REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET.

REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREwIrH,)
For the Week ending last evening.
REMARKS.-We have no new feature to note
in the general market; the demand for Foreign and
Domestic Produce, remains much last week. and
there is very little alteration in priccs-and Money
cannot be obtained upon easier terms. Such the
complexion of the political and commercial face of
the country when the steamer Caledonia left Liver
pool the 18th ult that considerable anxiety is
now manifested at the delay of the steamer Wash
ingon, now due at New York, which to have left
Bremen and Southampton (the latter) on the Goth
ult.-and her protracted arrival is without its
influence, we think, in contributing to the dizziness
of our market.

fair business doing, particularly with the obbers and
