. BALTIMORE MARKET, Mon. 20.


The Brittania's accounts, which reached
Baltimore last Saturday, had sufficient time
to operate by Monday morning, when mil
lers and dealers advanced prices about 90
cents per barrel, but were unable TO effect
any thing of moment Some sales of City
Mills and Howard street were made at an
advance of'25 10 81 l-2 cents, but the mar
ket was heavy, and not over $6 % could be
obtained, which is about the market rates.


The people of the Western states will be
particularly benefited by the advance in
prices for bread stuffs. The crops of Michi-
gan, Illinois, Indiana, and Arkansas, have
been immense this year. The wheat crop
OF Michigan alone is estimated as high as
100000 Of bushels, equal to one and a
half million barrels of flour. The wheat crop
Of Indiana is estimated at 100000 bushels,
the value Of which, compared with last year,
would pay the interest for one year on the
state debt. The wheat crop of Illinois, this
year, will be double that of last, according
to the estimates. This year the value will
be at least seven millions of dollars, an in
crease Of about four millions


The immense receipts of produce this
year will not benefit the consumer much, as
the external demand takes off the surplus,
which will reduce the sock very rapidly
when the supplies cease. The foreign de-
mand is at present limited, compared to what
it doubtless will be beforespring opens. The
high prices and great scarcity of sound po-
tatoes will increase the consumption Of flour
among the middle and higher classes of So
ciety, and consequently increase the price.
This Market through the winter will rule
very high, and it is our present opinion that
shipments Of flour will be made from this
port to Liverpool and London, at prices full
one dollar per barrel higher than those now
ruling.--.New York Herald. sa.
