PROVISIONS,

LIVERPOOL, 11Lkactr .17.—The deinnnd for beef this
week has been steady at full prices, and holders become
.more,confident of higher rates, seeing that the imports,
'as compared with fast year, fall off daily, the deficiency
to this date being now over 8,500 tierces. For pork there
is more inquiry, old American ha particular having at-
tracted attention, and the sales for the week of all descrip-
tions reach about 1,400 barrels. Bacon is only a slow
sale; the dealers, anticipating reduced prices as the
Arrivals now on the way come forward, buy sparingly.
Lard is quiet, with prices rather in favour of buyers : the
sales for the week are on a very limited scale. For cheese
there is a moderate demand, and the stock becomes much
reduced.

1114acn 20.—There was a fair amount of business
transacted during thtr early part of last week, and the
market was completely cleared of all the finest qualities,
at 102 s to 105 s ; good second-rate descriptions from 96s
to 100 s, were also in good request ; but stale and inferior
kinds, although offering at tempting prices, were diffi-
cult to sell : very little was done at the close of the week.

Carlow, and Wexford, 100 s to 102 s ' • Belfast, 98s to 100 s;
