REVIEW OF THE
BALTIM 0 RE M a Rk EFT.
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED TnEREwITH,)
For the Week ending last evening.

market has been generally quiet and we have
therefore very lew operations to note Besides, many
of businessmen at present out of the city.
9Y.Our tables of Inspections and Import, not being
perfect this week, we have concluded to omit par
tial statement, and defer them until our next, and
then to comprise the two weeks, terminating with
our usual day of the week, which the circumstance
above referred to has interrupted.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-The transactions
regards sales have been quiet, but much activity
is going forward by merchants in replenishng their
assortmcnts preparatory to a good Fall business.
BARK.-'rhe market for Querctron has been fair
recently, and prices steady at 25a SIG " ton.
BEESWAX-Is still in limited request, and
prices UNMARRIED
BREAD.-The demand for shipment is moderate,
but prices remain steady at quotations.
CANDLES.-Priceso of all denominations are firm,
but transactions are on limited scale.
COFFEE.-Hoders continue very firm at an adj
vance recent rates, which has contributed to
check operations There have been 700 bags Java
received from ROTTERDAM since our last report, and
coming in a bare market for that description is
held at 10f cts, which is ct. advance the clos
ing rate of last week.
COTTON.-The transactions Of the week have
been of a limited character; the steady advancing
rates at which sales have been made in England,
well at the export markets at home have induced
holders here to put up prices, and under these con-
sideratons spnners only purchase to supply imedi-
diate wants
FEATHERS.- We note the sale of a large par
Gel of Western, of rather ordinary quality, at 81 cts
90 b., cash. Good to prime sell at - q "a cts, but
the market is not brisk.
FISH.-'rhc business at this season is generally
dull and few operations taking place except in
small way. We have no alteration in prices OF mo-
ment to note.
FLOUR AND MEAL.-Without much anima-
ton the Flour market has remained pretty steady at
last weeks closing prices, sales of fresh ground and
preferred brands of Howard Street commanding 5G
SPA, while for stale to fresh inspected lots a less
price has been accepted Although we have recently
had some refreshing showers, they have not been
sufficiently general and copious to swell the streams,
and the grinding by the mllcrs is inadequate to the
supply of the demand made upon them; this, with
the small receipts and advance of wheat, contribute
to keep up prices of City Mills, and although some
further engagements have been made at S525,
Others not disposed at to previous
contracts, unless at advance. The transactions
of the week have not been heavy. We have no
sales Of Rye Flour to report; and the market is
nearly quite bare of Corn Meal We have not
received the inspections for this fraction of week,
but will give them distinct in next publication.
GRAIN-W heat comes forward slowly and in
limited supply, in consequence of which an advance
of 364 cts. up bushel has been established. The
range of prices paid for red has been l a 03
for ordinary, and 1.O5d 81 .O9 for good to prime,
casionally cent more FOR n strictly prime lot.
