BALTIMORE, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER /, 1s4e

in first and second hands, being very heavy and the
import continuing excessive till May, prices gradual
" declined, with moderate sales, to l5j00d lG5O0
for Richmond, 13HjOOa IAN for Baltimore. Since
then the imports being moderate prices have recov
cred a litlle and Richmond NAV he quoted at
In n ISL, almost nominal. Baltimore ALA 1911. As
the bakers hold large stocks, although the import
last month was but 1874 brls and but little expect
ed cannot look for amy material improvement
the present supply is nearly equal to the con-
sumption previous to the arrival OF the new crop,
and the bakers Of late wears will not at this
hold any stocks. Neither can we expect any relief
from export demand all the Southern markets
being largely supplied.
DOnlestiCS.-1he large stocks on LIST January
induced some auction sales which went off at very
low prices. The imports having been rather mode
rate, prices rather better, and blue drills may
now be quoted at 25O6 26O; brown do. 2O0d 2Oj; r.
stripes 220 80 inch shirtngs 1854 10. The stock is
about 1000 packages. Sales limited, the
English limitations interfere more than ever.
Ca1idies.-The old stock being used up, and the
import very limited prices have at least recovered,
and sales OF Sperm have been made at ST. and are
in demand.
Lu,nJer.-The large import of American, and
also of Swedish, has kept the market very low,
and had it not been for export demand, it would
have been lower than ever known. The last sale
Of American at $50 ~ NJ, and Swedish, well
assorted, SO u doz. Deals Of If feet. a large
quantity Oh Deals nave DCen received ana
quite unsalcable.
ROSiH.-Thc import having been very moderate,
PRICES have gradually improved, the last sale being
at 50. 1t is wanted.
PrOUiSiOnS-Have been more in demand, and high
prices obtained for the sEall parcels arriving
and landed from vessels bound to California. The
market is now well supplied, and Beef and Pork
cannot be quoted at over SOL The arrivals OF Lard
very heavy, and sales made $50 rs
it has since recovered and the last sales were at 800
Lard in kegs is preferred to the refined in tins.
Hams have been much wanted and good lots have
been sold at 400 rs.
COdfSh.-The supply has been abundant, and of
late, of rather inferior quality, which has reduced
the prices-the last sales being at SIl 81. Good
quality would still bring lola Ill.
VaE.-The imports from all quarters have been
large, and prices have ruled lower than for some
time, and may be quoted at 700 rs.
IObdccO.-The market has been abundantly sup
piled with all sorts, and sales now difficult.
None but the very best qualities Of cigar leaf should
be sent, and only in small parcels. The last sales
of good have been at 12Hd l4I. Plug 800 RS.
The market for all imports has been very dull,
| and the trade generally more unsatisfactory than
for some time past. This state will only be cor
rected BY moderate imports, which we have for some
time advised, and we are happy to see about being
put into effect.
CoHee.-The prospect of settlement of the
Danish question, and favorable accounts from Eu-
rope Joined with moderate supplies and short crop,
have caused the article to be in brisk demand, at
improving prices, which alone have been checked
by the breaking out of the war in the Duchies.
There is still fair demand for the south Of Europe
and United States fully equal to the supplies, which
are very moderate, and will continue to be so
throughout the season; 1t is now ascertained be-
| yond doubt that the crop will not average
even half of the previous one but there Is some
old Coffee still remaining in the interior, we esti-
mate that the export of the coming year may reach
100000, say 100000 bags; but the prevalent opn-
ion is that it will be 100000. The receipts
of new coffee very limited, but of good quality.
Superior is in demand at 3Id 3II200; good frsts
| $500 at 81. The stock does not exceed $4,000
bags, mostly ordinary. Should peace be restored to
the North of Europe, prices will advance consider
! ably, as the orders very extensive.
The export in June 93,70i bags of which
| 1904 went to the United States.
BY the tables below it will be seen that the fall
ing off in the crop of 1S4S is 1884 bags compared
with the crop of 1917 and it would have been still
! greater had not the advance in prices taken place
the increase to the United States being 17,244 bags
and decrease to Europe POO, 677 bags The increas-
ed export to New Orleans and Mobile 55,06l
bags of the crop of lS4S and the decrease to the At
lantc ports 27,Sl7, compared to the crop of 1Sl7.
The decrease to the Atlantic ports, the past six
months, has been 56,275 bags.
The export of five crop years to the United States
has been as follows 1914 49l 523 bags, 7S5,000,OOC
lbs; 1915, 679S02 bags, 1,07S,00o, 900 lbs; lS46
6S4,b3l bags. l,OJluuuWO lbs; lS4I, I0J,II5 bags
,207 100000 lbs. 1913, 1907 bags, 235 0OU
! lbs.
! Hdes.-The shipments to the United States the
past six months have been 109,75l. The stocks are
now quite reduced, and those suitable held firm
| " at l50d l55. All the accounts from the South
agree in stating that the stocks very small and
receipts limited prices, both in Rio Grande and
BucnoS Ayres, Were advancing, costing OH board
| from u to S cts
FrcightS have ruled very low till the past month,
| when 70aS0 cents paid for American vessels
to United States-only good vessel is uncngaged
and he at 80 cents.
Exchange advanced from 2ild. on the list Janu-
airy, to 26ld in April it has since declined and has
been done regularly at Esd.
