There was a decided increase in the supplies of new wheat
on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday.
Tho trade ruled heavy, at from 4s to 8s less money. Old
wheats were 4s to 5s lower. Barley and malt were offered
on lower terms. Oats, beans, peas, and flour had a down-
ward tendency.
The Continental markets have been in a very depressed
state for all articles of grain, at drooping prices, although
the supplies on offer have been very moderate. The latest
adviees from New York state that flour had advanced Gd
to is per barrel.
Up to our market, last week, the receipts of English
grain coastwise were very moderate. The imports from
abroad amounted to 10,921 quarters of wheat, 2,877 bar-
ley, 63,265 oats, 324 beans, 259 peas, 2 taros, 6,892 lia-
seed, 30 sundry seeds, 120 sacks and 48 barrels of flour.
There was about 2,200 quarters of new English wheat
on offer in to-day's market from Essex and Kent, but
chiefly from the latter county. The general quality of the
samples was unusually fine, and wu understand that as
thrashing progresses the result of the now crop is unusually
large. The continued tine weather for harvest work, and
the thin attendance of large buyers, caused the demand to
rule heavy, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday
last of from 5s to fully 6s per quarter. Old English
wheats—the show of which was small—were very dull,
and 3s to fully 4s per quarter lower than on this day
sennight.

All kinds of malt rset a dull inquiry, and the quotations
almost getterally had a downward tendency.
We were heavily supplied with Russian oats. The trade

In beans very few transactions took place, and prices
were rather drooping.
New white peas wero easier to purchase. Grey and

The flour trade was in a depressed state, and prices were

SMITHFIELD.

We wore Well supplied with each kind of foreign stock
to-day. Generally speaking its quality was very inferior.
The arrivals of boasts fresh up from ()tir own grazing dis-
tricts were considerably on the increase, but we observed
a great falling off in their weight and condi Lion compared
with many former corresponding periods of the year. The
primest Scots were, therefore, in fair request, at full prices,
viz , 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs, but all other breeds met a very
dull sale, at a fall in the quotations obtained on Monday
last of fully 2d per 81bs.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,500 short-horns ;
from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ;
and from Scotland, 70 Scots.
We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, the genet
ral condition of which was by no means first-rate. Prime
old Downs and the best half-breds sold somewhat steadily,
at full quotations. All other breeds of sheep moved off
slowly, at barely stationary prices.
Prime lambs were scarce, and realised full currencies.
Otherwise the lamb trade was dull, on former terms.
Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the
veal trade was in a depressed state, at barely stationary
prices.
We had a dull sale for pigs. In the quotations, how-
ever, we have no change to notice.
The imports of foreign stock into London last week
were . moderately good. Tho total supply amounted
to 10,054 head. In the corresponding week iu 1833 wo re-
ceived 11,226 ; in 1852, 11,967 ; in 1851, 11,480 ; in 1550,
8,778 ; in 1849, 5,769 ; in 1848, 7,925; in 1847, 6,928 head.

SPORTING NOTES.

PR( )13ABLE WINNERS FOR WARWICK,

The 1. ist meeting of importance prior to the great ga-
thering at Doncaster will be celebrated to-morrow and
WedneE :day at Warwick. This meeting is regarded

with an . interest apart from that excited by its sport,
for it of fords an opportunity for the mustering of ,
metro-
politan end provincial speculators whose "movements
relative f o the St. Leger are on these occasions wont to
be mark e 3 by peculiar significance.
Mr. It erry has compiled an attractive list of sport,
and the t act and ability which he has displayed in ar-
ranging t; he various items will doubtless insure large
fields. 11 se Leamington Stakes is the principal event set
for decisie non the first day. The manner in which the
handicap I has been constructed is not a little extraordi-
nary; if of vners of horses had chosen their own weights,
it is doul -Ail whether they could have been accommo-
dated wit h lighter imposts. Mr. Merry is certainly a
master of ' his craft, and has seemingly succeeded won-
derfully i; L pleasing all parties, From a handicap in
which so many horses appear favourably weighted, it
is not a I little perplexing to indicate a single animal
worthy of undivided attention. The betting at present
has afford eel no clue to "intentions," and the invest-
ments on the few horses which have been backed have
not been remarkably heavy. Kingston heads the list of
acceptant es, at Bst 101 h, but so unlucky is he invariably
in handicap races that I shall no longer place faith in
his pretei *ions. His stable companion, Indian 'Warrior,
may, hoe ever, do battle for his party. The Warrior's
impost is unquestionably lenient enough, and should
my suppc sition be correct, I shall not, despite the many
disappoin tinents which he has occasioned, deem his
chance in significant. Adine, too, lam inclined to place
" under suspicion." Experience proves that whenever
" intend( id" Adine is a dangerous antagonist. Hunger-
ford's rut using at Liverpool was somewhat unaccountable.
Still I at et little inclined to deem him capable of showing
to advai s tage in this encounter, notwithstanding the
favour.lblt consideration which he has received from the
handicapper. Haco is the next animal in the list seem-
ingly 4( we ill in ;" his owner has scratched him in disgust
from the, ( ;esarewitch, and may therefore be inclined to
let him try his fortune at Warwick. I consider Haco
a good, although not a first-class animal, and must ad-
vise my readers on every occasion where he is concerned
to exer cue more than ordinary caution. He may not
occasion any uneasiness, however, at present. Scam-
scrow, it is whisphered, has been sent to Warwick. He
has been frequently set up to frighten the pigeons of
the ring, and his appearance among the competitors may
again occ anion some anxiety as to his owner's intentions
respecting: him. Amalgamation has recently done
sufficient work to render him somewhat stale ; still,
in consia eration of his running at York, I shall
not withe '.raw all confidence from. bins. Baalbec
and Lur!, cy are, however, indisputably entitled to
the prece.(3, ence over the light weights. The former in
particuLir,.. I deem well worthy of confidence. His per-
formance ft e. the North and South Triennial Stakes at
York prove d that he possesses racing merit certainly
above medic lcrity. To Baalbec then I shall assign the
first place. Lurley or Indian Warrior will, perhaps, be
second. Sh, ould Adine start I shall reserve her for a
" cock-boat.'

For the Sh ort's Handicap, I am induced to select
Lord Albonaa.rie and John o'Bruges. For the Castle
Park Stakes, I shall expect the Polydora colt and
Cossey to run first and second.
Wheatear, Palnaeraton, and Flageolet form a " lot"
which I shall " stand on" at present for The Borough
Handicap.. In the absence of Virago, I shall select
Hemit fn• the Warwick Cup. Either Defiance or
Aclizr.o may obtain second honours. Among the five
nomi.natious for the Avon Stakes I see nothing- likely
to take the shine out of Pole Star. Orestes, lanthe, and
Mishrp may occupy the foremost places for the County
Cup. The Welter Cup I scarcely feel inclined to dip
into. With a clear field and no favour, Garforth,
Hazlet) ut, and Gerard may show to advantage. Tit-
terstone, Wellsbourue, and Noisette are my " fancy"
for the TG'wn Plate.
