PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 6.—The demand for Beef continues of
the same retail character that has prevailed for several weeks
past. Holders of the better descriptions are firm;but ordinary
sorts are pressed on the market at low prices. There is some-
what more firmness in Pork, the recent advance in America
leads to the opinion that the supply from thence will not be so
heavy as was lately anticipated. For Bacon the demand is
rather active, and it would appear that at 475 to 48s for the
best western the consumption would be good. but over this
figure the dealers say they cannot get on. At an advance or6d
per cwt. sales of Lard reach 150 tons, and holders are nowyery
firm. Cheese salle, freely at last week's prices.

MAY 9.—Butter has been scarce since our last report, and
there being a brisk demand, all sold readily on arrival, and
many of the dealers could not fully supply their wants, which
has caused holders to ask an advance of fully 48 on the finest
qualities. Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel may now be quoted
at 100 s to 105 s, and scarcely any remain unsold ; lower kinds
are without much change. Limerick, 943 to 965; Cork fourths,
925; and fiths, 82s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland
from the 2nd May to the 7th May, both inclusive :-8,020 firkins,
47 kegs, 281 crocks, 340 boxes, 261 barrels Butter; 49 bales
Bacon ; 8 hogsheads 4 tierces Hams ; and 220 kegs Lard.
