BALTIMORE MARKET,

from Liverpool, with accounts to the 18th ult. and
the Washington at New York the 9th inst. from
Bremen via southampton, with London and Liver
pool dates to the 9th ult.. The advccs by these
arrivals detail further heavy failures in Europe and
great depression in all commercial concerns. Money
matters in a dcporabe state, in England but
it tcought by some OF the more knowing, or pre-
dieting that they had reached crisis CotlOh nad
materially declined in Liverpool, and when the Cai-
cdona left, fair Upland and Mobile was quoted sd
and fair Orleans 5 3D.; mddllng 4ddod'; ana oral
nary 4id., and the Washington's accounts maze
them lQsd. lower The market for BrcadStuIls was
without any material alteration when the Caledonia
sailed, and they remained much the same when me
Washington's letters were wrttcn.-ln the remarks
witch follow we have cndcavOrcd to give as correct
report as possible of this market, but business has
been in general rather dull, aud the accounts by the
steamers above referred to, inasmuch as they were
not more favorable, contributed probably somewhat
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-Tho marll,tha been

arrivals within the last few days have been 3o6l
bags from Rio, els from Laguayra, and % brls from
Porto Rico. :,
COTTON-1hc crop of the country is nearly all
or quite gathered except probably at few southern
points and the result is complete revolution IN
opinion in regard to It's paucity IL here are no lar
my worms 'borcrs, and II there have been
any thew have left no marks behind them. The re-

bales $50 of which were Upland part relc crop, at
S4alO and the residue, mostly Louisiana, at 9alo cts
per h., 6 mos
FEATHERS stock is very light, and the
steady brisk demand prey cnts an accumulation: we

holders of small prime lots ask 40 cts per b, cash

FLOUR AND MEAL.-1hc Cacdonia's advlccs
unsettled the Flour market last Saturday, although
shippers would have paid S5.o7 for Howard street
on that day and Monday, but sellers commended Tor
s. on Tuesday there were sellers at 5;o'5, Dnt
buyers refused TO pay over S5.Sii; on wednesday,
sellers came down to $S5.Sl and some few transac-
tons took place; and the Nashmgton's adviccs
had been tclcgraphcd, and not considered more
favorable, there few buyers disposed to pay
over 1915 On Thursday, buyers being Obliged TO
fill their orders, met sellers at S5:Sli and some
I50Oa2O00 brs. disposed of, although probably
$50 may have been picked up at S5.75-towards the
close sellers affected to be firm at 1851. City
Mills has been rather quiet, the milIcrS generally
asking SO, but heard of no sales over $685., at
which some 900 brls. were taken on "Wednesday and
Thursday. Yesterday, not over S5.5l4 could be OBJ
tanned for Howard street and sales were made ncud-
ing lot of 300 brs, that price, and the same price
paid for City Mills, which at close, may be con

GRAIN.-Thc receipts of Wheat early in the
week were very fair, and prices somcwha fell oil;
but within the last days they have again rallied,

were paid for red, and for strictly prime lot proba
b!y cent or two more might have been obtained -
a small lot of Maryland white sold at = 80, but
l2SaSl35 would probably be fair range for Fam |
ly Flour quality. No Rye arriving. Corn is diff
