VIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET ,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREwITH,
For the UIeek ending last erening.

Saturdays paper, we have accounts here, recciv ed
by telegraph on Wednesday, after O'Clock, p M,
of the arrival at that hour OF the steamer Cambria at
Boston, but the wires being out Of order between
this city and Philadelphia, nothing more definite
could be obtained until the next day, when accounts
arrived through Phadcph paper, which has
since been pronounced through another paper, as IN
accurate and another and more favorable one subst-
tued in its place; yet both accounts agree that there
has been material decline in Liverpool IN the price
OF Breadsutfs, but TO what extent we shall not be
able to communicate in our publication OF to-day;
suffice to say, these reports have unsettled our mar
kct, and reduced prices of Flour and Grain-as will
be by referring to those articles, below.
The two accounts from Liverpool are something
like the following: First-Flour, sweet, 25s.d26s.
3D.: Sccond-3Os a3s.-Whcat, in the first, Is. cd.
ass. 3d. per 10 lbs, for red and in the latter 5Ssd
62s. per qrCorn, III the hrst, 26s d3OS, and IN the
latter 36s. a40S, sc.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-Bcsidcs the mod
crate demand for Drills and other Cotton Fabrics,
taken for export to the South American markets,
there are orders extent from the South West
and West well as goodly number OF Merchants
at present in the cty,who are making purchases;
and is gratifying to have heard, that several OF
largest hotels have been filled in consequence, III
some instances to OVERLOOKING This, trust, is
only the beginning of good fall business.
BEES VANS flat again. Wehavc not heard oil
a sale during the week
BREAD.SThc price of Biscuit and Crackers, with
a fair demand, remains steady at quotations.
CANDLES-Arc without variation in prices; and
Sperm and Mould Tallow are in fair moderate re-
uuest-the former held with much irmncss at quota
IONS.
COAL.-Wc noted recently that Anthracite had
advanced % cts. per ton the rates Tor broken and
screened being 515aS6 per tom dcllvcrcd: this adj
vance, we understand has taken place in consequence
of the difficulty, from the scarcity OF boats, OF trans
porting it from the mines TO this market.
COFFEE.-Thc market has been steady and
prices firm. The transactions in Rio comprise about
4UUO bags, in lots, some OF them heavy, at various
prices, the extremes of which were 7 and Il, but
sales were chiefly made at or between 13a7t cts;
and 600 Luguayra at Ra75 cts per lb., all mos.

fresh ground have been the current rates Tor Howard
street, and purchasers were not more prodga III hclf
operations than they could well avoid-And on the
other hand there were not many who pressed sales,
inasmuch as the stock sale was light, and would
so continue for at least several weeks. The weeks
transactions have probably not exceeded 1000 brIs,
small portion for foreign but the larger for coastwlSe
shpmcnt There have been limited sales OF City
Mills at So, but there was not much on hand
beyond what had been contracted for, millers were
holding out for S625-but without sales, we believe
