THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, AvalL 4.—The supply of wheat and most
other articles is moderate, and is fairly met by the demand ;
the currency of last week is fully supported both for wheat and
barley, but without any marked activity. Oats and shelling
are rather dearer, with a good demand, and beans are Is per
quarter higher. No material change in other grain.

NEWBURY, APRIL 3.—At to-day's market we have a very
short supply of wheat ; and the prospect of only short supplied
for some weeks to come, arising from field operations, induced
our millers to be eager purchasers ; consequently the market
was cleared early, and prices advanced fully is per quarter.
Barley, short supply, and all sorts in good request at Is per
quarter advance. Beans, oats, and pens, moderate supply,
and in full demand at late rates. In seeds more passing at full
rates.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 4.—The arrivals of grain and flour
continue to be upon a limited scale, whilst the demand for con-
sumption goes on steadily. At this morning's market there
was no change in the value of any article excepting 'Dealing
oats, which, from scarcity, improved Id per bushel. Wheat,
flour, and Indian corn, all commanded extreme prices. Beans
and oatmeal were a trifle higher. Barley and peas were un-
changed in value.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL 4.—The market
continues miserably dull, and prices still wear a further retro-
grade appearance; indeed, the transactions of the week are quite
unimportant. A few parcels of Barbadoes, of the new crop,
have been taken by the grocers, but there is no life in the
demand. Refined steady, but not active. --Bristol Mercurt-

Wheat, of good quality, has sold for 5s per bushel, and the
highest figure we have heard is 53 3d for warranted samples.
Inferior and light quality, from 4s 6d to Is 9d per bushel. In
foreign wheat, Polish Odessa, of which there are some cargoes
at Bristol and Bridgwater, but none in this market, has been
offered, delivered here, at 38s to 39s per quarter. Malting
barley is the turn dearer, and must be quoted 3s to 3s 3d per
bushel. Oats keep up their value, selling at 2s to 2s 2d per
bushel. Fine flour 28s to 29s per sack of 28011)9.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM RACES.--YESTERDAY.
That the legitimate portion of the Spring Meeting was
likely to prove the most attractive must have been gathered
from our outline of the engagements published on Thursday,
and in no respect did it disappoint us; the prizes were rich,
varied, and important, the fields large, and the sport really
first rate. The reduction of the bonus to the Metropolitan
Handicap from 560/. to 350/., and the appropriation of the
amount withdrawn to the establishment of the City and
Suburban Handicap, was a well-judged alteration; and if
another 501. had been taken off and added to the Two vrs old
Stakes, the programme would have been unexceptionable.
Taking it altogether, however, Mr. Dorling showed great
zeal and liberality in his catering, and is deserving of all
praise.' While raising the value and character of the
stakes, he has not been unmindful of details ; heats
were abolished, and sufficient time was taken yesterday
between the different events to enable the company to
enjoy the sport-an impossibility with half-hour intervals--
and still keep them long enough on the course to prevent
grumbling from the boothkeepers. He has provided in-
creased accommodation in the Grand Stand, by adding a
wing at the extremity, with seats sloping to the lawn, and
capable of holding about 150 persons. The old passage
from the corner of the enclosure to the offices has been closed
up, and a flight of steps erected in the rear of the Jockey
Club Stand. Mr. D. has also won the hearts of the jockies
by providing them with an enclosed passage from the weigh-
ing room to the course, thereby relieving them from the
annoyance they have hitherto experienced in returning
to scale.
We are glad to find that the march of improvement is not
to stop in the spring. Several new and important plates,&c.,
have been announced for the greater meeting in May, which
promises to be an " Exhibition" worthy of the year and of
the locality.
We may conclude this portion of our preliminary remarks
by stating that the offices of judge, starter, and clerk of the
scales, were ably filled by Mr. Clark, Mr. Hibburd, and Mr.
Manning; and that all business matters on the course, the
cards alone excepted, were punctually and efficiently per-
formed.
The weather, doubtful in the morning, turned out clear
and mild; trains were started as rapidly as safety and the
occasion required, and an immense assemblage was collected
on the Downs; it included many of the racing influentials,
but lacked one who for nearly half a century was one of the
pillars of the turf, and of whom the Epsom people will long
retain a grateful recollection-we mean Sir Gilbert Heath-
cote, who, in his dress, manner, and habits, realised the most
approved conception of the English country gentleman. The
Stewards' Stand, tolerated only out of respect to Sir Gilbert,
was closed, and will, we trust, be removed-it impedes the
view of the start for the Derby, and is in every sense an eye.
sore. The racing, as we have before observed, was excellent ;
and gratifying as it must have been to the spectators, it
could not have been otherwise to the " professionals," the
favourites for all the great races having " thrown out." It
is singular that The Ban was not merely altogether out of
the betting, but that his name did not even appear on the
cards! Hesse Homburgh's friends fancy that she would have
been near winning had she not broken away with her jockey
after cantering, and run a considerable distance before the lad
could pull her up ; her position at the finish made her first
favourite for the Newmarket Handicap. The racing com-
menced a few minutes after one, and, time having been ob-
served with considerable punctuality, was brought to a close
shortly after five. We subjoin details:-
Epsom Trial Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added; three
yrs old, 7st, and four, 9st. One mile. (11 Subs.)

Major Pitt's Edward of York, 3 yrs (W. Sharpe) 0
Mr. J. S. Douglas's Irene, 3 yrs (Abrahams) 0
Mr. Glen's Duster, 3 yrs (Burns) 0
Betting-2 to 1 agst The Swede, 3to 1 agst Simplicity,
and 4 to 1 agst Irene. The lot got away in a cluster, and,
with Simplicity a trifle in advance, ran in close order to the
distance ; from this point to the end the race was left to The
Swede, Terpsichore, and Simplicity, the former obtaining
the lead opposite the Stand, and winning cleverly by a length.
Run in 1 min. 59 secs.
The City and Suburban Handicap of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft,
and only 5 if declared, with 150 added ; the second to re-
ceive 25 toys. out of the stakes. The winner of any han-
dicap of 200 sovs. value, after the weights are declared, to

Britannia made the running, followed closely by Handsome
Doe, the Empress colt, Incurable, Elthiron, and The Swede
lying in the centre; and Pitsford, Maid of Team Valley,
Brington, and Castanero in the rear. Except that Pitsford,
Eva, Elthiron, and Maid of Team Valley, began creeping
towards the front from the turn, there was no change till
they got to the road ; here Maid of Team Valley too the
lead, and, having disposed of Britannia, Incurable, and the
Empress colt, was joined at the stand by Elthiron, Eva, The
Swede, and Pitsford. A few strides from home Elthiron and
Eva went in front, and made a brilliant finish, the horse win-
ning by a head ; Pitsford a very good third, with Maid of
Team Valley at his side. Run in 2 min. 25 secs.
The Two Years Old Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 25 added;
colts, Bst 61b; fillies, Bst 41b; the second to save his stake.

Flirt. Flirt, Prince Rupert, and the Old Lad, were in front
from first to last, Flirt who went the fastest, and had the
race in hand all the way, taking the lead half-way up the
distance, and winning in a canter by a length, The Old
Lad beating Prince Rupert by two lengths. Queen Bee
fell early in the race and threw her rider, who escaped with
a few bruises. Run in 53 sec.
The Great Metropolitan Stakes of 25 sovs, each, 15 ft, and
5 only if declared, with 350 added. The second to re-
ceive 50 sovs. out of the stakes, winners extra. The winner
to pay 30 sovs. towards expenses, and 10 gs. to the Li-
censed Victuallers' School, and 10 gs. to the Licensed

Betting-7 to 2 agst Sunrise, 4to 1 agst Cnreus, 10 to 1
each agst Agis and Old Dan Tucker, and 12 to 1 agst Glauca,
Selina, Hesse Homburg, and Valentine. Hesse Homburg
took the lead immediately after starting, followed by Selina,
Valentine, Sunrise, and a bevy of light weights, in the rear
lying Glauca and The Ban. Except that the two leading
horses materially increased the space betwixt themselves and
their followers, there was no change of any moment until
they came to the mile post; here Cnnus and The Ban drew
forward, and gradually increasing their positions were second
and third at the road, Sunrise and Selina following them.
At the distance The Ban went up to Hesse Homburg, de-
prived her of the lead, and won easily by two lengths,
Hesse Homburg passing the chair three lengths in advance
of Ceases; Selina a bad fourth, Sunrise fifth. Run in 4 min.
21 sec. It is rather singular that The Ban was left out of
the card altogether.
The Railway Plate of 50 sovs. (handicap), for all ages.
