THE MARKETS.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 3, 1853.

DALIiMoRE, YET. ), 1905.
GRArN.-Tbe receipts and supply of all kinds
of Gram this morning were small About 10000
bushels of Wheat offered on change, ard mostly
sold at 81 So 81 80 for red, to 81 70 ST 45 for
good to prime white. Very choice white Wheat
for family -four 81 At. Inferior lots 3 to 8 cents
below the above figures. There was rather less
frmness at the close. About 10 900 bushels Corn
offered, and mostly sold at IL cents for white and
rs cents for yellow Oats, good to prime Mary
land 40 ~ cents. Virginia Oats 81 40 cents.
GUANo.-The arrival Of two cargoes of Peru
Wan this week caused an active demand from the
agent, but we believe the most of it was engaged
before its arrival. The mode of selling this article
IS Tar from being satisfactory for although it may
secure the farmer against any advance demanded
by sub-agents, the expense and loss of time en-
countered in waiting, with the uncertainty of OBJ
tanning it even after two or three weeks delay, are
greater in some cases than the ub-agent's COM
mission would amount to. few tons procured
by dealers have sold in small lots at $50 65 per
ton of 900 lbs. Small sales of Mexican at $50
per short ton. The imports Of the week are l ,045
tons from Peru.
ToBAcco.-The receipts of Maryland Tobacco
continue moderate, as heretofore, and the active
demand existing allows no stock to accumulate
All that reaches the market sells readily at rates
which are admitted TO be high, especially iol
common sorts. The prices, indeed, are consider,
ed fully as high as the article ever commanded
and planters show disposition to hold back theil
crops, as the rates more likely to decline thar
to advance. Our quotations show the current
| rates Of the market -
Common to good ordinary Maryland, S. 50as6
middlins, S6.25 CTS; good to fine brown S6.75
$50; and fine $3.50 50. Ohio Tobacco i:
also eagerly taken soon sampled, at prices

Mr.. Marcy's language is calm, courteous.
digni6ed-and his arguments overthrow Mr..
Hulsmann's document. as completely as those
Of Mr.. Webster did on former occasion.-
The manly tone of its concluding sentl-
ments. in,imaIing that if reparation or apo
logy is needed on either side, it ought to
come from Austria, and no. from The Uni
ted States, is in stric, accordance with the
popular sentiment as already expressed

The Times thus refers 10 it:
"The Electric telegraph has brought US.

Europe was impa,enlly waiting. The EN-
peror of Russia has rejected the Turkish
mod fcations Of the Mole which he had ac-

An answer in this sense had been despatch
ed from ST. Petersburg In Vienna on the 7h

were stated which would necessarily lead
to further negotiations. The Emperor him
self was TO proceed at once to Worsaw,
where we shall probably very soon hear of
his arrival and on the 23d Of this month
he is to meet the Emperor of Austria al o.

the deep interest Austria has in preserving
peace, tina, it may be able to secure it.

ments:
"According to The general opinion here,
the great Oriental question is very far from
being settled. The Turkish Ministers have
drawn up very neat-a concise-manifes-
to, which they intend TO throw into crcu-
laton, to sppesse the people, who are very
disconnected. The document will inform
the people that the Government has large
stakes in jeopardy, end will protect them
with vigor and energy. Far from consider
ing The question settled, the Turkish Min
listers have just signed contract with an
American company for 100000 winter
closks, to be lined with fur"
The despatch in the London Times is
too vague to authorize confident opinion
as 10 the results which may follow from il,
but the apprehension was certainly gaming

without war.
