REVIEW OF THE
BALTIM o RE M "A RI ET,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREwITn,)
For The Week ending last eoenjng.

REMARKS.-The business of the week gener-
ally has been limited scale; and in branches
great dizziness has prevailed. The low stage of the
Western rivers has prevented much Produce from
coming forward that is much wanted, while on
the other hand Groceries and many articles of Mdze
are detained here at points of transit which are
greatly needed to supply Western customers. We
look, however, Tor the month of October, now at
hand to be more liberal in her favors

were circulated through this city on Thursday by
the morning papers, but they excited very little in
iluence on our market Her dates to 18th inst,
the day she left Liverpool. The sales Of Cotton for
the week amounted to 81 100 bales The commit
tees, quotations s. for fair Upland and Mobile,
and SID. for fair Orleans. The stock on hand was
539,45 bales, against 555, 23O the time last
year The sales of Breadstuis were large, and trade
