LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 8.

Dry Butters may be correctly quoted 2s to 3s per cwt. lower
since our last. Of pickled Butter there is no overstock, and the
price is comparatively steady. Beef and Pork have become very
dull, and the price of both is tumbling; some good old Beef being
now to be had at 105 s, and Pork at 758. We recomthend our out-
ward bound friends to confine themselves to prime old provisions
for a few weeks to come ;—there will be considerable risk in the
cure of what has recently been put up. Bacon has become steadier,
and may yet rally a little in price.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OcT. 6.
The imports of British Grain, Flour and Oatmeal are still very
light ; of Foreign produce the arrivals consist of 7500 qrs. of Wheat
and 1800 barrels of Flour, in time for admission at the duty of
10s 81 per quarter. There was a very limited business in Wheat
on Tuesday. at scarcely the rates quoted last week; Baltic red
was sold at Os Gd to 10s, and Danzig at lOs to lOs 6d per 70Ibs. The
trade remained dull until yesterday, when a better feeling appeared
generally, and a tolerably fair amount of business was transacted
in foreign Wheat at full prices. New Grain yet comes forward
very slowly : a few small lots of Irish Wheat, quality middling,
have been sold at 6s 6d to 9s ; a little good brought 9s 6d per 701 b.
The small parcels of Oats that have appeared have gone off as they
arrived, at 3s 4d for fine kiln-dried down to 3s Id per 451 b. for un-
dried. Old are worth 3s Id to 3s Id per 451 b. Flouriiind Oatmeal
have latterly met a limited demand, bnt, with short supplies, prices
have been maintained; 275 to 27s 6,1 are the general quotations
for old Oatmeal ; 29s to 29s 6d per 2401b5. for new ; and from 50s
to 56s per 2801bs. for Irish Flour. A small parcel of Devonshire
new Barley, quality middling, has been sold at 365, per imperial
quarter; and a little lot of pretty good Irish at 4s Gd per 601bs. No
alterction as regards Beans and Pease. The duty on Foreign
Wheat is now 165,8 d per quarter.
