BALTIMORE MARKET,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED HEREWITH
For the ITeek ending last even1ng.
REMARKS.-The steamer Acadia arrived at
Boston last Tuesday, having left Liverpool 9th ult,
10 which date she has brought letters and papers;
the purport of which, far regards the markets
in England for Breadstulls, is not encouraging to
holders this side, although by the reduction OF
prices there, the condition of the suffering poor-and
there many of them-wlll become, probably less
inense.-The remarks of our correspondents, made
at the latest moment, at Liverpool, are as follow
(From Stitt, Day s. Co ICY it'll a thin attendance
of buyers a very limited business transacted to-
day, a still further decline on all prices, except
for the finest samples OF Wheat. Western Canal
Flour was freely offered at 29s.; 32S.6d. an cX-
IRENE figure for Indian Corn; and the best Northern
Corn Meal was without buyers at l4' 3D." (from
Brown, Shplcy & Co.)-''The Corn markets are
very heavy and considerable supplies now arriving
at this port from ireland Of Wheat Oats, Meal, &c,
larger believe than at any period for the past
eighteen months. Indian Corn has consequently de,
clincd to 29a32s per quarter and Indian Corn Meal
to l4al4s. cd. per bril- The best fresh Western
Canal Flour is quoted 29s per bril-, but sells only in
retail way at this rate; and probably might b.
bought in quantity at 23s Cd. Philadelphia and Bal
timore 27s. 6d.G2Ss.; sour 23a25s. per bril-"
The accounts by the Acadia reached here par
tally by telegraph Wednesday, and the coISc-
qucnce TO unscttlc and reduce the Flour market
and when the steamers mail came TO hand, the next
day, the previous unfavorabc advces were not only
confirmed, but were still discouraging to sell
crS, and produced quit. apathy in the market
We refer the several articles below for partlcu-
lars.
The weather still continues remarkably mild, but
business in general is inactiyc rendered, probably
more than peculiarly so from the difficulty of obtain
ing money facilities for the purpose OF operating be-
yond very limited extent.

remained steady from the close of last week until
Tuesday, with moderate sales of Howard street at

of a decline in the English market, prices here i'm
mcdiatcly gave way, and there were free sellers at
$3.50 per bril-, at which about 1000 brs sold in lots,
on that and the following day, and more could have
been had, but purchasers were not disposed to ope-
rate TO any extent until more fully informed. Yes
tcrday we were not advised Of any sales There is
nothing doing in City Mills, owing to the very limit
ed supply, but millrrs appear disposed to sell at So
although as the price OF Wheat rules they could not
replace the article for less. We refer to the inspec-
tons below to show the falling off, which in the ag
grcgate is about 1000 brlS from last week, and l9OO
