LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 4.
New Butter is purchased with avidity as it arrives. and suchis
the scarcity, that the high rate of 32ns has been obtained for Wa.
terford. Much will depend upon the make, but for some weeks to
come, prices must, in our opinion continue high, Considevable
orders for Baltic have we understand been forwarded to the Conti-
nent; a step which present extravagant prices and the great
facilities offered by steam to get the article quickly to market,—
would appear to justify. Some new Pickled Butter, 2nd quality,
has been purchased upon Portugal and Brazil account, at, we be-
lieve, 112 s per cwt. The export demand for Beef and Pork is smail,
but for sh;p stores it is brisk et full prices. Prime middles of
Bacon are a ready sale at 525, which is an advance in price of Is
to 25 per cwt.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MAY 4.
We have bad a little larger supply of Beasts at our market to-
day, and the trade by no means brisk. Prime Beef sold at 6id to
7d, second quality sid, inferior sid to 6d ; at the close of the day
a few lots were turned out unsold The number of Sheep was
about the same as last week. Prime blethers in Wool 7ad, second
quality 7d, sheared Sheep 60. Lambs were scarce and very dear;
they sold froM 20s to 34s per head. Beasts, 900 ; Sheep and Lambs,
3596.

land, dated 7th ultimo, have Leen received this week, bringing a
