BALTIMORE MARXET-ApR1L q.

EOw.-The Flour Market during the past
week was exceedingly unsettled. and Huctuated
so often as to produce an indispostion in dealers
70 operate to any extent. We mentioned in our
Report of Monday last, that we believed the news
which we that day Land before our readers would
tend to improve the price of Flour, and accord
ingly the price opened at S. per barrel tor How
ard street. and we have heard it suggested that
one or two sales were effected at prices a shade
higher. but we could not ascertain the names of
the parties or the quantities thus disposed OIL
Subsequent intelligence from England, of a trl-
Ging decline in the value of Grain. caused de-
preston in our market. as well as an indisposi-
ton to purchase largely, and the price tluctuated
through the week, ranging from s.. on time: So
on time. without interest; 81 81 cash; Sill,
and Is cash. Towards the end of the week,
holders were asking "a 81 and 4 81, we heard
of some who had refused TO sell for less than the
latter price. The wagon price opened at S44,
and ended at 4S.
Gin Mills H0m.-As the quantity of City
Mills Flour in the hands of the manufacturers is
small, we should have thought 1t would have been
in request; but we heard of no transactions, and
therefore cannot annex any price.
Susquetanna H,m.-The quantity which
reached us last week, from the river, was unu-
sualy small for this season of the year, being but
little over thousand barrels-the balance hav-
inc found its way, through the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal to Philadelphia. As we have
heard of no transactions. we presume the small
quantity received must have been stored.
Corn MeaL-The quantity of this article In
spected during the week was trifing, and the
sales made were at the rate of S25 per Dbl.
Rue Hom.-The price remained stationary
through the week.
The inspections for the week were. Howard-st.
1851 bills; City Mills and others 566S bbs. and
lse hf. bbls. )of these 1886 were from the sus-
ouehanna) Rye Flour Is bbls (40 from the Sus-
auehannal and 81 bbls. Of Corn Meal
Gram and Seeds.-The supplies of wheat
were not large, though somewhat greater than
for week or two past. In the early part OF the
week there were but few arrivals Of Wheat, and
in consequence of the scarcity Of the article
marcel of prime red brought S-l.05, the price,
however, of Susquehanna about the close OF the
week became depressed, and several parcels went
off at 90 and lo1 cts. per bushel. Maryland
and Virginia Red brought, as pei. quality 50 to
49, But little Rye came to market; sales were
made at 81 cts; the price may be quoted at from
3 to So per bushel. Sales of yellow Corn were
made at 40 cents, and for white s7-these may

NETWORK MARKET-ApRrl o.

Ia
F7om-Since our last report of this day week,
we have had advices from Liverpool to the first
of April: prices were rather less favorable, in
consequence of which, and the extensive arrivals
from the South, decline of about 25 cts per bar
rel has been submitted to: the sales have been
light
Grmn.-During the week about 5000 bushels
of Southern Wheat have come III, a part of which
has been sold at 90 cents About 5000 Western,
to arrive, have been contracted for, deliverable
in May at 81 l2i. A cargo of Southern corn
has been soldat 40 cents.
From the ~ Y. Journal Of Commerce, Apri IS.
The MARKEr-The feeling is, to day, still
lower respecting -four. Some buyers even talk
of S44. We have heard of no sales, but should
quote the common kinds S4i a. The quanti-
ty arrived the last two days is large, yet no larger
than might have been anticipated, and we know
of nothing in the existing state of things which
was not calculated a week ago, when the price
went up to S55a4, except the difficulty of find
ing ships to take the article away.
The quantity arrived is estimated at 90 to
$4,000 brs. and may be 10000. At any rate
it is not greater than an active business will take
off very soon. A good many small lots Of course
fall into the hands of agents who are instructed to
sell on the wharf, but the consgness of large par
GELS are storing.

element in the Flour market I'VE have before
noticed the various changes in prices, as they &C.
Cured.
The wagon price opened on Monday at "a 80,
and continued to advance until Wednesday be-
fore the arrival of the Northern mail, when it
had reached "a so, the highest point; it then re-
coded. Thursday and Friday, many dealers de-
clined purchasing at over 81 so, at which few
loads were bought; though large proportion was
taken at "a 62l. Saturday morning it opened
at 81 62s; in the early part of the day fraction
more was paid. After the arrival of the Northern
mail it was extremely dull-only 81 so was ge-
morally offered; but the receipts were not suffi-
GENTLY large to establish price: the few loads
received were taken at "a "a 4 Sc.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, consider
able sales were made from stores, on speculation
and for coastwise shipment, at 81 GEL, 81 IS,
and some small lots at the rate of "a SD
Thursday, about $500 bbls. stored Flour were
sold at S4 62s, nearly 1000 bbls. of which were
purchased for immediate foreign shipment, (sup-
posed for Liverpool. )-Subsequen sales were
made at the same rate. Saturday afternoon lot
of 100 bbls was sold at 81 Co. Total sales dur
ing the week, probably 5000 to 600 bbls-re-
ceipts about 500 bbls. less, in King-street, than
the week preceding. The reduction in price is
attributable TO the news from England, up to the
lst Of April, being generally viewed as less fa-
vvrablc to an advance in prices of bread stutfs
than the accounts that had before reached US, TO-
eether with the reaction in the New York and
Baltimore markets.
Yesterday, the current price from wagons "a
SO; fraction more was paid early in the day for
few loads The article is dull from stores at

ing at over4 so.
