' Wheat, with scarcely any of prime quality, and we
make a reduction of 6d. per barrel in our extreme quotations
of Tuesday. Superior Samples of Barley and Oats main-
tained their prices, but other descriptions met a dull sale, and
lower rates were submitted to. Very little doing in Foreign
Wheat, and Indian Corn dull without change in price.
CORK, FEB. 14.—The market ruled flat throughout the
week, buyers of Flour and Wheat operating with great reserve,
and only supplying present wants. Indian Corn, in the ab-
sence of speculation, is in small request, with prices the turn
against sellers.
