PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 23.—Several large sales of beef have
been made this week by holders anxious to clear out, at
prices considerably under former rates. The demand from
the trade is only moderately active. Pork continues lifeless,
the dealers seeming determined to keep light stocks. The
demand for bacon rather improves, but the prospect of large
supplies from America makes buyers cautious. We quote a
further decline of Is per cwt. in lard, without leading 'to an
improved demand. Cheese is a quiet sale, and, we cannot
quote any change in value.

DEC. 26.—Our Butter market was quiet last week, which is
usually the case at this season, and only a limited business
transacted. The value of fine qualities, which range from
98a to ICOs, is without alteration, but lower descriptions have
given way Is to 2s percwt. Stocks here are only moderate,
and the imports for the last few weeks, compared with last
year, show a considerable decrease. 1% aterford, Carrick,
and Clonmel 98e to 100 s; Limerick 93s to 965; Sligo 92s to
965; and pickled Cork, 2nds, 90s per cwt. landed. Imported
from Ireland, from the 17th to the 23rd inatar.t, both inclu-
sive, 10,990 firkins, SG kegs, 598 crocks, 269 boxes, 241 barrels
butter, 126 bales bacon, 12 hhds, 13 tierces hams, 25 tierces,
3 firkins, awl 67 kegs lard.
