For the Week ending last erenng.
REMARKS.-Simce our last publication the Brit
ish mail steamer llibcrnia has arrived at Boston,
with Liverpool accounts the 18th Sept, and which
were received here last Monday. The most impor-
tant features that they present, having commercial
bearing, is some little reaction by way OF improve
mcnt in the market for Brcadstut, further decline
in the price of Cotton, the continuation of favorable
reports in reference to the European harvest and adj
dtional and heavy failures Of long established com
mcrcial houses in London and at some othGr points
on the continent. The aggregate OF those III England
is put down at 81 00O,OO0.-Fhc average price OF

little excitement in the Flour market during the rSt
day or two and sellers put up rates to no Dchg an
advance OF about 2jG3Is cts. per bril- but buyers du
not readily come forward and as II was early learnt
that an advance could not be sustained in the Eastern
markets holders found it necessary TO give way and
the previous prices are now nearly rrachcd'-N re-
fer to the following Review for the present state OIL
AMERICAN DRY DOODS.-The weather has
been rather uniayorabe for transactions during the
last few DAYS, but there has Notwithstanding been
fair business going forward, IN which both commission
houses and iobbcrs have participated
REESWAN.-Thv supply continues light and the
price has improved none to be had, that we know Of
at less than % cts.-somc holders ask -.
BREAD-Contnucs in active demand, Tor export
at o. A and 81 per h., for Crackers and Pilot
and Navy Biscuit.
CANUIES.-lrhc market for all descriptions re-
mains firm. parcel Of 100 boxes Nantucket sperm
has sold TO arrive, at DO cts. per lb, cash.
COFFEE II he market has not manifested any grGat
dcgr Of animation since our last report, as me sales
of the week comprised very little over 2VoO bags
Rio y hich were taken at GIj including an invoice
OF leo bags from vessel at an average OF ABOUT =
cts per b. all mos Probably the notice OF sales
bv ;ucti n Of about GOO0 bags, to take place next
Tuesday and Thursday, may have contributed to the
Inactivity in the demand. ,
COPPER-Wc note the sale of lot OF some 5OOO
a6O00 lbs. oh at IS ct per lb, cash
COTTON.-Thc transactions for the week h.ve
been very ght-n fact there is not much ON hand 10
do with The accounts are still favorable IS
regards the coming crop, and the idea that any
mischief Of cons qucncc has been done by the army
wOr;u'' is exploded. L lie new OlICdlS Dtlt nos
n letter of which the following is extract, dated
''Point Coupcc, Sept. 2O-1hc crops, so far cannot
be surpassed. The worm has made ITS appearance,
and this is much as We can say, either Tor or
against them. 1t supposed by many that they have
been either eaten by black birds, or are destroyed by
some insect unknown yet to the planter"
FEATIIERS.-Thc stock is quite light, and the
demand for good to prime qualities 10 supply Eastern
requirements fair, and prices have recently adv anced
Lar cents; and were the article in market probably
3la32 cts. per lb., cash, could be obtained.
FISH-The supply of Dry Goldfish is light, and
nothing doing worthy Of particular notice. Mackcr-
c are less firm; and although the market remains
pretty fair for No. 3s, those, as well as rs and 2S
can be had upon somewhat easier terms. .
FLOUR AND MEAL.-Ihc steamer lllbernIa,s
accounts at Boston, which reached here by tcle-
graph and were promulgat on Monday, put prices
Of Flour up, and some few transactions III toward
street and City Mills took place at SO per 1rl.; D"t
when the regular mail arrived and the complexion oil
the news gave evidence that there were no orders 10
purchase and the little Improvement that had been
exhibited in Eastern markets again subsidized, prices
here ed land holders willing toacccpt lower
rates On Wednesday 6uS0D brs. City Mills sold at
575a 5.5l !; and on Thursday parcel OF lO0 brlS
Howard street at S5.573 and there were other
willing sellers at the same, but buyers were not dis-
posed to offer 5.15, and with the width OF ~
cts. between them closed rainy day. The market
yesterday was rather quiet; heavy and unccasing
storm of rain having prevailed through the proceed
inc nipht did very material damage TO some i've or
six or more of the principal mills on the Patapsco
and probably Gwynn's Fails, Which contributed
largely to the supply of exporters, to repair when
will probably require two or three weeks OF posi-
bly, portion of them may be in operation again III
ten DAYS; but the circumstance was calculated to I'M
part firmness to the Flour market, although we be-
iicve purchases of City Mills could have been made
early in the day at 5.15; and we close our remarks
on the subject quoting 5.75a 5.S7 buyers and sell
ers for both City Mills and Howard street. Nothing
of moment doing in Rye Flour; and City Corn Meal
steady with moderate sales at $3.50 per brl. In
spectcd this week:
