REVIEW OF THE
BALTIMORE MAR kE 7 ,

REMARKS.-Thc business of the week, except
as regards Breadstus and Meats, has been dull the
market being poorly supplied with Foreign Produce;
and were il otherwise the state OF the markets gen.
orally at home and abroad appear TO present no Hcld
for extensive operations.
The British steamer Acadia arrived at Boston last
Sunday morning, having left Liverpool on the 9Th at
noon; but aside from the Commercial character the
adyices v her are not Immediately interesting, IN
asmuch as they present pretty nearly the same poll
teal features those by the late previous arrivals
The apparently careless manner IN when the hrst
telegraphic dispatches were communicated, stating
material decline in Breadstuts III the English mar
ket induced holders sell at considerably less prices
than they would have been justified III dong, and
than what they could have Obtained hao 'he ihiora
ton been correct the sequel subsequently proved
after they had sustained the loss. Flour IN Liver
pool was 33a34s per bril- for Western Canal, and 81
a33s for Baltimore, &c; Wheat, Is 3D. per ~ lbs
for red Indian Corn, 3iG3bs per 4oo IDS ana lhda
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-Busncss is i'm
proving and the transactions OF the week have been
quite fair. , r.
some months past without activity-a light stock, and
prices ruling low.
BREAD.-We have nothing new to report except
that there has been less activity in the demand
within the last two or three weeks than Bakers have
hitherto for some considerable time at least, been
accustomed to experience.
CANDLES-Arc without alteration IN prices, and
Sperm and Mould raow in fair demand.
COFEEE-The transactions of the week have
comprised about 5000 bags Rio, at 6d66 cts per ID,
mos; and as the arrivals from foreign ports have
been only equivalent TO 40 bags and anont ooUo on
hand previously it will BE- seen that the stock IN
first hands is quite light. We cannot think there is
decline in price, because no sale is reported over
g. whereas last week g. cts. were paid, bnt there
have been more willing sellers probably this week,
and the quality of the Coffee somewhat different
COTTON.We note sales of 472 bales, including
Upland at 7ia73, and New Orleans = cts per ib''
mos. coo
1000 lbs each sold during the week at prices rang
ing from 30 to 80 per lb, cash, the latter Tor
prime.
tibe change i'm any denominations and the arrivals OF
Mackerel have been TO fair extent. NO. s are the
most active at ia S4.25 per brl.
FLOUR AND MEAL-Thc (again) inaccurate
telegraphic report of the Acadia's advccs, which
were promulgated here last Monday, put down the
price of Flour % cts per bril-, and iUOO or more DIS
of Howard street sold at 50 per bril-; out on me re-
cept of further and correct mail accounts ON lues-
day. prices rallied, and holders were enaocd 10 Cd
tain moety of their loss although the operations
were not large; on Wednesday, however, another
sequence, still favorable, IN the shape OF some
thing later by way OF private letters &C. came 10
hand, and while the other moicty was thereby thus
readily obtained, the transactions were hcaVy at
$685. and this price continued until Thursday win
more BUYERS than sellers at that price alihough ABOUT
1000 brls were taken Yesterday holders contend
ed for further advance, but without ehcctlng It,
The sales of the week reached about oOOO brls CITY
Mills subjected to the same prccipitahcy III price
as Howard street but the decline greater, as 1t
fell from 5.374 to So, at which, on Monday, 1900
brls. sold; on Tuesday, 5000 at $5l25; and SINCE
1000 at $5.25. Yesterday it was offered at the lat
ter but no sale had been effected when we lett the
