SELECTIONS FROM LATE ENGLISH PAPERS.

SELECTIONS FROM LATE ENGLISH PAPERS.
We understand that several gentlemen who take
deep interest in the currency question are to meet
in London from all parts of the country for the pur
pose of holding currency congress. 1t Is expected
10 sit for several days. We also informed that
several of the gentlemen who TO be present, and
take part in the proceedings, are members oil respect
able bankn firms in the provinces, and that others
are partners in mercantile houses of high standing
There are differences of opinion among them as TO
the precise footing which the currency OF the
country ought be placed, but all are agreed in the
propTicty of an immediate and entire repeal OF the
Bank Restriction Act of 1874. The great majority,
we NAV further state are for to paper
currency, and the reissue OF II notes.
The great iron works of the park Of Moeskirch,
in the grand duchy of Baden, belonging to the Prince
de Furstenburg, have just been destroyed by fire.
The loss is estimated at several millions OF francs,
only portion of which is insured. The destruction
of the buildings alone is estimated at OOO HORNS,
$780, 900 francs.) About nine hundred men were
employed in the works, all of whom, with their
families, are without resources.

The Enoch Pratt-Is the name of brig which ar
rived here last week from Fall River, in Nlassachu-
sets. She was especially built for freightng Coal
Iron &C., from this port to Fall River, and in con-
structing her with that view, much judgment has
been displayed in her carrying qualities, combining
as we'll economy in stowagc as strength in her parts,
and symmetry in her form. She measures, we are
informed only 100 tons, and will carry 300 tons
Coal. She lies at Pratts wharf, at Canton and those
persons interested in the coal and iron trade winch
is to become before long staple articles OF export
from our port, will do well to take look at her.
We have only time now to say thus much, but de-
sign to touch upon the subject again, and will then
accompany our remarks with such facts as, by COM
parison, will subsantate the opinion here advanced.

REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET,
(ANp INoIpENrs ooNNEcrEp rnEREwIrH,l



REMARKS.-The business of the week has been
rather more active than noticed some few weeks
since, and it would probably have been still more SO
but for the unfavorabe advces from England received
by the last steamer, giving accounts OF further heavy
failures, great depression in Monetary matters, and
rendering questionable the solycncy OF long estab-
lished houses or institutions in that country.-1 our
city, money is still easy OF access Tor all business
purposes but how long will continue, and whcth-
er any change will be realized by the next steamers
advices, is a subject of speculation with some, but
cxcites the sensibties of all business men.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-The market re-
mains much reported last week. but the fall busi-
ness although transactions to limited extent con-

would remark that there have been recently several
European arrivals which have enabled dealers to
prepare their supplies for the approaching winter,
and which they are now arranging
ESWAX.-Thc supply is light, and enquiries
are limited: and our quotation is only nominal.
BREAD.-Crackcrs and Biscuit are IN brisk de-
mand for export at the late improved prices.
CANDLES-Continuc very firm for all dcscrip-
TONS with strong tendency to a further advance
COFFEE-Thc last weeks heavy transactions
together with reduced stocks appear to have allaycd

and the private sales since have probably not ex-
