LIVERPOOL PROVISION

MARKET, FEB. 25

Already has the country began to feel the vegetative influence of
the genial weather we now enjoy, and already have its effects been
apparent in our Butter market, by a reduction in price of 3s to 45
per cwt. We think there would be much difficulty in moving any
quantity even of the finest description of Butter at loss. The
low qualities are unsaleabie. Prime Beef and Pork in fair request.
Other kinds not asked for. Bacon goes off with a little more
freedom, 50s being the currency.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 23.
• (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott .5- Son.)
Since Tuesday last the winds have admitted arrivals from the
Southward to a fair extent, of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, from
Ireland and Coastways, and of Flour from the United States, as
will he observed by the Import note below ; the demand hAs been
very steady here to a moderate extent for Wheat at an advance of
about 2d per 701 b, and for Flour at fully our last quotations; Oats
and Oatmeal find sales readily as they arrive at the highest prices
last quoted, and for fine mealing qualities in some instances at an
increase of Id per 451 b for the foriner, and of 6d per 2401 b for the
latter ; Malt, Barley for malting and grinding, Beans, Pease and
Indian Cern, have fully supported their recent quotations, here and
in Manchester on Saturday last.
There was no alteration in the duties of Grain from Foreign
ports on Friday last ; a very active demand has occurred for Flour
in bond on speculation, and some for export, thus many thousand
barrels have changed hands during the past week, at first at 24s 6d,
then at 25s per barrel in bond in warehouses, and latterly some
parcels on the passage have been sold at 25s 6d, and some for ex-
port at 265, which is now steadily demanded, and some holders
and importers are unwilling to offer for sale at present, Wheat in
bond is also in more demand at about prices quoted.
The advance on Wheat in the London Market of the past week
has had its influence here, and although this was not quite to the
extent anticipated yesterday in Mark Lane, at this Day's Market a
further advance was demanded, but submitted to by the millers
and dealers only to a very moderate extent of about 3d per 701 b on
Wheat, (and some very fine white Danzic reached us per 701b0
Id per 451 d on Oats, Is per barrel, and per sack on Flour, is per
2401 b on Oatmeal, above the prices of this day week; of all other
Grain the prices last quoted were fully supported.
