LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 20.
The Butter trade is recovering a little from its late prostrate con-
dition ; —our market being brisk to-day and 10ns obtainable freely
for Belfast, Carlow, &e. A continuation of the present frosty
weather will doubtless force prices up. There is a better demand
for pickled Butter, and Sgs is got for respectable brands of seconds.

sale at 58s for the primest long middles.
