LIVERPOOL" PROVISION MARKET. APRIL 23.
A small quantity of new Grass Butter has been imported since our
last, which has met a ready isle at 105 s ; and, we believe, the next
arrival of respectable brands will command the same price. A continu-
ance of the genial weather which we experience to-day will cause an
abundant make. Old Butter, (except it be a prime fresh lot,) a com-
plete drug.—The demand for Beef and Pork by retail, for ship stores,
is very fair.—The Bacon market is brisk and prices looking up. Long
middles free from bone very saleable at 50s ; square middles 525.

Since this day week we have had good supplies of Irish Flour and
Oatmeal, but of Grain the imports have been light. Though we can-
not note any thing like an active business, there has been more firm-
ness, in the trade generally, and, at yesterday's market, full prices
were demanded for most articles ; 8s 10t1 per i'lbs was refused for line
Irish red Wheat, and good mealing Oats were held at 3s Id to 3s 2cirper
451bs —During the week several hundred loads of Oatmeal changed
hands at 25s 9d per 2401bs —Not much passing in Flour.---The market
has been bare of malting Barley, which has continued to command the
prices of last week ; and grindlhg,parcels have been rather more in-
quired for than of late.—Beans and Peas without variation.--No tran-
sactions reported in the Bonded market.
