LIVERPOOL, October 6, 1919.
Remarks-The arrivals Of American produce con-
tinue to be on the most limited scale, present
prices afording no margin for profit shipments of
any article. The accounts of the Potato Crop are
less favorable the immediate effect of which is that
all our markets largely supplied at low prices,
farmers fearing to hold their stocks
Becf-A quiet business doing in the article with
out any alteration in prices.
Professionals are less pressed on the market, and
prices consequently are sustaned; the demand Is,
however, by no means brisk.
BacoH-'rhe sales this week have been larger,
amounting to about 800 boxes, at former rates, and
the market being nearly cleared of the lowest de-
scrptions, higher prices are asked for such. Hams
and Shoulders in very limited demand.
CheeSc-The late arrivals show a decided ad-
vance in quality former imports this season, and
higher level Of prices has in consequence been es-
tablished few diaries of fine Cheese bringing 44a
46s These rates, however, can only be maintained
for choice dailes.
Lard-A better business has been done this week.
the sales reaching nearly $50 tons, at the full quo
tatons of our former advice.
Corn, S'c-With large deliveries from the farmers
and continued liberal supplies from the continent of
Europe, our Corn market has ruled generally dull
for all articles. There has been, however, an in
creasing firmncss shewn by holders of fine Wheats,
prices ha wing, it is generally thought. reached the
lowest point. The consumption Of Indian Corn is
for the present intcrcred with owing to the low
at which Potatoes selling, but more conf,
is felt that higher rates will prevail for this article
during the winter. At yesterday 5 market very
limited business done.
