REVIEW OF THE
BALTIM o RE M A RKET,


what were the effects upon market of the steam
Cambra's advces of the I'd, from Liverpool,
those of the America, of the 9th inst upon us,
the mail of the latter having to hand yesterday
morning, the steamer reaching Boston Wcdncs-
day. From the letter, of the evening of the Sth, OF
our correspondents, Messrs. Sttt, Day * Co., we
extract copiously, as follows
Bdc0R.-With liberal supplies of low qualities,
rather lower rates. by Is to- IS have been accepted,
and fair amount of business has been passing, fine
qualities continuing to command most attention.
Hams sell at a wide range, according to cut, cure,
and condition, dos. having been realised for small
parcel of fine Shoulders in moderate demand,
but meat sells slowly
Buttcr.-Clean Irish Grease has sold at 4Os; and
at about 3Os. there is an enquiry for American.
Corn, Sc.-This week has been without any
marked change in the Corn market, and our quota
tions remain without alteration, the business being
TO fair ordinary extent, and further decline in prices
checked by country millers and dealers purchasing.
Wheat and Flour with rather confidence. In
dian Corn has been in less active demand for Ireland
but in the absence of any large supplies prices have
been supported The weather continues to be most
favorable for own harvest prospects, and rumors
of temperance of the putatoe disease do not
confirmed. At Corn Exchange to-day very
limited amount of business was passing in all arti-
Giles. Wheat could be bought at decline of ID, and
none but the finest qualities of Flour met any enqui-
ry, with very few transactions. Indian Corn was
held at previous prices, at which it met a limited
5,
to a moderate extent, at full prices
COttOn.-The import of the week is ,40l bales
sales S2O and present stock 66S, 800 bales against
510,950 at corresponding date last year. Under the
influence of favorable advices from India assisted bv
the intelligence per Hbcrnd, relative to the pros
poets of the growing crop in the States, this week
has been the most active witnessed in our market
since February; and the sales of w ednesday amount
ed to 10000 bales at advance of ID u Id. on
common qualities This improved feeling has been
well maintained, and the sales to-day $1,000
bales at the highest rates of the week, one half
being on speculation. The better qualities of Cot
ton are in fair demand, but do not command any ma
terial advance.
Lard.-Sales to the extent of about so tons are
reported at steady prices and holders firm; but
no advance can he anticipated while Butter, Tai
low, and Palm Oil continue to rule low
Money! .lIarket.-COnsols closed to-day, in Lon
don, at 9ls for money and time. Exchequer Bills,
45s. to ass. premium.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-B Business is very

BEESWAX-There is no improvement in the
market, and no sales have come within our know
ledge.

about 500 bags Old Government Java, part of a re-
cent importation from Holland, at 9!ag3 cts. u h.,

prices further declined, and $50 accepted for
