CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, 111.tacu 6.—We have to report a heavy
trade for beef, and sales were difficult to effect at barely
last week's currencies. A small supply of sheep, which
sold very readily at former prices. Good beef worth 51d
to 6cl; mutton, 7fd to 71d.—Cattle, 2130; sheep, 3621.
SALFORD, MAiica I.—Cows, 1,638; sheep, 4,900.
Beef 44-d to 64d; mutton, 64d to 7sd; veal, 54(1 to 7d.
A dull heavy market, but still the best articles realised
the above prices. Heavy fat sheep bad to sell.
DUBLIN, 31Aucn 2.—The market to-day, owing to
Lent, was not so large as heretofore. Beef and mutton,
however, fully supported the limes of last week. Beef,
sinking offal, 46s to 60s, middling, 60s to 51s • good,
66s per cwt ; single beasts went as high as 608 ; Mutton,
sid to 74d per lb, some unsold; veal, 8d to 81d per lb, in
do.; lambs, 20s to 25s each ; pigs, heavy, 49s to 50s •
light, 46s per cwt, with a good demand. Perk, 60 per 114:

PROVISIONS,
LIVERPOOL, MARcii 4.—At steady prices the demand
for American beef continues moderately active, and our
stock, as compared with the same period last year, is in a
much more manageable compass. There has been rather
More inquiry for pork, and the sales for the week are to
an average extent, at full rates. Bacon is in fair request,
and all the recent arrivals have been cleared off as landed :
but there is a disposition on the part of importers to press
off parcels near at hand, before arrival. At a decline of
is per cwt., the market for lard is quiet : the sales for the
week are reported at 50 tons. The demand for cheese is
moderately active, at last week's prices.
MAncu 6.—There is no material change to report in our
butter market, which continues firm and steady. Theft
was a moderate business transacted last week, and, in
some instances, rather more money was obtained for fine
qualities, which are very scarce, but stale and inferior
kinds are not saleable to any extent, although offering at
comparatively low rates. The stock is now in a very
small compass, and all will be wanted for consumption.
Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel, 102 s to 104 s ; Kilkenny,
Carlow, and Wexford, 98s to 101 s ; Belfast, 98s to 100 s ;
Limerick, 94s to 96s ; Sligo, 94s to 96s ; and pickled
Cork gds, 100 s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland,
from the 25th ultimo to the 3d instant, both inclusive,
3306 firkins, 111 kegs, 204 crocks, 128 boxes, 141 barrels
butter, 162 bales bacon, 29 hhds. 1 tee. hams, 25 firkins
and 80 kegs lard. •
