TERRIBLE FIRE IN THE BOROUGH.

BETTING IN LONDON.-{THIS DAT.)

2.30 P.Y.

A heavy Bottling caused speculation at the Vic-
toria Club to be limited. For the Ebor Handicap the
Spy declined to 11 to 2 (offered), not more than that
price being at one time obtainable about Ferraoques ;
ultimately, however, 8 to 1 was laid against the latter.
Tabouret was in forte at 8 to 1 ; and Tarabaa was backed
at 10 to 1. For the Leger, after 130 to 80 had been taken
about The Earl, 300 to 200 was accepted. King Alfred
and Restitution met with some trifling support at the
prices given below. The only Derby bet was 1,000 to 20
taken about Vanattart. Closing prices:

BITBRET T. lESlS.—(staruis.)
To-day at 12.20, play in this match was com-
menced at Kennington Oval, The match at Brighton
v. Middlesex), took one man from each side, viz.,
(Sussex v.
from Surrey, and Payne from Kent. The latter
county played no less than seven gentlemen, amongst
whom was Mr. Kelton, who, having recovered from the
effects of a blow, which he received early last season,
and which prevented his taking part in the county
contests, made his first appearance this season.
At 12.26 Surrey, having won the toss, sent
in Jupp and Humphrey to the bowling of
Mr. Lipeoomb and Willaher, the latter delivered from the
pavilion end. After making a three and a two off Win-
dier Humphrey was well taken at the wicket by Mr.
Cooper (one for 6). Pooley was bowled by Willsher,
who was evidently well "on the spot." He was followed
by Stephenson, and at 1 o'clock when our messenger was
despatched the score stood as under :

MARK-LANN.--(THUS DAY.)
Owing to the short stieeof new Engbib wheat on sale
hare to-day, the trade raW ray dr.; and pries, advanced
2s. per qr., with a fair demand. A reaction of Ws kind was
exported after the late rapid fall, but it le probably quite
of a temporary nature, and as larger supplies are sent
forward a gradual decline in price will take place.
There was a moderate demand for foreign wheat, and
all fine qualities realised l.s. to 2e. per qr. more money.
Some maniples of new' red Baltic wheats were exhibited,
the quotatWn for shipment being ks. to els., e.
and u_ _

home fins paresis of new anglish barley were on sale,
the prices of which were extreme. Foreign qualities were
iris in price, although the demand was far from active.
The malt trade was very quiet on former terms. There
was a fair show of oats on sale—principally Russian de.
soriptions—and, the trade ruling arm, the late decline in
values was recovered. _

In consequence of the very bad out-turn of the pp t
crop, beans advanced fully 6d. per qr., especially for
E qualities.
itan met a fair sale at full quotations.
Linseed ruled steady at last week's prima. Rapeseed
was dull and drooping. All English seed' were very
steady in value.
The flour trade was rather firmer, althotenthibusinees
transacted was on a very limited scale. marks
and foreign qualities were held for fully as mu money.
Town-made flour was unaltered.
The floating grain cargo trade has continued in the same
inactive state which has characterised it for several weeks
past. The unoertain condition of the home trade has pre-
vented operations and caused a general depression in the
tone of the market. Prices of wheat, arrived, however,
show no material alteration on the week, but in parcels for
shipment no business has been reported. We
quote Berdianalri, arrived, 61a. ; Nioolaieff, 495. 6d.
to 60a. ; Giiirka, 49a. 6d. per 492114.• brad,
435. per 480 lbs. The demand for maize has been inactive
and the tendency of wioes has been downwards. Molda-
vian arrived has sold at 34e. 6d. per 492 lbs. ; Galata,
345. 61. ; Bach°va, 34e. 3d. ; Saloalea, 33a. 9d. pr 480 lbs.
Only a moderate has been coneln&A in barley
afloat, and the quotations show a decline of 6d. to la. on
the week. Blaar flea arrived has °hanged bands at 30a.
3d. ; Danubian, 30e. 9d. • Galatz, 295. per 400 lbs. Not-
