REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREwITH,)
For the Heek ending last evening.

least importance is the ScaSOn-m
riod which usually quiet under ordinary circumstan
ces and the more after much activity has
employ ed shipping merchants for the last SIX months
but the most important is probably the charac
ter of the last adviccs from Europe in relation to the
market for Breadstuls, the great decline which has
taken place in price with regard to portion OF
them, and the prospect of an universal and an apnh
dant harvest 10 these causes may DC auocu tlle
great favorable changes which are apparent IN the
growing crops, since the recent rams over al On"
country, by which average yield OF " neat Is an
ticipatcd-aside from the stock OF old, yet IN the
country-and the wonder that quiet week should DC
found in our midst, will no longer be questioned
Our Review of the Market will be found as partcu-
lar and as general as have been enabled to make
it. and we refer to the various articles winch follow
for details That of Flour it will be observed, has
been the most seriously affected the price having gone
down So per bril- within the last ten days, or ~
since the PRONUNCIATION OF the CambriaS ad'lces On
Thursday of last week; sudden and so great de-
cline we do not remember before to have re-
corded. -,
continues seaS0nably quiet for most descriptions:
BEESWAX-Is dull, and no enquiries are making.
At New York, il is down to 24a25 cts per Id.
BREAD-Tbc decline in Flour has induced Ba-
kcrs to come down in the price OF Bread, and we
now quote Water Crackers g. cts, Pilot Biscuit o.
and Navy ditto AZ cts. per brl. ,-,..,.

to a moderate extent at 30a3l; and OF Mould Iallow

animation; and the transactions OF the week, when
were chiefly of Rio have hardly reached lOOO bags,
taken at , including small lot OF very prime at

FLOUR AND MEAL.-We noted in the closing
part of our last weeks report the great decline which
had taken place prices Of Flour in consequence
of the the by the steamer Cumbra
sales of Howard street having been made at Low, on
Friday last with the Inference that for lOOO Drs.
thing less had been accepted and this we have
since learned the fact. The consequence oil

article still declining, until it has got down TO Sooo,
at which there have been willing sellers since and
including Wednesday, the parcels taken being in ios

up probably 5O00a600O brls., including parcels
OF more favorite brands at 1902 Yesterday, there
was lot of 1000 brls sold at $500. The mar
