CORN EXCHANGE.

- The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were moderate. For most kinds
Yhs demand ruled active, yet prices ruled somewhat steady.
There was a fair inquiry for barley, at late currencies. Oats
and all other articles moved off freely, at very full prices.
Throughout the continent wheat has changed hands to a
moderate extent, on former terms. Spring corn has realised
extreme rates. In the United States, produce has con-
tinued firm, although very little has been passing for export
to England.

The arrivals of grain up to our market, last week were
only moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
490 qrs. of wheat, 10,530 barley, 5,669 oats, 670 beans,
1,519 tares, 604 linseed, 10,041 rapeseed, 1,000 maize, 160
sundry seeds, 50 sacks and 7,108 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, the arrivals
of wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were only mode-
rate; but the general condition of the samples was tolerably
good. Fine dry qualities were disposed of without difficulty,
at last Monday's quotations; but low and damp parcels
moved off heavily, at about previous currencies. Millers
showed no disposition to get into stock. _ _ _

We wero again well supplied with foreign wheat, almost
wholly ex- granary. The amount of business doing in all
kinds was limited ; nevertheless no change took place in
prices.

A fair average business was passing in floating cargoes,
at full quotations.

I The ;how of barley was very limited, and most kinds
were in fair request, at full quotations. Malt, however,
sold slowly, at about last week's prices.
The few oats on offer were steady in price, but the de-
mand for them was by no means active.
Beans came rather more freely to hand, and the demand
for them was rather heavy, at barely stationary prices.
In peas very little was doing, at late rates.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's
currency.

LIVERPOOL.
Racing men have now abundance of active em-
ployment. Last week the " resuscitated " Lincoln
Meeting found them busily employed with book
and pencil, and this week they will have little
breathing time. While these remarks slip from
my pen, turfites are already en route to Liverpool,
where they will resume their diversions to-morrow,
and immediately on the conclusion of the Ain-
tree sport they will be posting in - hot haste to i
Shrewsbury in the hopes of partaking of the quan-
tity of good things provided for them by Mr. Frail.
Expectations are entertained that at both meetings
the supply of sport will be ample, and the racing
exciting—and these expectations are not likely to
be disappointed. A more attractive programme
has been seldom issued by Mr. Topham for his spring
venture at Liverpool, and as horses have of late been
able to resume active work, the fields will doubtless
be satisfactorily large, According to his Lincoln
running Tormentor ought, not only to win the
Spring Cup, but win it in a canter. His most dan •
gerous opponents will be perhaps Jenny Longlegs
and Uncle Ned ;—the mare has shown form this
season, and the colt possesses`a good reputation, his
prestige being increased by the force in which his
stable showed at Nottingham. Still lam disin-
clined to doubt TORMENTOR. He is also engaged in
the Aintree Plate, for which I should scarcely
think he would put in an appearance. In
dealing with the probabilities for this race, how-
ever, I must make a reservation in his favour.
Mr. Hughes's lot for the 40 Sovs. Plate includes
New Brighton, Chantress, and Juliet, and whichever
starts will win. My preference is for the old
horse.

The many disgraceful proceedings which have
of late marked Steeplechases have scarcely dimi-
nished the popularity of the Grand National. By
mere holiday folk the encounter will perhaps be
regarded wih more excitement than usual, for the
field is likely to be numerous. The following are
mentioned as being the most likely to brave the
accidents by flood and field :

Speculation on the race has recently revived, and
has been pursued with much activity. Still I am
inclined to believe that it will undergo many
changes before the flag drops. Brunette has
proved herself to be a great mare across country,
and although I expect to see her run well, yet it
must be confessed that " she is askedto do too much"
to win a Grand National with a weight which
would even satisfy the exaggerated notions of Lord
Redesdale. Horn iblow is too slow to have a chance.
Goldsmith will certainly take a prominent part; he
has speed and is a good fencer and may renew the
luck of Ben Land. The next that attract attention
are Tease and Xanthus—of the twain I prefer the
latter. Jealousy is under suspicion, ani, indeed, the
trio just mentioned belong to a large party
whose intentions and tactics are somewhat puz-
zling. Indeed, to use the language applied
by the Poet Laureate to a certain illustrious
personage, "only the Devil knows what
they mean." Telegram has been of late very un-
steady; but, if well, he will be bad to beat. Green
is always fashionable. Could I calculate upon a start
I should be induced to place some trust in Roscom-
mon. Westminster must not be slighted. In
selecting Xanthus and Anatis, however, I do not
think I shall be very wide of the mark.
For the St Eton Handicap a large field will be
brought out, and as so many horses entered for it are
also engaged for the Spring Cup, I shall decline the
task of indicating the winner. My present fancy
certainly leads towards Tormentor.
