XONII v MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The CITY, TWELVE o'CLoc'E. • - i nquiries in discount circles continue active, and as the av a il a bl e supp li es at t h e command of t h e f ul l i l ters and bill b ro k ers are b y no means excess i ve , ~ r ates are gene ra lly requ i re d f or accommo d a tion. c uts° slight reduction upon the m i n i mu m of 4 per At, is nevertheless conceded, and this enables — ezi to attract a large amount of business, that Ir?uid ot‘ierwise be taken to the Bank of England. I th regard to the prospects of the market, they are Still consiCered favourable, though no material change can be expected till after the payment c 't the October dividends. By that time, too, a Port; cm at least of the money sent into the country f or agr i cu ltural purposes will h -- have returned, and the stock of bullion, moreover, Will have received a further important addition, 41. " i diug, as anticipated, the specie movement continue- as at present. It is stated in the advices by the Asia that the New York money market on the 3d inst. Was in a at tingent state, and affairs generally at the stock ruarkets and elsewhere appear to have been very Unsettled. Annexed is an analysis of the last re turns from all the banks;-- Dollars.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (IJeforo Mr. Commissioner Fane ) IN F,E FISHEP,. This bankrupt, Rebecca, Fisher (otherwise MA E), de scribed as of Devonshire-place, Edgeware-rcad, spinster, applied for release from custody. _ svnhekadrnre uaca and bw Hickse denied eTe rneh ei nuw settled,Caea Mr. Lucan supported her application, and Mr. Preston opposed on behalf of Mesrs. Ingledew, upholsterers of Bishopsgate-street, on the y ground that the bankrupt had fraudulently contracted the debt for which she had been sued The bankrupt, in examination, ?aid her name was Fisher. and she was a single woman, but she had p,)ssed by the name of Hicks. I was engaged to him, bet he died. She :she was entitled to £lOO a year, but the affairs were in representing herself as a widow, and that Chancery. She had goods of Ingltdew to the amount of £l5O, but had paid oft £llO. The property had since been sued for a year's rent, but they did not fetch £6O, and the rent due was £65. By Mr. Lucas—lngledew knee: I was not married. It is four and a half or five years since I had the goods. Mr. Ingledew, cross•examined, said Mr. Hicks intro duced bankrupt as his wife—he such I: iiiieoai tasaif a t-irryi n :sti d eeraansffri p e : iniab i .rt d ds: for them—she afterwards went by herself and said Mr. d r t 3 s - ts n ; ha d ai s dt h s h s e si e hiea ‘v n a we s afterwards va h esr i s ,,nni t, a s i widow, t : l i:d a that nt b oy u Is t life, and on that representation he let her have the goods that the transaction did not take place with the wi • tness at all, but with his brother. Mr. Lucas submitted that there was no pretext for say ing there had been any fraudulent misrepresentation. Hicks introduced the bankrupt as his wife, and as to the rest, Mr. Ingledew appeared to speak from hearsay. At all events, thetransac ion took place nearly five years ago, and:the bankrupt had raid cff XllO. His Honour said it: was not a case for refusal of release, and the bankrupt was accordingly released. IsIAR.,E.:.T.S---This Day. MARK-LANE. In the country markets, held on Saturday, the demand for wheat was much less active, and, in some instances, prices declined Is per quarter. Barley. however, ruled firm, and the value of oats, beans, and peas was well supported. Flour moved off slowly, at late rates. On the Continent rather more business is passing in wheat and spring corn at very full prices. At New York the trade continues dull with a limited export inquiry. There was a fair arrival of English grain u r , to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 15,233 quarters of wheat, 10 bar ley, 38,653 oats, 805 beans, 5 peas, 2,535 linsesd, 1,510 oil seeds. 165 sundry seeds, 1,115 sacks and 4,011 barre!s of flour. Fresh up to Mark lane to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, but the quality of the produce was good. Owing to more favourable accounts from the north of England and from Scotland respecting the in gathering of the crops, there was much less activity in the demand for all qualities, and, in order to effect sales, fac tors were compelled to submit to a reduction of ls. per quarter from Monday last. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, yet no material change took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight. The tendency, however, was decidedly in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderato request, on rather easier terms. The supply of new English barley was very moderate, Fine malting parcels were scarce, and such were quickly disposed of at full prices. Inferior qualities, including grinding and distilling sorts, were in fair average request, at cull quotations. The show of foreign produce was small A steady business was transacted in malt, at quite pre vious rates, The supply of oats was tolerably large. Good and fine corn ruled firm, at full quotations; but inferior qualities were a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms. Beans were in short supply and steady request, at full currencies. Peas fully supported last Monday's currency, with a fair demand. Blue qualities, however, sold heavily at reduced rates. Both English and foreign flour moved off slowly, yel prices were supported.

THE BONIBARDMENT OF CHARLESTON, C:g.. - PHILADELPHIA, August 30. The following is the communication from Beau rega:d to• Genera! Gilmore, protesting against the opening of the bombardment of Charleston e‘ Head-quarters, Department of South Carolina Georgia and Florida. " Charleston. S.C.' August 22. " Sir,—Last night at 15 minutes before Il o'clock, during my absence on a reconnaissan ce of my forti fications, a communication was received at these head-quarters, dated Hen d- quarters, Department of the South, Morris Island, S.E., Aug. 21, demanding the immediate evacuation of Morris Island and Fort Sumter by the Confederate forces, on the alleged ground that the present condition of Fort Sumter, and the rapid progressive destruction which it is undergoing from my batteries, seem to render its complete demolition within a few hours a matter of certainty,' and that if this letter was not corn pied with, or no reply thereto was received within four hours after i was delivered into the hands of my subordinate commander at Fort Wagner for transmission, a fire would be opened on the city of Charleston from the batteries already established within easy range of the heart of the city. This communication to my address was without signa ture, and was of course returned. About half-past one o'clock one of your batteries did actually open fire and threw a number of heavy shells into the city, the inhabitants of which of course were asleep and unwarned. About nine o'clock this morning the communication alluded to was returned to these headquarters, bearing your recognised official sig nature, and it can now be noticed as your deliberate official act. " Among nations not barbarous the usages of war prescribe that when a city is about to bd attacked timely notice shall be given by the attacking com mander, so that non-combatants shall have an opportunity of withdrawing beyond its limits. Generally the time allowed is from one to three days, that is, time for the withdrawal in good faith of at least the women and children. You, sir, gave only four hours, knowing that your notice, under exist ing circumstances, could not reach me in less than two hours, and not less than the same time would be required for an answer to be conveyed from this city to Battery Wagner. With this knowledge you threaten to open fire on this city, not to oblige its surrender, but to force me to evacuate those works which you, assisted by a great naval force, have been attacking in vain for more than 40 days. " Batteries Wagner and Gregg and Fort Sumter are nearly due north from your batteries on Morris Island, and in distance therefrom varying from half a mile to two and a quarter miles. This city, on the other hand, is to the north west, and quite five miles distant from the battery which opened against it this morning. It would appear, sir, that des pairing of reducing these works, you now resort to the novel measure of turning your guns against the old men, the women, and children, and the hospi tals of a sleeping city—an act of inexcusable barba rity from your own confessed point of sight, inas much as you allege that the complete demolition of Fort Sumter within a few hours by your guns seems to you a matter of certainty. " Your omission to attach your signature to such a grave paper must show the recklessness of the course upon which you have adventured; when the facts that you knowingly fixed a limit for re ceiving an answer to your demand which made it almost beyond the possibility of receiving any reply within that time, and that you actually did open fire, and throw a number of the most de structive missiles ever used in war into the midst of a city taken unawares, and filled with sleeping women and children, will give you a bad eminence in history, even in the history of this war. lam only surprised, sir, at the limits you have set to your demands. If, in order to obtain the aban donment of Morris Island and Fort Sumter, you feel authorised to fire on this city, why did you not include the works on Sullivan and James Islands—nay, even the city of Charleston—in the same demand ? "Since you have felt warranted in inaugurating this method of reducing batteries in your imme diate .front which were otherwise found impreg nable, and a mode of warfare which I confidently declare to be atrocious and unworthy of any sol dier, I now solemnly warn you that if you fire again on this city from your Morris Island bat-. teries without giving a somewhat more reasonable time to remove the non-combatants, I shall feel impelled to employ such stringent means of retalia tion as may be available during the continuance of this attack. "Finally, I reply that neither the works on Mor ris Island nor ,Fort Sumter will be evacuated on the demand you have been pleased to make. Already, however, I am taking measures to re move all non-combatants, who are now fully aware and alive to what they may expect at your hands.—Respectfully, your obedient servant, " G. T. B EAUIt EC ARD, General Commanding." A NOBLE IRISH LANDLORD. On Thursday last, in the hamlet of Sneem, county Kerry (says a weekly contemporary), on the north side of the mouth of Kenmare Bay, amid scenery of surpassing grandeur, the Earl of Dunraven laid the foundation-stone of a new Catholic church, the site of which was presented, rent free, to the parishioners, by the liberal Protestant landlord, Mr. Bland. Lord Dunraven purchased the site for a fishing lodge there, some few years since, and the following incidents in his lordship's addresa, on the occasion of the ceremony last week, are highly cre ditable both to himself, as a pious and devoted Catholic, and also to the liberal Protestant land lord. The Cork Examiner reports his lordship to have said " I well remember the day when I first came here to Mass. Immediately that I saw the place in which the Holy Sacrifice was performed, I said to myself, ' How strange it is that I should go build for my self a residence, and surround myself with every comfort and ornament which it is in the power of a gentleman to procure, while the church of the parish—the house in which the mysteries of God's Church are celebrated—is left desolateand in ruin.' From that moment I determined, if it pleased God to spare me my life, that I would contribute, as far as lay in my power, to the building of an edifice in which the people of the parish would be able to worship God without being exposed to the incle mency of the weather, and in which the Holy Sacri fice could properly and with duo solemnity be per formed. I have been able to do that. I have seen the work happily inaugurated to-d a y, an d I assu re you that it affords me the most sincere gratification. Amongst the many things which I have to rejoice at to-day, there is one which gives me the most pro found satisfaction, and 1 shall not lose this oppor tunity of mentioning it. I mean the noble conduct of ycur landlord, Mr. Bland, in giving us the ground for the church. Whe n I asked him if he would give a lease for ever of the old site, as we were going to build a new church, his reply was—'Certainly, I will.' I then said—' Will you give us some s more of the ground surrounding the building, as we wish to plant it and make it ornamental ?' Ho again readily responded that he would, and said, ' Come down and point out what you want. This is a mat ter which I will leave entirely to yourself.' I came down with him; we went over the place, and then he went away leaving me to mark out as much land as I might consider necessary. I leave you,' he said, 'to fix the boundaries yourself; take as much as ever you want.' When next I met him I asked him about the rent—what rent ho would require. What ?' said he, do you suppose that I am going to take a rent for this land ? No ; whatever ex tent you w ant, it must be a free gift from me to the parish.' I only wish every landlord in Ireland would take an example of liberality from Mr. Bland. I can assure you that, poor as this parish is, there are many parishes in. Ireland which would be glad to exchange landlords, for it is net everywhere you meet with the like of him. I have known Mr. Bland for many years, and I am happy to say that my relations with him have always been those of the warmest fliendship ; and so they will always be, because I believe him to that which it is by no means a common thing to meet with in these days —a just, honourable, and liberal-hearted man."

MARLBOROUGH .STREET. lIOUSEBREAKING.—WiIIiam Syme, a young man living at 8, Cambridge-street, Golden-square, and described as a boot-closer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with break ing and entering the house of Messrs. Oetzrnann and Plumb, piano-forte manufacturers, 33, Broad-street,Golden square, and stealing several articles belonging to different persons. Edgard Harlock, 5, Benham's-place, Hampstead, p or t er, in the employ of Messrs. Oetzmaun and Plumb, pianoforte manufacturers, '.33, Broad-street, said—On Saturday night week a carpet-bag belonging to Mr. Oetzmann was on the premises. I left the premises in company with two others, and we were the last persons on the premises. I went oat Sunday night to take something out of the bag and found it was gone. The next morning, hearing from oue of the workmua that he had lost some property, I suspected a bad character was on the premises, but last Friday f oun d the premises Lad been brokn into at the top of a flight of stairs, David Iteid, in the employ of Messrs. Octzmann and Plumb, identified some books produced as his property. They were safe on the premises on Saturday evening, and gone on the following Monday morning, Mrs. Ann Syme, wife of the prisoner's brother, said— The prisoner brought one of the articles produced to our place. I have seen but little of the prisoner for the past three months. He merely left the bag to be taken care of. Inspector Bowies, of the C division, said—l went to Messrs. Oetzmann and Plumb's workshop on heating of the second robbery, and found several boxes had been broken open apparently with a chisel. On going to the place where the prisoner was employed, and the prisoner being called out by his employer (Mr, John liempson) the prisoner, without my saying a word said, I never did such a thing before, and will never do so .again." I then took the pri soner to the stati , m, when he said that some of the things he had taken to a brother's, in Lamb's Conduit -street, and on going there I saw prisoner's brother, who gav e me the bag produced and contents. At the station p r i soner sa id , " It ' s my first offence, and I got into the house by means of a ladder in the yard." The prisoner had been duly cautioned before he said this. He also said that being a great reader and seeing the books in the window had induced him to com mit the robbery. I found on the prisoner several keys, one of them fitting the bag. I also received from the prisoner's roaster several articles belonging to different persons. On viewing the premises I found that an entry had been gained by the window. Some of the articles produced having been identified by other persons, the prisoner, who made no defence, was com mitted for three months. THAMES. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OP MILITARY STORES. — Michael Pugh, who :tarries on the business of a grocer and general dealer in Well-street, near the Sailors' Home, and Bridget Pugh, his wife, were brought before Mr. Wool rych, charged with being in possession of military stores, which had been stolen from the Tower of London and other places. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoners. It appeared iron the evidence of police -sergeant Town send, No. 5 H, who has charsgehooufstel:eNll:le.trlo,pollviteaini.sptroeliecte, s t a ti one d in the Tower, roisno na t e h r a b, that e o p n r procured ed firsta it s search warrant wo g r re white a blanket ; i n another room a white covers and a s h eet, in the par. a white bl an k et, and in the and nn e r ,rkkee blankets tuht under c dat h enw e rd d o discovered otn t hb h eee e d t p a , b e kitchen a bed-cover. The female prisoner said that her first husband, who had been in the army 17 years, and who accidentally shot himself in Canada, gave her the pair of blankets when he returned from the Crimean war ; that she bought the sheet at a shop in Petticoat -lane, and that the white blanket found under the parlour table was time ago. There were when it given to her by a Mrs. Clarke, whose husband was i n the 3d Buffs. She also state d that the bed covers were g iv en wastoh her stationedby the quartermaster p o rtsm o, tokf some e l9 t i t m h Regiment, also two straps and a scrubbing brush in the kitchen, which he also seized. The straps were used by soldiers to fasten up their beds and bedding. Maria Holland, a young woman now dwelling at No. 8, Hardy-place, Wellclose-square, formerly lived in the house of the prisoners, and had seen the blankets, the sheet, the table-covers, and other things in use. She believed Mrs. Pugh was married to ber present husband last Easter. In cross-examination by Mr. Stoddart, the witness said differences had arisen between her parents and the prisoners, and that she give information to the authorities that Mr. and Mrs. Pugh were in possession of military stores. Mr. James Pink and Mr. Joseph Plow, who are em ployed in the Tower of London, said the things seized were Government property, marked with the broad arrow and the initials W D (War Department) or B 0 (Board of Ordnance). One blanket had been tampered with and an attempt made to " smudge" out the Government marks. A Patch had been inserted. It was the practice when stores. con demned blankets and sheets were sold to tear such blanket or s h eet in four pieces. They were not sold whol e.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on sale here to-day, and there were several Spanish and Ton rang beasts on offer of very good quality. The trade ruled firm at quite last Monday's currency. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were but moderate as to number, and they were certainly deficient as to quality. For all breeds there was a steady demand, and last Monday's prices were well supported. Prime short-horns, indeed, changed hands more freely than on this day se'nnight. The top quotation for beef was 5s per Sibs. _ . From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,500 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 12 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 310 oxen and heifers. There was a slight increase in the number of sheep in the pens, but the general quality of the stock was inferior. The trade for all breeds was in a healthy state, and the late improvement in the currency was well supported. Prime downs and half-breds sold readily at 5s 4d per 81bs. The supply of calves was moderately good. Generally speaking, the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday last, the top quota tion being 4s 81 per :Sibs.

Having ourselves repeatedly been subjected to the same inconvenience complained or by our contemporary, we would very earnestly commend the following statement to the con sideration of the Librarian at the British Museum : "We have had occasion to make use of the Reading room of the British Museum for many years, with never failing reason to acknowledge the courtesy and attention of the officials of all grades employed there. Of late, how ever, it has been our lot to find that the ordinary period within which a student can obtain a book from the Library is never less than half-an-hour, and on more than one oc casion a whole hour has elapsed before scree carefully-in dicated volume reached us, impatient and eager to save time. It was understood, when the new Reading-room was opened.. that the time of supplying students with their ma terials would be greatly shortened compared with that which was customary on the old system. With regret we find that the reverse is the rule. Worn out of patience, we, one day, while waiting for a volume, paced round the readers' desks to ascertain if their crowded state could account for the delay in our receipt of books. The radiat ing desks can accommodate about three hundred readers : at them were seated exactly one hundred and forty-seven persons, or less than half the number that might have taxed the arrangements of the establishment. This was within an hour of closing the Reading-room, and when many readers would abstain from demanding books that could nut be used on the current day. At any rate, the place was nut half full; yet an hour and ten minutes elapsed ere we got the book in demand. Few students can afford to wait even half this time. Surely Mr. Panizzi can do something to render long delays the exception, and not the rule. Sir R. Mayne and the Modern Gomorrah, The number of crimes committed in the year 1861 was—in the City, 1,029 ; in the metropolitan dis trict, 11,203. The area of the City is little more than one square mile; the population, 111,784 per sons; and the number of houses inhabited and un inhabited, 1,479. The area of the metropolitan district is 571 square miles ; the population, 3,110,684 persons; the number of houses in habited and uninhabited, 461,848. The propor tion of crimes to population is—in the City, 1 crime to 108 persons; in the metropolitan district, 1 crime to 277 persons. In this relation, crimes in the City are upwards of 156 per cent. higher than in the metropolitan district. The propor tion of crimes to inhabited houses is—in the City, 1 crime to 12 houses; in the metropolitan &strict, 1 crime to 37 houses. In this relation, crimes in the City are upwards of 208 per cent. higher than in the metropo itan district. Let Curnhill and Cheapside ronder over these state ments. The City is proved to be a sink of ini quity ; it is inhabited by a population of rogues and vagabonds. Now we know where the tickets of•leave hide themselves ; now we know where the dangerous classes have permanent settlement; it is in the quadrangle of the Royal Exchange, the rotunda of the Bank, and the purlieus of Mark-lane, Mincing-lane, and St. Paul'a•church yard we must look for men of Bill Sykes's stamp— that is, if we really wish to make their acquaint ance. Nothing less than a second Great Fire would suffice to cleanse the second Gomorrah, and it must not only consume the houses, but the people, for they are lost in iniquity, and the city of London is, par excellence, the criminal City. We only need to have Sir Richard Mayne's police on duty in our streets, and this moral plague-spot will become a paradise.— City Press.

THE DONCASTER MEETING. The weights for the Autumn handicaps being now pub lished, the events to be decided this week will be looked forward to with more than ordinary interest, as the equi vocal performers this year have now nothing to fear. The Champagne Stakes generally produces a favourite for the Derby, but I think it will result in a match between Linda and Fille de l'Air, giving the preference to the formeer. The Great Yorkshire Handicap has a very poor accept ance. Still enough remain to make a good race, and as the distance is within the scope of all of them, a fair field may be expected. Tho field will include Harlington, Lady Ripon, Welcome, Chanz,e, Blithfield, Jack of Hearts, Silk stone, Earl of Surrey, Hubert, Doctor Syntax, Blondin, Cachuca, Schoolmistress, Kangaroo, Barter, and The Serf. The three most favourably weighted are Schoolmistress, Doctor Syntax, and Barter; giving the preference to them in the order named. The Filly Stakes should be won by Syron, and the Glas. gow Stakes by Midnight Mass. Wednesday is tho St. Leger day. The field for the great event will likely compose most of the following Horses. Riders. Avenger ........ A . Edwards. Blondin Blue Mantle .. Lynch. Borealis Bright Cloud or Cheerful Clatior Curio Dr. Syntax Donnybrook Erin go Bragh Gladstone Golden Pledge Fordhata. Light Bob Lord Clifden Osborne. National Guard Prince Lee 800 Ovesauder Queen Bertha . Banger Scamander Custrmee. Tadeums Avenger and Onesander will represent Lord Stantford's interest, but from the amount of money invested in the former, it would seem that the latter will run to serve his stable companion, but it would not surprise me to see " Noseander," as he is generally termed, turn out the best of his lordship's pair, as was the case with Diophantus two years ago in the Two Thousand Guineas, when Imaus was defeated by his stable companion in a common canter. Avenger won the Prince of Wales's Stakes easily, but there was nothing great behind him, as Blue Mantle was out of all form. He will carry as much money as any other horse in the race, and no liberties ought to be taken with him. The Ranger is gradually retiring to tha outside division, and I think that is just the place he will obtain in the race, though I believe he will try and get a "situation" amongst the first three. Queen Bertha (whom I selected to win the Oaks when at 50 to 1) has been the most steady horse in the betting ; but, no doubt this arises from her being in John Scott's stable, who has won more Legers than any other trainer. How ever, her ladyship is entitled rto the greatest respect on her own merits; but, as mares are very uncertain at this season of the year, I do not think she will carry h%r colotirs suc cessfully past the post in the great tussle. Lord Clifden has been knocked about more than any other horse in the race--one day being at 20's, the next at 10's, then at 6's, back again to 20's and 30's, down again to 6's, where he now remains, with a still further downward tendency. That his performances warrants such knocking about is a thing, as Lord Dundreary would say, " Tha-tha-that no fellah can understand." He was by far the best two-year-old of his year, and only lost the Derby by a very short head. His running in France I entirely throw aside, as he was suffering severely from the roughness of the passage across the channel. No horse could be in finer condition at present, and those who have been taking liberties with him will perhaps get as great a b!ow as they did in 1860 with St. Albans. Golden Pledge, since his success in the Ebor Handicap, has been entrusted with heaps of money, and ought to run respectably. Donnybrook I have no fancy for, but National Guard, who won his Stockton en gagements, ought to run well, and may prove an awkward customer to the favourites. Blue Mantle is doing excellent work at present, and from the forward position he obtained in the Derby, my only doubt is whether t o g i ve th e prefer ence to him or Lord Clifden. Borealis is a beautiful little mare , an d her owner has backed her for a situation. Light Bob and Clarior will represent Lord Glasgow, but with no chance of success. Serf will run for Mr. Jackson's book, and Blondin for Mr. Parr, but I am afraid he will not meet with the good fortune he had when he carried off this race in 1855 with Saucebox, who was at 50 to 1 at starting. Tambour Major, it is reported, will be amongst the starters; and if he runs as well as he did in the Derby, when he had such an artistic jockey as Wells on his back, there will not be much danger to be feared from him. It will be seen, from the above, that I expect the judge will place LORD CLIFDEN (with his head loose) 1 BLUE MANTLE 2 AVENGER ...... 3 The Doncaster Cup will b e won by M ACCARONI . A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap, Dr. Syntax remained the favourite; but The Serf, without much money being laid against him, declined to 20 to 1 (offered). Barter advanced to 10 to 1 (taken), and 12 to 1 was accepted about Blondin.—Avenger and Queen Bertha were equal favenriteit for the St. Leger, and 6 to 1 was wanted against Laid Clifden. The Ranger was anything but firm, 10 to 1 being offered against him in good quarters. 33 to 1 was the highest price against the Serf, and Dr. Syntax was in de mand at 40 to 1, Closing prices GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES. 9 to 1 agst Dr. Syntax (taken) 10 to 1 agst Barter (taken) 12 to 1 agst Blondin (taken) 14 to 1 agst Drummer Boy (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Duleibella (taken) 20 to 1 agst Deception (taken) 20 to 1 agst The Serf (offered) THE LEGER,. 11 to 2 agst Avenger (taken) 11 to 2 agst Queen Bertha (taken) 6to 1 agst Lord Chian (wanted) 10 to 1 agst Ranger (offered) 16 to 1 agst Borealis (offered) 16 to 1 agst Blue Mantle (offered) to 1 agst The Serf (offered) 40 to 1 agst 1)r.
