CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets hell on Saturday were but wed.--
rately supplied with wheat. Most. kinds sold steadily at
an imnrovenisnt in value of from is. to 2s. per quarter.
Barley realised extreme rates, and other spring corn com-
manded very full prices. Flour was the turn dearer.
There has been rather more firmness in the corn trade
generally throughout the continent, and prices have been
been fully supported. In the United States very little is
doing for export to England.
The arrivals of English wheat up to our market last
week, coastwise and by land carriage, were limited. The
imports from abroad amounted to 5,589 quarters of wheat,
19,481 of barley, 19.433 of oats, 1,030 rye, 1,449 beans,
189 peas, 712 tares, 35 linseed, 465 rapeseed, 184 sundry
seeds, and 1,094 sacks of flour.

Coastwise, a very moderate supply of English wheat
was received up to our market to-day, and the receipts by
land carriage were limited. The show of samples was,
therefore, very moderate, but nearly the whole of the sup-
ply came to hand in good saleable condition. The atten-
dance of town and country millers was on the increase,
and we had a steady, though not to say brisk, demand for
all kinds of wheat of home produce, at is to 2s per quar-
ter above the rates current on Monday last.
There was an improved feeling in the demand for foreign
wheat, the show of which was seasonably good, and prices
generally advanced is per qr. compared with this day
sen'night.

Floating cargoes of grain were in improved request, on
rather higher terms.

Owing to a large influx of foreign barley, that article
was less active. Prices, however, were supported.
We had a slow sale for malt, at last week's currency.
Very few home-grown oats were on offer, but the sup-
ply of foreign was good. The oat trade was steady, at
fully last week's prices.

Beans were in short supply and fair request, at fill quo
tations.
Wo had a steady sale for peas, at fully lath rates.
There was a better feeling in the flour trade, and em],
try flour was the turn dearer,

SPORTING NOTES=

YORK,
The Craven Meeting 104 none of itsi distinguithing
•...:_.sracterisiics. From time imtuemori d the proceed-
ings have been marked by more or les,, duloess, and the
4p,,rt has never been celebrated for its abundance.
People, however, grumbled more than is their wont at
the paucity of the racing, but their ill temper and fault
finding propensities were perhaps strengthened by the
searching east wind which blew great guns throughout
the week. Indeed, the sport itself was of peculiar import-

ance. Were not two Derby favourites brought out,
and was there not a great match for 3,000/. ? Still these in-
teresting events exercised no in fluence on the company, and
no wonder that the hotel proprietors and lodging keepers
complained dolefully of the scanty attendance. Indeed,
the aristocratic habitues of the heath assembled in smaller
number than usual ; and a drearier appearance than
that presented by the town last week, I never remember.
The Jewish Disabilities Bill seems destined to be thrown
out as frequently on the turf as it is in the Upper House.
Sydney last year could not carry it through, and Ment-
more has failed in a similar attempt. The sodden
appearance of Toxophilite at Newmarket excited
amongst a certain clique as much consternation as
a nocturnal ♦isit from a fox would occasion in a
hen roost. Knowing that " Tox " was unprepared,
Lard Derby wished to save stakes with the Baron,
who, however, fancying that the Premier would be
disinclired under any circumstances to send his cham-
pion into the list, refused the offer. At this conduct
Lord „Derby took umbrage, and despatched a telegram
for "Tux.," sent him to the post, and showed that he

could make the Jewish disabilities as great on the turf
as they are in the Senate. Almost as much curiosity
was evinced to see Eclipse saddled as was displayed at

the reporter's "private box," in which the members of
the four representatives of the press held a regular levee,
and round which jockeys, trainers, and betting men con-
gregated to sympathise with the members of the Fourth
Estate in their banishment. Eclipse won his engage.
ment like a racehorse. He disposed of Telegram
without an effort, although the spectators
were indulged with the semblance of a race
when the horses were about half-way up the cords. If
Clydesdale be vastly superior to Eclipse, Mr, Howard
has indeed strong grounds for the confidence he places
in that horse's Two Thousand and Derby Chance. The
Claret Stakes brought out Arsenal, Ignoramus, and
Kent. The little'un chopped down the big'uns at the
hill, and his success disproved the opinion, which many
people were inclined to entertain, about the softness of
the Robert de Gorham stock, while Ignoramus's defeat
strengthened the conviction that the Flying Dutchmans
are flyers at two-yr-olds, but " duffers" afterwards.
The racing at Catterick has produced a telling effect
in the market. The running of Kelpie has brought Mr.
Parr's horse to a short price in the betting, whilst the
performance of Pelissler was deemed sufficiently satis-

tory to bring him into prominent notice.
This evening my " Notes" will be under the eye of
many voyageurs to York, where the Spring Meeting will
commence to-morrow. Indeed, the revels on Knaves-
mire have already been inaugurated, for, on the ground
at the back of the Grand Stand, an admirable steeple-
chase course has been marked out, and the military
steeple-chases will be run over it this day. My busi-
ness, however, will be solely with the legitimate
events. The programme is most attractive, and
the handicaps are specimens 'of the art of
weighting animals in accordance with their
known merits and pretensions. Ten everts will be
decided in the two days, and they are likely to bring
out more competitors than were seen at Newmarket
throughout the entire Craven week. The " per-
formers " of approved merit, amongst the nominations
fir the Z9tland Stakes, are the Dutchman's Daughter,
Miss Finch, and Sir Walter Scott, all of whom have
incurred a penalty of 2/. each. Tne dark division
comprises some animals with whose reputation report
has already been busy. May Morning. Queen Char-
lotte, Black Eagle, and Meg Merrilees have been most
talked about, but I shall place my faith in the skittish
Miss Finch.

The Duke has been freely backed for the Great
Northern Handicap, and if his trial be correct
he is entitled to the support which he has received.
I am, however, sceptical of his ability, and bad as Wor
center has proved himself to be, I shall expect him to
beat The Dupe at a stone. John Scott is al ways formid-
able at York, and his stable will be represented by War-
lock, who surely will take a deal of beating. Bashi
Bazouk ran s 5 well last year, that I am compelled to
regard his chance with the utmost nartialitv.
sanguine expectations of his success ; he is
described as "never fitter," and I have fall faith in his
pretensions. Although Gammon could have beaten
Turret at Liverpool much easier, yet the latter's light
weight, and the form which he evidently possesses, will
enable him to get home in the front rank. He
will be ridden by little Daly, and a more
efficient lad could not be placed upon his back.
Without, therefore, entering into an elaborate disoussioo
of the chance of the other animals likely to go to the
post, I shall express my belief in the ability of either
