VIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MARKET

(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREwlTH,)
For The Weeh ending last eoen,ng.
REMARKS.-The market in general presents no
new feature, except further decline in Gram and
more frmncss in Provisions. Flour Coffee and
Sugars, remain without much alteration II we cN-
ccpt the fatnesS and low price of Coffee which, with
Sugars, at a lower point than they have reached
dor many years. We have said nothing recently IN
relation to the Money market, in the hope that each
succeeding week would relax the frightened cords,
but have been mistaken, and the passing week
has been stringent as any previous one although
the U. S. Six per cent. Loan Tor lb,OuOOOJ has
been taken, and Foreign Exchange is declining, we
trust few weeks will present to us something
easier in the way OF money.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-We have no new
feature to note in this department of business; as
transactions generally ON the most limited scale
at this season ofthe year.
BEES WAX-Thc market continues very poorly
supplied, and no enquiries making.
BREAD.-Ihc demand is steady Tor export, and
prices unchanged.
CANDLES.-Wc have alteration TO note in
any denomination, aud there is fair demand for cX-
port for Adamantinc and Mould Iallow
COFFEE-Ihere have been sales OF about 700
bags Rio from importers hands at a6i cts, mos;
and some rc-sacs the particulars OF which we ana
not enquire, but they were unimportant we nn-
dcrstand that parties are m treaty Tor parcel Oh Voo
bags Laguayra which will embrace about all of that
denomination in this market. The arrivals since
our last are 2l53 bags from Laguayra

FISH There has been nothing Of moment done
in Dry Goldfish. MackcrcIare about the same as last
week except No 3, which have been selling at :
per bril-. showing slight decline. Shad are steady
at $625 for No. |, trimmed; and n. Carolina Her
rings 375a $4, and Potomac and SuSquchanna S425,
which is an improvement in the latter.
FLOUR AND MEAL.-The market for Flour
has been steady during the week, but transactions
have been on very limited scde--the total amount
sold for expectation has probably not exceeded 2ooo
brls, about 1900 of which We're Howard street at
$500; the residue City Mills at 1913. Receipts
are quite light; and as the city mills without sup
ply of Wheat and will probably so remain until the
new crop comes forward, TO say nothing about the
few mills IN operation and low streams hutWlthstahu-
any several fine refreshing showers during the week,
there will probably be only moderate stock on sale
for some weeks 10 come. We have no transactions
in Rye Flour, to report; and only about 2oo brlS'
City Mills Corn Meal have sold, taken at ! 200 per
brl. Inspected this week:
Corn Meal, 6l9 brs.-

Urls. of Flour and $50 brls. Corn Meal
FRUIT.-Thc demand for Dried Foreign and Do
nestle Fruit is dull and prices rule low; Tor Green
OF which the market is in fair supply, the demand is
fair. BY auction 10 csks. CurrantS sold at I.Ioa
S7.5n per lOO lbs
GRAlN-Thc receipts of Wheat have again been
limited since our last report not exceeding lut2OVO
bushels and all red, which sold chiefly on Tuesday
and w cdncsday, and comprised Maryland al l.lOc
s4lI5; 1000 bushels New York, rather inferior, nj
O5a LILO; and $500 do. Susquchanna, a portion at
Sll5 the former day, closing on The LATER at
I.lIaSl.l2 per bushcl, thus showing decline
Millers are disposed operate to any extent at
present under such favorable prospects OF the speedy
rcccps of the crop, were there larger sup
plies of old coming forward il late prevailing prices
were commended for. A small cargo OF Pcnna Rye
has sold 10 cts Corn is little lower than when
we made up report this day week; falr 10 prime
white having SOFA AT oJutl, anu wv U.s. NV" ct
45a4b, but at close for strictly prime yellow, were
there any in market, Al cts could probably nave peeh
obtained Oats are lower and inactive, and cannot
be quoted over 32a3i cts.
HEMP.-Thc market is poorly supplied, but the
supply is probably sufficiently large for the demand
A small lot of Western Dew-rotlcd sold tins week
at 81 cts per lb., and the price would be ac-
ceped for the residue.
lIIDES.-Therc have no transactions come within
our knowledge this week.
IRON.-The market for Pig remains inactive.
LEADING note the sale of 1000 pigs soft Mis-
souri AT S3S75 per 100 lbs. mos, adding interest
MOLASSES.-Th market is devoid Of animation;
and the supply at the same time OF good sweet re-
failing qualities is very limited.
NAILS.-The demand is moderate, but prices re-
main unchanged
OILS.-Linsecd is in moderate request, but con
tinues to 90 off at 66a67 cts per gallon IN csks. and
brIs Spcrm is unchanged. Lard Oil Is selling at
81 LAOS cts for prime, at which % brls have been
taken.
PLASTER PARASITIC sales this week have
been steady at $3.50 per ton.
PROVISIONS.-The gradual, and occasionally
more hurried receding of the various descriptions
have contributed to materially reduce stocks and cen
fine them 10 fewer hands, insomuch that at present
the supply has become quite moderate, ana WIN
continued fair demand, receipts are not pcrnittcd 10
accumulate; prices, also, remain firm, and for some
denominations there is slight improvement
Beef-Continucs in limited request, and very lit
tie selling except for ships stores at quotations
PorkgThc stock of Mess has become much re-
dnced by considerable heavy sales within the last
Igdays-in the early part 10 25a $50, and more
recently including 300 brs. on Thursday, at s 10 So
cash: and the day previous, so at = II per bril-,
mos A small lot of Prime has sold at 50, which
is also an advance. The stock of Bulk has become
quite light, and the few sales made have been at
