NURTHIMPIONHIRE STAKES AND
LEICESTER HANDICAP.

shire Siaes being set for decision next -Wednesday,
thcusaads of Midland sportsmen will wend their
way o the time-honoured city of St, Crispin. This
evor originally secure,' 31 entries, 13 of whom de-
clared forfeit. At prestutt Mr. Hammond's Eu.aAan
heals the handicap with an impost of 84 12th and
the Duke of Hamilton's John has the minimum
weight of 6it 31b. With all his impost the second
in last year's Ascot Stakes is entitled to respect, as
pdor to tue Coiarawitcti the eon of Camballo was
thought good enough to repeat the St. Gatiet,
trick, btu he came to grief during the race througl,
anotuer competitor striking into his heels. There-
fore, should Eurasian come fit and well to the post
on the 31st, I. for one, shall stand by him. Stone-
clink, the propeity of the lucky Vyner, earned
seven winning brackets Est year, therefore Bst 81h
is a nice racing weight for a 4-year old of her class.
Belinda, trained by John Dawson, proved a great
disappointment to her followers last autumn, con—
sequently I shall discard her chance here. Vicugna
SsL 31b did a very meritorious trick in taking the
Great Hertfordshtro Hamiicap from liotschafter, as
the latter earned three wincing brackets in his next

THE FOREIGN IRON TRADE.

The iron markets of the Continent, without exeep
tion. remain in a very depressed eondition.—Busi-
ness remains exceedingly dull in Belgium, and ball
time appears to be the rule at the works. Lie situ
ation has become complicated by the demand of the
men for higher wages and shorter hours, both
colleries and ironworks (amongst them Cockerill's)
being affected. Strikes have ensu d, and have
been accompanied by rioting and bloodshed, several
fatal cases occurriug.—The outlook in the French
iron trade is more hopeful, the new French loan
that of the city of Paris, and the contemplated ex-
hibition all combining to inspire fresh confidence
The news received from the various districts are
less mournful, but there is as yet no greater buoy-
ancy in the market. Merchant iron is still quoted
110 fe, in the Nord. At Paris, bars are 125 fr., and
,girer plates 115 fr. with a firmer tendency. The
French imports of iron and steel during the first
eleven mouths of 1885 amounted to 214,810 tons,
against 282,293 tens ia the corresponding period of
1834, which shows a'falling off during ;last year of
67,483 tons, or over 23 per cent.—The German iron
market continues heavy. Pig iron is weak both on
the Rhine and in Silesia, and manufactured iron s
not. much better.—The American iron market is
quiet. Scotch pig-iron is lower at New York, and
prices are lower. Although A merle:ill pig is quiet,
an advance is considered prob Able at Pittsburg.
Finished iron there is as low as it was a year ago,
while pig-iron is 2 dollars higher. Rails are quiet;
but prospects are fair, :owing to the expected
incmsed railway extensions. The various strikes
