LIVERPOOL, DEC. 16.—Beef sells slowly at about previous
prices, though .some holders, anxious to clear out old parcels,
would take rather lower rates. The new referred to in our
last (Brown's Chicago) has found buyers at 110 s, but this
figure has been paid with great reluctance. Pork is very dull
and prices are again in favour of buyers. Bacon sells slowly;
the prospect of arrivals of the new cure causes holders of old
to press their stocks. Lard is lower is to 2s, and buyers hold
back, anticipating a still further decline, hence the sales for
the week are trifling in the extreme. There is a fair demand
for good cheese, but ordinary descriptions move very slowly.

DEC. 19.—There is no improvement to report of our butter
market. The transactions were limited, and on a retail scale
14st week, but as the stock is moderate, holders are not
presing sales at any reduction in prices, judging from the
reports of small supplies in all the Irish markets, that it is
not unlikely an advance may shortly take place, and no
change can be made in the quotations. Waterford, Carrick,
and Clonmel, 98s to 100 s; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford,
96s to 98s; Belfast, 95s to 975; Limerick, 93s to 96s ; Sligo,
92s to 965; and pickled Corks, 2nds, 90s per cwt. landed.
Imported from Ireland, from the 10th to the 16th instant,
both inclusive, 9,220 firkins, 120 kegs, 362 crocks, 255 boxes,
260 barrels butter, 138 bales bacon, 15 hhds. 5 tierces hams,
1 hhd., 2 tierces, and 115 kegs lard.
