PROVISIONS,

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 13.--There is a steady but not
active demand for beef. The receipts to this date, as com-
pared with last year, show a falling off to the extent of
12,800 tierces. For pork there is a moderate inquiry, and
our stocks are low. Holders of bacon continue pressing
sellers, and a farther reduction of is per cwt. has been
established this week, without leading to an active trade.
Shoulders and hams are in moderate request. Lard is a
slow sale, ar 53s to 545, as in quality ; there is less pressure
to sell on the part of holders than was expected from such
large arrivals. No new feature in cheese ; stock about
exhausted. Grease butter has been sold at 58s per cwt.
APRIL 17.—There was a large inquiry for butter from
consuming districts last week, and no old of good quality
now remains. New Cork and Limerick are much wanted,
and the first arrivals will, doubtless, sell at high rates.
The price of new Waterford is too high for many of the
dealers, but as the demand exceeds the supply it has all
been sold on or before being landed. Waterford, new,
120 s to 1255; Limerick, new, 110 s to 112 s, and pickled
Cork seconds, 100 s per cwt. landed. Imported from
Ireland, from the Bth to the 14th instant, both inclusive,
2808 firkins, 100 kegs, 125 crocks, 108 boxes, 104 barrels
butter, 10 bales bacon, 7 hhds. 10 tierces and 15 kegs lard.
