PROVISIONS

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 20.—There is a fair demand for
beef at steady prices, and the stock is now so much re-
duced as to leave no great assortment for selection, hence
holders of good qualities are very firm. In pork the
transactions have been limited, also from want of suitable
qualities; fine American would bring an advance, but of
such the market is quite bare. Bacon, though not active,
is in fair retail demand, and prices are well supported.
From present appearances the stock now on hand is likely
to be all required before new can come forward in quantity.
A very strong speculative demand having set in for lard,
prices have advanced is 6d to 2s per cwt., and sales are
reported on the spot and to arrive to the extent of 1,800
to 2,000 tons. Cheese is in moderate demand, at steady
rates, and the late arrivals are well cleared off.
OCT. 23.—There was a good inquiry for Butter last
week, and business to a fair extent transacted since our last
report. The high rates which continue to be paid in Ire-
land, and the small stocks held here, cause holders to be
firm at the quotations. Waterford, Carrick, and Clon-
mel, 98s to 101 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 96s to
99s ; Belfast, 96s to 98s ; Aligo and Limerick, 92s to 96s ;
and pickled Cork 2nds, 86s per cwt. landed. Imported from
Ireland, from the 14th to the 20th inst., both inclusive,
14,287 firkins 420 kegs 278 crocks 110 boxes butter, 72
bales bacon, 2 tierces and 126 kegs lard.
