CORN EXCHANGE.

Althouiji the supply of English wheat on 'sale in the
country markets held on Satunley were very moderate, the
demand for oven the finest samples was inactive, and prices
had a drooping [tendency. For spring corn the inquiry
was much restricted at barely previous rates. Flour was
dull, and doooping,

The French markets come somcwheat lower for wheat,
and some other kinds of produce. In America the export
demand for breadstuffs has fallen off.

TL e arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were only moderate. From abroad we received 12,616
quarters of wheat, 10,562 barley, 32,683 oats, 445 beans.ll7
peas, 414 tares, 50 linseed, 50 rapeseed, 800 maize, 55
snndry seeds, 267 sacks, and 17,932 barrels of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market were much restricted, and the general condition of
the samples on sale was very inferior. The few dry par-
cels on offer changed hands at prices about equal to those
realised on Monday last; otherwise the trade was very
dull, and the greater portion of the supply was loft unsold
at the close of business. Our quotations, compared with
this day so'nnight, exhibit very few changes, but they
must, in a great measure, be considered nominal, in conse-
quence of the small amount of business transacted.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was tolerably ex-
tensive. In nearly all descriptions sales progressed heavily,
at fully the late decline in tho currencies to, in some in-
stances, a further reduction of is per quarter compared
with Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and prices
had a downward tendency.

Good malting barley was firm in price, and a fair business
was passing in it. Other descriptions of barley, however,
were a dull inquiry, at about previous quotations.
For malt thero was a fair demand, :and prices were
steadily supported.

We were seasonably well supplied with oats, and the
oat trade was in a sluggish state, at quite the late fall in
their value.

There was a moderate supply of beans on offer, and all
descriptions moved off slowly, on former terms.
Peas were in slow request, at late rates, notwithstanding
that the shew of samples was far from extensive.
The flour trade was devoid of animation, and sales could
only be effected by submitting to a further reduction in
prices. Barrel flour, owing to the large quantity on offer,
was very difficult of sale.

prices have had a downward tendency. There were no im-
ports of colonial wool last week, and only a few small par-,
cols of foreign came to hand.

SPORTING NOTES.

The Warwick Meeting would have been a great success
if it had not been for the miserable state of the weather.
Thegrial Stakes brought out five competitors, and resulted
in an easy, victory for Carnerino, Aurelian being second,
and Cosmopolite third. Blackcock's running doei not say
much for:Ensign's chance for the Derby, as he leads him
his gallops. Audrey was backward in preparation. The
Selling Stakes. which resulted in favour of Queen Eliza-
beth showed that she La:l improved very little since last
year, as Southerly Wind ran her to a head. Those behind
thepair were a wretched looking lot, with the exception of
Tho Temple, who, however, showed little pretensions to
race, though a good goer. In the Handicap, on the six
furlong course, Lord of the Manor astonished everybody
by the ease with which he beat Ellerton and Abron,
giving to the former 201 b, and to Abron 201 b.
The Willoughby Handicap brought to the Post only five of
the eleven acceptors, and the three-year-old "Warminster,
in the hands of Fordham, accomplished an easy victory over
Loiterer, Prince Imperial, Romeo, and Vesper, ridden by
Corinthians. In the Stand Handicap, the easy success of
Necromancer and the excellent form he was brought to the
post in, gave a foretaste of what Lord St. Vincent's new
trainer, Edwin Parr, can do. The five hunters which con-
tested the Farmers' Plate were a very so-so looking party,
with the exception of the winner, Mr. Gulliver's Grace
Darling, a half-bred of the celebrated Combat family,
who, being also the best trained, won easily.
On the second day the weather was bright and warm,
and the attendance good, both in numbers and quality.
With regard to the Great Warwickshire Handicap,
"Augur," of the Sporting Life, very justly remarks :
" The Great Warwickshire Handicap was a surprise to the
general public, although Loiterer started first favourite, for
Pagoda had been tried at the weights with the winner prior
to leaving Newmarket, and found the best. Pagoda was,
however, sent to the course, where he was paraded round
the enclosure for upwards of an hour, but struck out at
' 2.30' (the handicap was set for three o'clock), on the old
plea that the owner had been forestalled,' and that there
was not 'one penny on.' " I really must confess my extreme
surprise, after what we saw at Liverpool last week, and the
indignation thereby created in the public mind, that a
nobleman in the Lord of Enville's exalted position should
condescend to adopt such a course as to refuse to al-
low his animal to go to the post, because the public' were
' on.' Mr. Bennett had two horses in the Grand Na-
tional, and withdrew one, but the Stamford stable had no
other representative in the race at Warwick. Admitting at
once that Pagoda was not used, as any of the Liverpool
animals were, to get money out of,' yet I think it must,
on the other hand, be deemed entirely beneath the dignity
of a nobleman who carries in his veins the bluest blood of
Northern Earls' to scratch his horses simply from the
public having been somewhat premature in investing."
Loiterer had no difficulty in disposing of the remaining
lot who faced the starter, although the performance
of one or two who took part in the race
was fraught with great suspicion. Pagoda ought
to be watched for the Chester Cup. The Two-Tear-Old
Stakes was a mere repetition of the Little John Stakes at
Nottingham, with the exception that Lord Stamford's horse
being "riper" began better, when the race was at once
over, as Marmion, who hung back when the flag fell, was
only able to make up his leeway in time to obtain the barren
honour of second place; Rapture and Wax both got badly
off. The Walton Handicap was won easily by Ellorton
from Sagittarius and six others; and the Fifty Sovs. Han-
dicap Plate fell to Lord of the Manor by a head. Ariadne
ran the rank jade she has over and over again proved herself
to be, notwithstanding which her owner, unlike Theseus,
sticks to her on every occasion with the fondness of a first
love. Tho uncertainty attending racing in mud was exem-
plified by Dominic Sampson, a mere weed, who had pre-
viously performed in the Hurdle Race, beating Arialne,
and running Lord of the Manor to a head ; a performance,
if true, that would cause him to rank with the best " speed"
of the day, Opposed by such a moderate pair as Vesper
and Watersprite, Ariadne subsequently carried off the Wel-
ter Stakes, and the Debdale having fallen to Shropshire,
the curtain fell upon the legitimate portion of the Warwick
amusements.

The Grand Annual Steeplechase brought to the post a
field of nine, but was run at such a wretched pace that
Levity, a mere pony, scarcely 15 hands high, turned up the
winner, despite her being opposed to some of the crack
steeplechase hems of the day, including Bridegroom, who
had again the misfortune of being only able to secure
second honours. Mr. Perry has kindly consented to act as
treasurer for the fund now raising on behalf of the
mother, brothers, and sisters of tho unfortunate jockey
Wynne, who lost his life while riding O'Connell for the
Grand National Steeplechase. Although there mere queer
doings with regard to the above race, .I have no doul.t that
all true lovers of our national pastimes will lend a helping
hand to the distressed relatives of this unfortunate jockey.

As the legitimate racing season commences on the Ist
prox. at Northampton, it is only a waste of time to take any
notice of the events to be decided this week at Birmingham
and Shrewsbury. My advice is to let them alone, as neither
of them are worth offering an opinion upon.,
With regard to the Northamptonshire Stakes my present
opinion is that Prince Plausible is only a market horse, and
the sooner those who have backed him get out of their in_
vestments the better, and if they put them on the selected
of Osborne's, either Rapparee or Moorcock, they will have
no reason to regret doing so in the opinion of

A FRESHMAN.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY.

For the Northamptonshire Stakes Prince Plausible was
not so firm. Rapparee was in much better odour, and 11
to 1 would have been taken freely. 15 to 1 was taken about
Schism, and 100 to 6 about Dusk, with every appearance of
seeing a much less figure.—For the Chester Cup, 20 to 1
was wanted about Hadji Stavros, but less was refused. 25
to 1 was offered against Black Prince, but an offer to take
100 to 3 was not responded to.—For the City and Subur-
ban, both Camerino and Ducat had supporters at 20 to 1,
but 100 to 6 in each case was declined.—For the Two Thou-
sand Guineas and the Derby, there is little change; six
fifties were taken against The Marquis for the former, and
11 to 1 would have been taken against Old Calabar for the
latter. Hubert did not appear to be so firm for either event.
