Trade of Baltimore,

The Baltimore american publishes statistical
details of the trade. commerce and navigation
of Baltimore during the year 1853, from which
we make the following abstract
The total amount of the Coffee imported last
yenr. was 20s,792 bags. all of which have been
sold except 10000 bags, of which only looo bags
are in the hands of importers
The inspections of Leather Indicate very
largely increased business in this useful commo-
| dity. The total number of Sides Inspe tied was
t65 l7s. The increase is about 10000 sides over
the manufacture of 1852 which is large, consid-
ering the scarcity and high price of the raw ma
terial.
The most remarkable fact presented IN these
statistics is in regard to the trade in Flour aud
| Wheat as compared with the year 1852 1t APP
| pears that the inspections OF Wheat Flour III
1853 amounted to l,23i,7i5 barrels, being less
thnn in 1852 by about q, 800 barrels. The fall
ing off occurred previous to the coming in of the
new crop. when prices ruled at low figures
Since the month of July the European demand
caused rather more tban the average quantity to
be brought 10 market. The total amount of Wheat
brought to that market during 1888 was j.
III 800 bushels, which is slight FILLING OIL com
pared with the previous yenr Stock held by
millers Dee 81, 1858, was 2I0, 900 bushels against
800 600 bushels held at the same time in ls52.--
The receipts of Corn, however, are 3,9O6,l9l
bushels against 3,7l5,9O0 bushels in 1852.
The stock Of leaf tobacco in the State ware
houses on the LIST of January, ls53' was ll,9oo
hhds The inspections during the year amount
ed to IL 667 hhds, which, added TO the stock ON
hand January lst 1853 together with the re-
eeipts from the district of Columbia, mot in
spected, J 800 hhds makes the total supply 6l,227
hhds. OF this quantity there have been shipped
50.6sS hhds., leaving stock on hand lst inst'' H.
SO hhds. (ineuding go hhds. on ship board not
cleared, being l,i2l hhds. less than the stock
of the same date last year. The exports show a
decrease compared with those of 1852 of ll23
hhds.. being principally in the shipments to l5re-
men, France and England, whilst to Holland
there is an increase of 3,s35 hhds. The inspec-
tons from January lst to Dec. 81, 1853 were of
the following sorts: Maryland, 29,2l5 hhds.;
| Ohio, l7,9I7; Kentucky, 1880; Virginia, 20 :
! PENNSYLVANIA, II. The exports in 1853 were to
the following points: To Bremen, 1892 hhds.;
Amsterdam, $3.50; Rotterdam, 1895; France,
$3.50; Trieste, 1919, England, 2,77} all other
hhds.
We learn from the most reliable data, that the
crop of Maryland for ls5i will not exceed $4,000
hhds., ar about 5000 hhds. less than that of the
| previous year
In Ohio the new crop was estimated in the err
ly part of the fall at about 1900 hhds hut it is
now believed that the receipts next year will not
exceed 1900 hhds., or less than half an average
crop. Should France require only half her usual
supply in 1854, and no European war exist, high
prices, the American thinks, mny be calculated
upon. The receipts Of Kentucky this year have
| been ABOUT twice MS large as those of Io1e.
In allusion to this subject and the prospect of
an increased tobacco trade, the Baltimore Pa
riot says "ln the Western part Of this State the
production of very superior kind of tobacco is
greatly on the increase, since the introduction of
the use of guano fertilizer. The facilities
of transportation from the west, and the adyanta-
ges of climate together with the moderate char
ges in this city for inspection and storage, will
no doubt draw hther large quontalies of this
staple that now seek other markets."
We quote in full from the American the fol-
lowing remarks in regard to the guuno trade
There have been imported into the United
States during the year 1853 in iO7 vessels, 90
$50 tons of Peruvian Guano; of which 80 vessels
have arrived at Baltimore, aud 81 vessels at other
ports. The imports at this port in 1852 were
2550O tons of Peruvian, aud in 1853 they were
- ld2 tons--an increase of 6,652 tons. The
first mportations ia 1910 amounted to only :,
! 700 tons. Recently discovered deposites of other
descriptions of this excellent fertilizer have at
tracted the attention of some of our importers.and
there has been quite considerable quantity OF
| Mexican received at Baltimore during the last
three months, amounting in all to about 1000
tons, including several cargoes from the Carib-
bean Sea. With regard to Peruvian, it is hcev-
ed arrangements have been effected for arg,
u supply hereafter that farmers will not again be
