1Sbacco.-The sales OF the month. though not
large, have been fair and the purchases confined
principally for Ireland and the home trade; no
speculation, and but little inquiry for export
purposes.
About one half Of the new, now sampled,
comprising an equal proportion Of Virginia and
Western; the former proved, as expected, much
better than the previous import; the latter good
in every way. and both generally in fine order
and condition.
10 prices we make no alteration. the finer and
most colory descriptions still commanding ex.
IRENE rates; though with ordinary and midding
holders are much easier than at the earlier part
Of the season, and unless some difference should
arise between this country and America; with
large stock, and manufacturers pretty well sup
piled, as is the case at presently we cannot see
any prospect Of improvement on the present
quotations.
Liverpool american Provision Market. Jan. d.
BEEHIVE must do the curers the justice to say
that they have all but monopolized our market
for the supply Of our navy. Sales Of the last
month very trhing, but in this as in all others,
we expect decided improvement. Pork does
not improve. We find growing dislike for
this article. though offered fully II per cent.
below Irish, yet it does not sell. This is owing
TO The soft nature Of the pork itself, and partly
To The want of that neatness and care which
characterizes the Irish brands Of this article.
There have also been q number Of true com.
plants that i, does not do for long voyages, and
that the extra waste is more than equivalent 10
the difference between it and Irish Cheese
the arrivals not large and yet fully equal TO the
demand We can account for this from two
causes: the first is, that we have very heavy
make OF English. which has been pressed freely
on the market; and secondly, the price Of Amer.
lean has so advanced as 10 be higher than our
own make. We must reduce quotations / IS
per cwt.. but i. would require a further fall Of
IS before quantity could be sent into con
sumption equal to last year. We have on ample
supply Of lard, as importers and holders will
find TO their cost before they clear off their pres
ent stocks. Sales very limited, and prices fully
, q. lower. with downward tendency.

Sugar-The home trade has felt disinclined to
purchase Colonial sugars OF late. and the husi
ness transacted privately has been very limited.

London European Corn Ezchange.-At the
date Of our last publication the trsde in all kinds
