EPSOM RACES —THURSDAY.
The contrast iu the appearance of the Downs to-day
and that -which Whey presented on Wednesday last was
most stri king; instead of the countless multitudes of
spectators who covered the broad plain when the Derby
was run, t be attendance was almost wholly confined to
the amateu rs and business men, who mustered again in
the enclosu re. Of ladies few were to be seen either in
the Grand Stan d or in private carriages in the course.
However, shotild the glorious weather which has lasted
up to the prest .nt time continue, we may expect that a
brilliant assem.l olage of ladies will be present at the Oaks,
a race peculiar ly devoted to and patronised by the fair
sex.

The day wax much warmer than on the previous day
—scarcely a breeze tempered the heat of the sun, which
shone with a sin nmer fervour until the termination of
the last race at live o'clock, when the scorched and dusty
visitors hasten ki from the course.
The sport was generally good, but with the single ex-
ception of Lord Derby's Dervish winning the Two-year-
old Stakes, and being backed immediately afterwards at
20 to 1 for the Derby, '54, there was nothing of impor-
tance in the events to affect future interests.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, up to our
market this week have been very moderate, viz., 1,790
quarters. Fresh up, the receipts were limited, and the
show of samples, of both red and white, here, to-day, was
small. Although the weather is fine for the growing
crops, the demand for all kind of wheat of home produce
ruled steady, at full Monday's prices. There was a slight
improvement in the inquiry for forward delivery qualities.
The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 26,000 qrs.
Medium qualities wore tolerably firm, chiefly for country
consumption, at full quotations. Other kinds were held
somewhat firmly. Floating cargoes were quite as dear as
last week.
Scarcely any English barley was on show, but the supply
of foreign was large. Most descriptions were a slow sale,
but not cheaper.
Malt sold somewhat heavily, on former terms.
The show of oats was seasonably good. All kinds suet a
slow sale, at late rates.
Beans, peas, and flour wore held at full prices.
