BALTIMORE MARKET,
(ASD INCIDENTS CONNECTED HEREWITH
For the ITeek ending last eUening.

O, II,
which arrived ON the morning of our publication, we
ceivcd English papers and letters, and in the Jour
nal of this morning have condensed from them fully
as limits will permit. They not interesting,
however, further than as respects the material de-
cline of BrcadstuS, which had been gradually tend
ing downward for some time, owing to the continu-
of fine weather and the prospect OF an abundant
harvest in all Europe; and the day of the steam
crs leaving prices dropped down considerably lower
than they the day previous, which circumstance
will account for the discrepancy in the reports, the
correspondent of one party being more correctly ad-
yscd than he of the other.
AT the time of the Cambria's leaving the following
were the market rates: Flour, Western, 27s 6da2Ss
Richmond, Alexandria, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
25s.a26s.; New Orleans and Ohio, 23s .a25s; w heat,
U. S. and Canadian, per 70 lbs, white and mixed,
Ssa9s. ID. red U.s. Gda5s. Cd; Indian Corn, per $50
lbs 2is.d30S. Indian Meal per bril- of 1876 lbs, lisa
los.
In this market during the last fortnight and indeed
for the whole month Of August business generally,
usual for summer months, has been on quite
limited scale, and prices OF Flour and Gram, owing
TO the decline in the European markets and the pros
pcct of an unusually large crop of Grain in the U.
States, have been gradually giving way and at the
close of this report they are lower and still tending

price since with some considerable sales in the
early part of the week; but subsequently, buyers

to contend for 500 City Mills, which was held
at Sc, and at which a few sales made earl in
