Norwich Castle Meadow, Jan. 3.— There was a very short supply of Fat Beasts here to-day; good Scots were much in demand; a large show of Land Stock, which obtained rather better prices than last week. A few pens of good fåt Sheep went off readily at 43s. a head; Hoggetts, 20s. to 23s. a

BACON.

If the cause were not known, it would be surprising to see the dealers go on importing Bacon at the present high prices, when they know that an advance must take place in this market to enable them to make a profit upon the prices which they are giving on board. On board, 50s. to 51s.; Landed, 52s. to 54s. Pork, landed, 44s. to 50s. This article is very dull: it is always a precarious trade.

BUTTER.

This article has been steady of late: prices are quite high enough; and there seems no inclination to let them go down.-On board: Carlow, 90s. to 92s.-Belfast, 90s. -Dublin, 86s. - Waterford, 85s. to 86s.-Cork, 86s.-Limerick, 84s. -Landed: Carlow, 88s. to 94s. -Belfast, 90s. - Dublin, 80s. to 86s.-Cork, 84s. to 85s.-Limerick, 84s.-Dutch, 90s. to 100s.

CHEESE.

Prices continue about the same as for some weeks past: fine cheese of every kind is scarce.
