BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER CORN MARYZYS, MAY
3.—At Gloucester; and Worcester markets, on the 28th, all
kinds of red wheat, both English and foreign, were Is to 2s per
quarter lower, whilst white, from its scarcity, nearly maintained
its value. Barley little inquired for, but nominally unalteied in
price. For oats we bad a fair demand, and black rather dearer.
Very little doing in beans or peas. During the present week
our buyers have been offering rates which holders will not
generally accept, consequently very little wheat has changed
hands. On barley, the turn is in favour of the buyer. English
beans realise is per quarter more money. Only trifling sales
of peas are reported. At this day's market, wheat ruled dull at
a decline of Is per quarter. Lower prices were not accepted for
barley. Oats fully as dear. English beans rather higher. We
had very little inquiry for Egyptian. In peas nothing doing
worth notice.
DERBY CATTLE MARKET, MAY I.—The supply of fat
beasts to-day was not so large as it has been on some preced-
ing markets ; higher prices were asked, but the beef trade Was
fiat. The number of sheep was large, and the quality ge-
nerally good ; the attendance of purchasers was numerous and
considerable business transacted, although there were several
lots remained unsold. Fat lambs were plentiful, but small in
size ; fat pigs were scarce there was the largest number of
fat and store calves which have been offered for sale this season,
and we certainly think the worst sale for the fat calves, but
store calves were better sold. Beef, 5d to 51/4 ; mutton,
4%d to 5%d ; veal, 4d to 5d per Ib ; lambs, 181 to 11 is ;
pork, 9s per score. Rough fat, 3s 6d per stone of 141bs. Hides,
• l!id per lb. Calf skins, 2d to 3%c1.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
CHESTER RAC ES. -WEDNESDAY
EDNESDAY (CONCLUDED).

THE CHESTEH CUP.

The haste with which our parcel was sent from the
Course prevented our giving anything like a detailed
account of the race for this event. The final quotations
were 5 to 1 agst Lady Wildair, 11 to 2 agst Halo, 7 to 1
agst Loupgarou; the prices on the other horses were
correctly stated in our last. Sponge took the lead at a
bad pace, followed by Bingham, Lady Wildair, and
Chanticleer, the ruck lying close up. They ran thus to
the stand, where Lady Wildair dropped back, and Malton
took her place next the grey, on whom he waited until
he reached the upper turn in the second round; he here
went up to Sponge, and the latter giving way in a few
strides, he went on with a clear lead, followed by Chan-
ticleer and Loupgarou, a ruck of ten or a dozen horses
coming next. Cossack laid in the rear until he reached
the bridge turn, where he began to draw towards the
front, having, however, to go round instead of through
his horses, and at the distance he was third, Loupgarou
being second, and the grey fourth. A good race ensued
with the first three, Malton winning by half a neck, and
Cossack beating Loupgarou by half a length, Jock-o%
Sot fifth. Fireaway, Cast. off, Cheapside, Deerstalker,
and Rathmines were beaten early. The race was run in
4 mm. 16 sec. We stated in our last that Blucher was
scratched at a quarter before eleven o'clock. Some of
his backers appear to entertain a suspicion that he was
" made safe."

- -
The attendance on the course was beyond question the

largest ever seen; the falling-off of fashionable company,
however, was too palpable to be overlooked. The weather
was favourable.
