REVIEW OF THE
BALTIM o RE M A RKE
AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED rnEaEwlrn0
For the Hceb ending last eoening.

RENIARKS.-The business of the week has not
been distinguished by any feature in particular,
sales of Domestic Produce have been making pretty
much at last weeks prices, but their change, if any,
will be noticed under their respective heads. In
Foreign, there is less trnncss in Sugars; but aside
from this, we do not think there is any alteration
The steamer America arrived at Halifax on Thurs
tay morning. ana her tclegraphed adyiccs were pub
lished here in yesterday mornings papers. They
are not very interesting. So far as relates to their
political character the most important Is the dismis
sal or resignation of the French Cabinet, induced
from dissemination on the part Of Ministers to sus-
tain the President in his views relative to some
question concerning Rome.
In regard to commercial matters, there was little
or no Improvement in the Liverpool market: Cot
ton was in less demand and prices I'd. lower, the
sales of the week comprising $4,000 bales, OF which
spectators took $500 of American, and exporters
730. Fair Upland and Mobile were quoted cd, and
Orleans Gld.-Flour and Corn were exceedingly dull
and prices a shade lower Flour quoted pa
Dis for Western Canal, and 23s. 6id2is for Balti-
more. Indian Corn, p a 2Js Tor white, and y a 2Ss.
for yellow Provisions remained pretty steady and
considerable business going forward. Bacon
was looking up, while Beef was looking down.
Nothing doing in Pork or Lard.
BARK -Quercitron is in good demand and sells
at $50 S3S P ton, in bags and hhl9.
BEESWAX.-rhc market continues in moderate
supply and sales are made the article is wanted at
% and for desirable lots, occasionally, 224 cts = h.,
cash.
BREAD.-W are without any alteration to re-
port the demand continues fair and prices steady.
CANDLES We noticed in last the i'm
provement in Sperm and Adamanne descriptions,
the former now selling at 10, and the latter at 80
cts u b. Mould Tallow without alteration,
but steady at 120 l2i cts. for City manufactured.
COFFEE.-Thc weeks transactions have been
large, comprising about 1000 bags Rio at 100 03
cts " h., i mos. At the latter was included the
cargo of 2lOO bags per bark Roanoke, Just arrived,
which had been previously advertised to be sold by
auction, but Withdrawn. The market is very firm;
and from these large sales and the reduced stock,
together with the accounts to the list October oi a
much shorter crop than previously expected in
Rio Janeiro, the tendency to an advance is looked
upon with much probability. Arrived this week
from foreign ports 500 bags.
COPPER.-Ths market is subject to very little
change in any descriptions, and the sales making are
at steady prices as quoted in the table. Taunton
Yellow Metal continues in good demand, and further
sales have been made Of several suits for Sheathing
at IS cts. IL b., mos. English is held at the same
price.
COTTON.-There is still further improvement
in prices, and the sales during the week have com
prised 500 bales of mid. to fair Upland and New Or
leans at II a 13 cts ~ b., 6 mos. Yesterday there
was nothing done, buyers refusing to operate unless
some concession submitted to. The stock on
hand is about 1000 bales.
DRUGS, &c.-Maddcr has improved in demand
ID price, and considerable sales have been made at
9Ad9s cts ~ ID, usual time.
FEATHERS.-We note further sales of 3G 1909
lbs in lots fair to good Western at 33 80 cts. U h.
cash Prime are worth sea 81 cts.
FISH.-There have been sales of Dry Goldfish
for export, within the range Of our quotations.
Mackercl have further slightly advanced notwith-
standing the previous high rates, bat the demand OF
course has become considerably checked. We quote
as follow: No. 3, 6 a $3.50; No. ,, SS75; and No. |
1880 r. bril-, very few of the latter here.
FLOUR AND MEAL.-Flour has continued to
maintain the uniform price of ~ " bril-, both for
Howard street and City Mills, and the demand has
been fair the streams having been literally augment
ed by recent rains, thereby enabling mllers to GRIND
more extensively and earlier fultil their previous
contracts. The weeks transactions have probably
reached 5000 brls. for export, comprising about equa
portions of Howard street and City Mills. Rye
Flour is nominally 3.25d s3.37l, but dali of sale
City Mills Corn Meal has sold at S5.124, although
by Others r3 D is demanded. Inspected this week
Corn Meal, SS5 brls., 20 Inf. brls-
