BALTIMORE, October Is, 1858.
The Stock market has been exceedingly quiet
this week, and the transactions have been smaller
than for a long time past amounting in the aggre-
gate to only about $780, 900, and showing falling
off since last week of Sll5 000 Stocks of all kinds
however, have been firm, and we note an advance
of about 81 per share in Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road since Friday of last week. This stock opened
on Saturday last with sales at S5512 buyer days,
S55M regular way, and improved regularly through
out the week. To-day the market was quite ac-
tive, SO shares selling at S59@S59H buyer GO and
81 days, and S59 regular way and short time con-
tracts, closing at S5SA bid, $50 asked regular way,
. higher than yesterday. The sales during the
week are rather upwards of 800 shares. North
ern Central has been very quiet the total sales of
the week reaching only 64l shares. Prices have
advanced about i since last week, the sales to day
comprising 135 shares at S2l1s buyer 60 and S2l
regular way, leaving off at S2024 bid, S2l asked,
cash, showing no change since yesterday. Bank
Stocks are quiet and firm, with very little doing
this week. Such sales made were at fully
former rates. To-day there was nothing DONE
Canton has advanced fully 81 since last week. The
only sale this week so shares buyer 80 days at
Sl9M 1t closed to-day without transactions at
$50 bid, cash. Springfield Mining has been quiet,
$2.3l being bid to-day with S212 asked.
In State Loans we are without any transactions
to report. For Maryland 6's, 1890, SlO515 was bid
Baltimore city 6s steady, $66S 1905 selling to-
day at 9S1@, the advance for the week being about
=. Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bonds firm
and also show an advance of about 15. There were
transactions today for lS67's 81 bid 1858
S5l9 bid; 1ss0's 81 bid 1855 S25s bid, S3 asked.
Northern Central 1855 closed firmly to-day at GS
bid, at which rate they have been steady through
out the week. North Western Virginia have ad-
vanced, $4,000 lst mortgage selling, to-day at 9S14;
for unendorsed Sd mortgage 80 was bid.
We have no change to note in the Money market
this week. The offerings at the Banks are very
moderate and all good paper is readily discounted.
The street rate for first class endorsed paper is
per cent, and for second class S09 per cent. Call
loans prime colatcrals are easily negotiated at
per cent.
The total value of the foreign exports from the
port of Baltimore for the week ending on Thursday,
is SlS3, $40, included in which are G,7lS bbs -four
1850 bbs. corn meal, SO bushels corn, and $40
hhds. tobacco. There was no wheat exported. The
total value Of foreign imports for the week is $780,
GA, of which Sis, $50 were free goods and SOS O5i
dutiable.
The New York stock market shows very little
change to-day but it closed weak. New York
Central fell off &; Reading 5s; Cleveland and To-
lcdo q Rock Island 4 Michigan Southern Is I;
and Harlem l. Both Erie and Panama were steady
at yesterdays prices.
The New York Tribune of to-day says:
The money market exhibits increased ease The de-
mand for first class paper is far in of the supply,
* at tl,a,l
been ruling We hear of exceptional transactions low
as per cent but the current rates 3di per cent
The leading stock houses have money offered them
at these rates than they can safely and proftably
First class paper four and six months is easily passed
4G5 many Of the banks being buyers these
rates Some very leading sixty days acceptances have
been passed at 3per cent. 1t appears to be ad
mited fact that the present easy state Of the financial
world will continue until next Spring if not until 1850.
In regard to Dry Goods, Tile Independent says:
The demand for goods during the last two weeks has
been steady without great activity The city iobbers
busy and have been replenishng their stocks with
the most desirable goods There have been greater pur
chases made by Western merchants which has been n
feature of the week French dress silks good
mand as well the best styles of robes Ribbons also
have been in greater request in Fall styes-red purple
and hluc-athough prices yet low Woolen goods
all in super abundant stock with light demand and much
heaviness in price The impOrtatOns keep while there
is no lach OF foreign goods whatever there be of
TONER'S The imporations of cotton goods compare
veiy ghc while those Of silk and woolens are very
large For the month of September, the value of silk
fabrics imported 50 677 ZOO that of wooens 81
~; while that of ceton goods only 1881 692. In
domestic goods there has been considerable movement
but the week closed with diminished activity. Cotton
goods less steady in price Prints and deaines sell
readily Desirable styles and qualities of fancy cassmeres
are sought AFTER and command good prices but others
dull and heavy The supply is large. Business from this
date will, as usual decline rapidly
The London Times of 10Th September says:
In American securities there a recovery of 50 in IL
nois Central; New York and Erie and Pennsylvania Cen
trail were likewise better. rise of per cent occurred
i'll New Brunswick Government Bonds. No bargains were
recorded in Atlantic Telegraph but the nominal quotation
improved to $50 360.
