VIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET,

REMARKS.-Th market has been active in some
descriptions Of Produce for the season, and some
heavy operations have taken place, will be seen
by reference to our Review. Money matters appear
to be somewhat easier, whether it is to be ascrbrd
the considerable sums left by W cstcrn merchants
cannot say-Dut there has been less complaining
AMERICAN DRY GoODs.--Thc market pre-
sents no appearance yet of improvement except
the steady receipt of bales and cases from the Mills
and Factories.
BEESWAX The enquiries still very few
and the stock is small, and holders generally ask
higher price than purchasers are disposed to give
BREAD.-With a very fair demand prices Tor all
descriptions remain steady at quotations.
CANDLES.-some few transactions have taken
place ia Sperm at 81, (thongh generally held at 32)
and Mould Tallow at ~ cts. per ID, for export.
COFFEE The brisk demand, noticed in our last,
has since continued; aud although there has been an
acquisition of 3,903 bags, its vacnt, from tor
eign ports this week, to the previous stock, the
sales, which have amounted TO about lo,OOO bags,
Gall RioD have swept the market to only 300, ana
probably $500 bags are left in importers
hands-all gone Matchmaking about $1,000 bags
which have been disposed OF on South Western and
Western account within the last two weeks. The
prices this week have ranged principally from 6adhi
cts q mos or a discount for cash, which are a shade
higher than they were last week. and the market
closes firm.

Orleans, taken at 65d75 cts. per lb., mos.
DRUGS, &c;-We note the sale of about 2OoO
lbs Ginseng at 30 cts. per h., cash. The supply is
