BALTIMORE MARKET, JAMS
The business Of the last week has been
rather limited both in the transaction,
OF Floor and Gsaiu; this cause was ow.
ing probablyt, the holidays, and to the
winter weather with which we were ii.
sited towards The close of the week.
FL0UR.-The amount of Flour in.
spected last week was about II, 900 bar
reis-and che quantity on hand is CON-
puted at about $4,000 barrels. OF this
number. $4,000 are probably wharf.

GROCERiES.-The most prominent
article of Groceries, which are probably
Coffee and Sagav, have not undergone
any material alteration. We noticed on

tions. We learn that so bids. Of good
qusiity, from Calvert county, sold for
so, and another lot Of IS bids. for
so, IN the course Of ths week.
In closing our remarks upon the sub.
ject OF our Market, we cam OF in a more
appropriate place well notice the cir.
eumstance, (although they are not ex.
actly articles of merchandise Of tho
