THE MARK ETS.
BALTIMORE, September II, 1854.

baltimore, September IL, 1854.
FLoUR.-We have very little change to note in
the condition of the Flour market since Saturday.
Tine rain yesterday is thought not to have been
sufficiently extensive to occasion permanent
raising OF the streams, and Flour consequently
continues pretty firm. We note sales to-day Of
700 bbls Howard Street Flour, mostly for Eastern
markets, at SO. City Mills Flour is hardly as firm
as on Saturday. Some parties having contracts
for this description due on the 18th were offering
to sell for that date at IS So but there were no
parties on Change ready to buy at that figure
There is very little City Mills Flour to be had for
immediate delivery, nearly all the millers having
contracted ahead. The telegraph despatch from
New York received on late Change announced
decline in prices there, and the market here clos
ed heavy at the quotations.
GRAN-The receipts of Grain of all descrip-
tons at the Corn Exchange this morning
fair and altogether the demand was not active.
The market was firm, and Saturday IS prices were
well sustained. a..
Uheat.-The demand for Wheat to-day was
prime ipally from the millers. Some 1900 bush
els were at market, large part of which was
disposed OF before the close of early Change at
about Saturdays prices. Reds sold at JG5 a 176
cts good to prime quality, and small lot of very
choice do for seed brought 100 cts. White Wheat
sold at 158 165 cts for ordinary to fair parcels;
l65 IT'S cts for fair to good do; 175a185 cts for
good to prime do; and 1870 cts for some choice lots
suitable for family -four. lot Of 500 bushels of
very choice white Wheat, for seed, sold to-day at
205 cts. The receipts of Corn were about $4,000
bushels The market was rather dull, and the
sales were not heavy.
Cor7a-Good white Corn brought so 80 cts,
and fly cut do. 75a77 cts. Yellow do sold at Goa
IS cts.
Oats-sales of Maryland and Virginia at 4S
a 81 cts per bushel.
From the American Of Saturday last.l
= GUANo.-The agent of the Peruvian Govern
ment has reduced the price of Peruvian Guano
about IS per ton. The sales from stores are now
making at S51 for to 10 tons; and $50 for 10
tons and upwards. Sales of African at S35, and
of Mexican at sos S35, according to quality, all
per long ton. The season for using this fertilizer
is now approaching, and the demand bids fair to
be very active. The import this week is go tons
from Peru. and GAS tons from Mexico.
ToBAcco.-There is rather more doing in Mary
land Tobacco this week, purchasers taking nearly
all that reaches the market. We correct our
Quotations, especially in regard to the lower qua
!, lites, viz:
Inferior to common Maryland S5.50aSG; good
common to midding, S6.25aS6.75, and good to
fine brown S7aS9.
There is much apprehension in regard to the
effect of the dry weather on the growing crop, but
we hear Of no speculative movements, shippers
) contending that the price in this country is too
high and in Europe too low to offer inducements
to purchase. All the reports in regard to the
OHIO crop are also most dlscouraging, but no dis
position is eyinced to speculate in this description
The inspections of the week comprise SS7 hhds.
