LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC

We observe much activity in our Butter market to-day,—holders
have, however, sudden4y become extremely shy in offering their
stocks except at au advance of 2s to 3s per cwt. Fine Belfast is
now well worth 104 s—and favourite South Country Brands com-
mand the same price. Pickled Butter is a moderate sale, at 94s to
95s for seconds. There is a great deal of inferior Beef on the
market, which is offering very low. Very prime Beef is not plenti-
ful, and the price of such is comparatively supported. Pork is in
rather better demand, but the currency does not improve. Bacon
has excited speculators attention, and nothing fine is now to be had
under 50s—some ask sls to 525.
