WARWICK WAIFS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Independent of the sport, deep interest was wont to
attach to the Warwick meeting. The "fixture" was
formerly in the week preceding the great Doncaster
event, and it used to afford an opportunity for making
extensive movements and decided demonstrations on the
St. Leger. Still, although this opportunity will be partly
destroyed on the present occasion, because it is some-
what too early for certain operations, yet it will not be
altigether neglected, and we may therefore expect
that during the ensuing three days important changes
will be made in the St. Leger betting.
A more at.tractive programme was never issued by
Mr. M erry, ano: never was the promise of more interest-
ing and ample sport ever presented at Warwick.
Ju•lging from the numerical strength of the entries
large fields are likely to be brought out for the principal
events. There will certainly be mettle attractive enough
for professional book-makers, and the fine weather
which has just set in again will doubtless induce the
holiday folk of the locality to crowd to the course. Of
gentlemen sportsmen there may be only a small attend-
ance, many of them being either in the north, roaming
over moors, or trudging over stubble with dog and
gun.

The country markets held on Saturday were very scantily
supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was
transacted, and prices were rather in favour of buyers.
Barley realised extreme rates, and all other articles exzept
flour were &rm.

The Continental markets have ruled steady for wheat,
but the business doing in that article has been very mode-

States continue on a liberal scale.

-Up to our markets last week the arrivals of English
grain were limited in the extreme. From abroad we re-
ceived 23,382 quarters of wheat, 9,899 barley, 13,099 oats,
745 beans, 240 peas, 20 sacks and 9,899 barrels of flour.
We had only a limited show of old English wheat in to-
day's market ; but the arrivals of new qualities fresh up,
coastwise and by land carriage, were seasonably good.
The condition of the new wheat was not to say first-rate,
but, on the whole, it was sufficiently useful for millers'
purposes. Both old and new samples met a dull sale, and
prices gave way, compared with Monday last, 6s. to, in
some instances, Bs. per quarter, and muoh difficulty was
experienced in effecting sales.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, especially
with Baltic qualities. The trade was dull in the extreme,
and, where sales were forged, 2s to 3s per quarter less
money was submitted to by the importers.
There were very few inquiries for floating cargoes of
grain.

An additional day's racing has been provided at War-
wick, and the list contains a novel "feature," in the
Benevolent Fund Stakes, a race promoted expressly to
benefit the injured jockeys at Goodwood. The events
appointed for decision require no elaborate discussion ;
and, indeed, they might be dismissed in a very few lines.
The influence which they are likely to exercise over
future speculation will be very slight.
Seven nominations are appended to the Racing
Stakes. The Abbot and Admiral of the White are, in
my estimation, the most attractive names, and The
Abbot may compel the Admiral to strike his colours.

The few samples of English barley in the market changed
hands freely, at full quotations ; but foreign parcels were
less active, on former terms.

Malt moved off slowly, at last week's prices.
There was a fair quantity of foreign oats on show, and
the oat trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations.

We had a dull sale for flour, and country marks wore
2s. per rack cheaper. Ameiican flour was drooping in
price.

For the Shorts Handicap I shall trust my interest to
a couple of " bad 'uns"—Octavia and the Queen Mab
mare, who have so much the best of the weights that
they really ought to be " very near winning."'
Should the money be " on," I shall have no hesitation
in allowing Quince to do battle for me for the Learning.
ton Stakes. Imogene, however, has been,intich talked
about ; if she retain her last year's form, and if she be
meant, she will be a most formidable opponent. Triton's
success at Maidstone has caueed attention to be directed
to his chance. The horse is weighted favourably
enough, but I have no expectations of seeing
him follow up his success. Of the three-year-olds some
expectation is entertained of Announcement. I shall
take Quince and Imogene against the field ; and should
any "mistake" be made with reference to the former,
the mare will doubtless pull me through in triumph.
The Castle Park Stakes will be won by either Gemma
di Vergy or Sneeze. The entry for the Warwick Cup
comprises some of our most eminent turf celebrities.
Fancying, however, that the field will be somewhat
limited, I shall select Pretty Boy, despite the knocking
about which he has lately experienced.

The acceptances for the Benevolent Fund Stakes have
to be declared this evening ; until they are known,
therefore, it would be useless to endeavour to pick out

the winner.

For the County Plate I may be induced to stand
Lord Alfred. There are, however, two bitter bad old
'uns turned loose, viz., Surgeon-General and Boer.
Poodle and Brinklow are my selections fur the Welter
Cup.

British Remedy and the Giselle filly shall represent
my interest for the 501. Handicap Plate.
The Two-year-old Handicap has twenty-five nomina-
tions, and is likely to bring out a numerically strong
field. Tricolour and Cara Fatima may occupy the fore-
most places.

The Town Plate seems likely to be carried off by
either Lucy Lockit or Emulator.

The Derby meeting will commence on Thursday with
an average supply of sport. I will send my notes on
the probabilities from Leamington on Wednesday.
