REVIEW OF TIE
BALTIMORE MARKET -,


REMARKS.-Wc have no Improvement to note
in the general market neither is there any important
change observable in any particular department.
There are heavy operations that we can learn, in
progress and business may be considered noninaly
dull. BY reference to the articles below, something
more specific will be obtained.
We merely mentioned the arrival of the steamer
Union in last and the further decline III the
English markets OF the price Of Brcadstuis, and
were madc 10 sag that Baltimore Flour had sold at
34s.'' instead Of 2ls gave it. This incorrect
statement the more unpleasant because oil ITS
isolated position, with nothing to induce Suspicion OF
an error unless the words 'lurthcr dcclinc, which
preceded it in another sentence, were to DO So we
state, in addition, the following as the quotation
Of prices in Liverpool on the 81 inst, the day pre-
yous TO the BritdHniG'S leaving:

AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-Although a fair
moderate business has been doing by commission
houses during the passing week, yet the demand was
rather less animatcd but in proportion probably as
that class of the trade has relaxed, lobbcrS have
strengthened for learn that the operations OIL the
latter have been quite active.
BEES AX.-Ihc market is quiet, and stock
light.
BREAD-Thc demand for Biscuit and Crackers

fancy including fraction of it at II, but the larger
portion of the sales made at sui& cts per lD
6mos BY auction on Tuesday, 72O bags Rio sold at
las cts 6 mos. The stock of Rio in importers
hands is now reduced TO 10000 bsgs.
COPPER Prices remain pretty steady Tor Sheath
ing and Bolts Old is worth II !al9 cts per lb ac-
cording to the quality.
COTTON.-Thc comparatively large transactions
noticed in last has left only limited supply ON
the market, and have not heard OF q sale worth
rcportinr. fin reference, further TO the forthcoming
crop: there have been many and Varously contra
dctory reports recently, that while we have endeav-
orcd to give the true version, have probably been
led into the wrong; for the latest accounts represent
the plant so far advanced that the "dTmy lc0rm Is
incapable Of doing it much harm as was anticpa-
tcd-and that the crop may exceed 2,oOo,"OO bales
