REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET,

For the Week ending last ercning.

RENIARKS.-S Since our last publication. two Brit
ish steamers have arrivcd-thc first, the Guadal-
qticer, (ncw) at New York on the morning of the
18th, having left the l4h and the other the CATE
dOna, at Boston on Thursday noon, having left 18th
nlt., both from Liverpool. The accounts by these
vessels are conflrmatory Of those received by all
the late previous steamers, viz: fine weather and the
prospect OF generally abundant European harvest.
This prospect and these accounts had continued urth-
CT TO dcprcss the market for BrcadStuis that
side OF the water, InsOmuch that great Cmbarrass-
mcnts had taken place, and to such an extent TO
have caused several heavy failures in London. And
the rccc pit Of such adyccs i'll this country has
trbutcd further To put down prices in our own and
other markets. But aside from the particular Incl
dent here referred TO, would observe, ALSO that
the & n.ral transactions of the week have been a
very limited scale, Gas will be better understood by
reference to the articles bclow;) and at no point or
with any one class OF business men, has there been
presented any improving feature safely TO justify
Il departure from this expression.
