LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,
FRIDAY, APRIL 1.
The demand for Beef has not improved, the dealers buy
sparingly, and the stock accumulates, holders of fine quality
continue firm, but for middling and ordinary sorts lower prices
would be taken. Pork, though not in active demand, is firmly
held, the stock being moderate and the deliveries good. Bacon
is lower is to 2s per cwt., but a change to milder weather
having taken place, the demand will improve. At last week's
prices there has been a fair demand for Lard, and the sales are
reported at 130 tons. The inquiry for Cheese is good, but the
market is bare of stock.

MONDAY, APRIL 4.
The transactions in old Butter were to a moderate extent last
week ; the finest kinds commanded 945, and lower qualities BGs
to 90s. In consequence of the stock being reduced so low,
buyers had great difficulty in suiting themselves in quality.
New is inquired for; Waterford may be quoted 96s to 107 s, and
Limerick 91s to 935; Belfast, 88s to 945; Waterford, 86s to
925; Clonmel and Wexford, SSs to 92 ; Banbridge and Coleraine,
85s to 88s; Sligo, 84s to SSs ; and pickled Cork seconds, 9Gs per
cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland from the 28th ultimo to
the 2nd instant, both inclusive :-1,887 firkins, 17 kegs, 389
crocks, 233 boxes, 80 barrels Butter; 157 bales Bacon; 20 hogs-
heads 1 tierce Hams; 104 kegs Lard.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET,

MONDAY. APRIL 4.

A very small supply at market to-day, yet buyers finding it
impossible to give advanced prices, and sellers insisting upon
the same, the market was dull, and finished at last week's
rates. There were only 1,231 Beasts, and 3,579 Sheep at market.
Prime Heifer Beef made 6d; second quality, sicl to ad; Cows,
43d to sd; Mutton, 8d to Sad. Lambs, of which there were
about 100 present, sold at 26s each, on an average.
