PROrISION MIRKETS.

LIVERPOOL, Eau. 3.—The transactions in beef during
the week have been only to a limited extent : the high prices
at which new is held.are paid most reluctantly by the dealers,
who content themselves with retail purchases to supply their
present wants. Theanarket for pork is very firm, and prices
have an upward tendency:, •the Irish curers, since the declara-
tion of the late " contract," demand a considerable advance.
tFor bacon there is an .inereasingcountry demand, and at
,present rates there is .every prospect of a good consumption.
-6houlders are in improved demand. .Hams are wanted. Lard
is tow in stock, and 58a,bas been •paid ; to arrive 56s is the
nearest quotation. The stock of cheese .becomes much
,reduced, and extreme rates are paid for fine descriptions.
sin. 6.—The butter market was quiet all last week, and
.the :transactions quite on a limited scale, the dealers only
purchasing to meet their necessitous :requirements. Choice
,qualities, which are scarce, .are unchanged in value, but
middling kinds may be quoted Is to 2s lower. •Vhe stocks
held both here and in Manchester are considered.small, and
all will .be wanted at the present .or perhaps higher rates.
