THE MARKETS..
BALTIMORE, December IL, 1854.

BALTIMORE, December IL, 1854.
FLoUR.-There active demand for Flour
to-day, and sales of Howard Street were made at
So so, being an advance of IL l-2 cts from the
price realized on Saturday. City Mills Flour was
sold at IS 25, the same figure as at the close Of
late Change on Saturday, but decline of IL l2
cts from the price obtained for parcel on Satur-
day morning. There great anxiety to-day
on the part of either buyers sellers to operate
to any great extent, as most parties preferred to
wait the arrival of the steamer now nearly due.
GRAIN.-The receipts of Grain this morning
were much larger than they have been for some
DAYS past about % 900 bushels of Wheat, Is, 600
bushels of Corn and 1900 bushels of Oats being
at market.
Uheat.-For Wheat the demand was very brisk,
and most of the parcels offered were taken at fully
Saturdays prices. Fair to prime reds sold at $50
al95 cts, good to prime whites at 100000 cts, and
choice parcels of do. suitable for family -four, at
20la205 cts. The latter is the highest figure
realised for Wheat since the coming forward Of
the new crop, if we except some parcels sold in
September for seed, which brought the same
figures.
Corn-Corn was also in brisk demand at high
prices. The bulk of the Corn now comming for
ward is of new crop, the receipts of old Corn be-
ing quite limited. We note sale this morning of
old fy-cut white Corn at 70 cts. New Corn sold
at 76a7S cts for mixed, 79aS0 cts for white and
S3as3 1-2 cts for yellow.
Oats-Sales of Maryland and Virginia at 45a50
cts. per bushel.
From the American of Saturday lastl
ToBAcco.-There is a moderately active de-
mand for Maryland crop Tobacco, and the receipts
find ready sale at former rates which are fully sup
ported. There are, however, fewer purchasers
in market, the lateness of the season for shipping
having caused some buyers to withdraw. There
is very little inquiry for Ground Leaf, and we are
without transact ons to report, holders being very
indifferent about selling in consequence of the de-
cline noticed last week of so cts. per 100 lbs. in
the lower qualities. For Maryland crop Tobac-
co we quote as before:
Inferior to common Maryland S5.50aS6; good
common to mddling, $6.25aS6.75, and good to
fine brown S7aS9.
The inspections of the week comprise 264 hhds
MARYLAND, and II hhds. Ohio; and l25 hhds Ken

taken ell tho necessary steps to carry into

Of January session. 1854. 1t becomes the
duty Of the Trustees thus sppoin,eJ, imme-
dIslely to enter with zeal and efficiency up.
on the performance Of their very impor.sn.
duties. The first is to secure the services
Of we'll qualified Teachers, and to insuuc,
them low to obtain the certificates Of quail
fcslion TO en,i,le them TO The salaries pro-
vided by law. The mex! step. is to see ,ha.
the school houses are in proper condition
to be comfortable. and supplied with bench
es, " God, &c. The mex, is TO ascertain The
number of children from 5 years Of sge in
each school disIric. end report them to the
Commissioners, IS also the number Of pupils
who will regularly attend school, and fur
nlsh q correct list OF those who are in ihelr

WITCH IsLANDs.-The Alta California has
the following important news from the Sand

The treaty of annexation has been signed
BY King Kemehameha and the principal mo-

promise TO Prince Alexander that he would
wait his return from neighboring island
before the treaty should be definitely settled.
The officers of The Susquehanna are Of the
opinion that annexation is rather popular
than o'berw Use among The natives. 1t appears,
however, that Llhllibo, who was a, the head
of the opposition to this measure, gave his
consent a few days before the sailing of The
Susquehanna. The only difficulty .ha, now
remains to the complete se,.lemen. Of this
subject is whether the Islands shall be adj
