REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET

REMARKS.-We have again to report another
inactive week in the general business of the market,
and there is very little appearance of an improve
ment shortly presenting itself. The most active
operations at present are among the Dry Goods ana
Boot and Shoe Dealers.
The French steamer Union announced on
Thursday evening by telcgrapha as having just ar
rived at New York having left Cherbourg 18th, with
London dates to 9th August. These accounts are
again unfvorablc TO the market for Brcadstufts, de-
claring further decline in England and yet further
heavy failures, growing out OF the Corn trade, oil
merchants in that metropolis; among them is the
house, at the head of which was w. X. Robinson,
Premier of the Bank of England which is said to have
had a very injurious efcct-Baltimorc Flour had
sold at 34s.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-The demand
tnucs very good and commission houses and Jobbers
are both freely participating IN the tr3nsactloms
and the few buyers not disposed TO pay the rates
of last week.
BREAD.-Thc market is without any change in
prices, and the demand for foreign export continues
CANDLEs-Spcrm and Mould Tallow have been
selling TO fair cXtt mt al quotations, the export de-
mand for the latter continuing very good
COFFEE.-Thc market has not been very AMI
mated. but previous prices, believe, are sustain
ed. The transactions in Brazil have amounted TO
about 1000 bags, at jas cts. hc latter for iancy)
but mostly 7a7 cts and small sales OF Java at 9H'5
and St Domingo o. cts. per lb., all mos

FLOUR AND MEAL.-Thc Flour market has not
varied very material since our report OF last week;
in some instances few buyers have probably found
il a little easier The sales of all descriptions for
foreign shipment have not exceeded 5000 brs, winch
included Howard street at $s5.25, except about 9VV
brs $50 reportcd) at $5lSi and City Mills at Dr.
aS5.25, mostly at the latter towards lhe ciosc, as
it was found the receipts would be Light, and the
stock hand, particularly OF Howard street. already
small there was an increased irmncss manifested,
and our highest quotations, where there was wish
to purchase, more readily obtained. The fore
going were the rates which prevailed during the
week until the close on Thursday evening. 1cster-
day morning, the arrival of the French steamer
Union at New York having been tecgraphcd with
English dates to 9th August showing further de-
cline in Brcadstuis in that capitol, it was thought by
some persons that depressing influence would be
,xcrted through the day upon this market, but the
stock was too inconsidcrablr be thus acctcd and
with no change worthy OF notice, and few transac-
ons at any price, the day passed away rather quietly
than otherwise. No Rye Flour IN market Corn
Meal is scarce and City manufactured cannot be OBJ
tanned under $3.50 per bril-, at which sales have
been made in lots of 100 brls Inspected this week:
Corn Meal, 46l brls.-
