MABEE TS. —This day.

MARK LANE.

The country markets hold on Saturday were fairly sup-
plied with new wheat, but scantily with old produce. Tho
trado was firm for all descriptions, and prices advanced
from is to 3s per qr. Flour was steady, and oats in some
instances commandod more money. Beans and peas wore
firmer.

On the continent the grain trade generally was steady al
full rates.

The imports of grain, &A, into London last week con,
sisted of 31,167 qrs of wheat, 3,906 barley, 37,421 oats,
2,400 beans, 3 tares, 3,251 linseed, 3,765 rapeseed ; 11,316
maize, 25 qrs sundry, 2,399 sacks:Lai 1,791 barrels of flour.
There was a fair average quantity of new English wheat
on sale hero to-day ; but the supply of old was trifling in
the extreme. For all kinds there was a steady demand,
partly ou French account, at an advance in the quotations
compared with Monday last of from 2s to 3s per qr.
With foreign wheat wo were well supplied. The trade
was far from active, nevertheless prices advanced is to 2s
per qr.

The sale for both English and foreign barley ruled
steady at previous rates. There were a few samples of
now on the stands.

The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at bArely
stationary prices. The supply was seasonably good.
Oatscommanded extreme rates to a slight advance.
Beans were quite as dear as last week, with a very
limited quantity on the stands.

Peas were very firm_ in price. New qualities were on
offer, at 40s per quarter.

The flour trade was firm, and the quotations were we
supported.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Tho supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-
day was moderately good, and in fair average condition.
Sales progressed slowly, at about last week's quotations.
The arrivals of boasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts wore tolerably extensive, whilst the quality of
most breeds was nearly equal to last week. Although the
demand was by no means active late rates were fairly sup-
ported. A few very superior Downs, &c., sold at 5s 2d
per 81bs, but the general top figure was 5s per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Lancashire, and Northamptonshire
we received about 1,500 short horns and crosses ; from other
parts of England 600, various breeds ; from Scotland 3
Scots; and from Ireland 160 oxen, cows, &c.
The show of sheep was moderate, but we observed no
improvement in their general condition. Nearly all breeds
moved off slowly ; nevertheless, prices ruled about sta-
tionary. The primest Downs and half-breds realised 5s 2d
per 81bs, but the general figure did not exceed 5s per Blbs.
Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, sold
steadily, at full quotations—viz., from 4s to 5s 2d per Sibs.
There was a very inactive demand for pigs, and late rates
were barely supported. The extreme price was 4s 4d
per 81bs.

SPORTING NOTES.

Tho last week's racing has had very little effect upon
future events, although the Earl's two performances at
Warwick entitle him to rank amongst the best class of
candidates for next year's Derby, for which ho ought cer-
tainly to be backed at half his present price (50 to. 1). He
boat Veda in the first instance very easily, and on the next
occasion ran Redivivus to a head, giving him 2st 51b. The
form of the two animals alluded to speaks volumes in favour
of the Earl's excellence, and, when thoroughly fit, I am
quite convinced Lady Elizabeth will have to put her best
leg foremost to test his merit. Mr. Chaplin's filly beat Spe-
culum at Brighton, and ran second to Philosopher at the
same place, giving him 91b, and behind him was See Saw,
backed for a lot of money. After her defeat by the E trl
on Tuesday sho mot Python next day in the Grand Stand
Plate, giving him a year and 101 b, who was then only able
to defeat her is the last few strides by a head, an 1 her
running at Leicester on Friday was oqually goo 1. As re-
gards Rodivivus, report says he has boon tried to' be the
same animal as Dick Turpin, 3 yrs, at level weights, and
this is somewhat c3rroboratod by his easy victory over
thirteen others in the Nursery Stakes at Abingdon on Fri-
day.

I must now turn my attention to the programme of Don-
caster September Meeting, which commences on Tuesday
next. There are thirty-three acceptances- for the Groat
Yorkshire Handicap, of which lot the owner of Dntea
Admiral has very sensibly paid forfeit, as he could have no
possible chance in this company. From the tole weight
down to 7st East Lancashire appears to be the only ono
with a chance, and ho belongs to a clique who will only
run him as a matter of pounds, shilling; and pence, so I
advise your readers to leavehim alone. Admiral nous, in
handicapping him for the Cesarowitch, evidently did not
forget the game that was played with the horse for tho
Liverpool Cup. Miss Harrietto and Knight Errant are
not unfavourably handicapped ; indeed whichever repre-
sents Joseph Dawson's stable is bound to be very near
the winner. Union Jack and La Dauphine aro not likely to
distinguish Mr. Ton Broock's colours this journey, but the
latter may prove -good enough to get a situation. Wild
Briar ran very forward for a considerable distance in the
Goodwood Stakes, and if at the post would be worth back-
ing for this event, especially as with the penalty for win-
ning she would only have 6st lllb on her back for the
Cesarewitch. I have a great fancy for The Priest,
but Padishah is too much of a rogue for me to
trust with a boy on his back. Weather Star is
very well, and I think sure to run forward, but
the Duke of Beaufort's filly ought to have no difficulty
in winning if the Admiral's estimate of her quality is a
correct one, as he has made her impost for the Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes nearly two stone more. The stable
money is apparently on, and I must therefore take my
chance with

SEVILLE and THE PRIEST,
and, if your subscribers fancy backing ono for a situation,
my recommendation is WEATHER STAR. As regards the
Champagne Stakes, I presume we shall see Innerdale,
Mameluke, Blue Gown, Balsamo, Bel Giorno, Mercury,
Lady Ilighthorn, The Parson, Vale Royal, and Ironmaster
amongst the competitors; but believing that Sir Joseph
Hawley has a great horse in his colt by Beadsman out of
Bas Bleu, and that he is very much superior to his stable
companion, Rosicrucian, my choice is BLUE GOWN, although
I hoar good accounts of Ironmaster. The Filly Stakes
will only be a canter for ATHENA. I think the Revival
Plate will go to THE CORPORAL or TIHARIT, AS they are
entitled to an allowance of 71b and 51b respectively, whilst
Cecrops, . Athena, Formosa, Speculum, ecc., aro each of
them penalised. For the Glasgow Stakes DONALDBAIN has
only False Alarm to beat. If Sir Frederick Johnstone
should run CHARLES IL, I see nothing so well in for thg
Doncaster Plate. In the Match between NIKE and Tremble
I prefer the Duke of Newcastle's filly.
The field for the St. Leger will not most likely exceed
a dozen, but whatever the number may be, I question if any
other starter, besides those enumerated below, can by any
chance attract the judge's notice :

Horse. Sire. Dam. Prob. Rider.
Achievement... Stockwell Paradigm T. Challoner
Hermit. Newminster... Seclusion. Custance.
Julius St. Albans—. Julie J. Daley.
Vauban Muscovite . Palm G. Fordham.
Ferva.cques..... Underhand.— Slapdash J. Osborne.
Challenge Trumpeter.... Princess Alice Cannon.
Palmer Beadsman .... Madame Eglantine. Wells.
Taraban Rataplan Wianna, Carroll.
Van Amburgh. Van Galen ... Cavriana T. French.
Achievement since her victory at York has been in every-
body's mouth, and has excited an almost unparalleled
amount of enthusiasm on her behalf amongst the racing
public, and the easy manner in which she won has cer-
tainly enlisted me amongst her partisans; and as Hermit
has to give her 51b for the difference of sex, it will be a
close race between them. There is no question that,
as a two-year-old, when well, she was at least 51b bettor
than Hermit, Marksman, Vauban,. or any of the colts.
Julius has wonderfully improved since the Derby day,
and if he can stay will, probably, turn out next
best, but I cannot for a moment believe he has any chance
of beating the two favourites. Vauban's thfeat is
too recent to give hint an opportunity of recovering his
form, but in his best day ho never was able, I think, to
beat Hermit. Fervacquos will stay the distance, and might
for that very reason run into a place. What chance The
Palmer or Van Amburgh can possibly have I am quite at a
loss to know. Taraban, I have always persisted in say-
ing, will prove himself a race horse some day, and is
thoroughly fit to run for this great prize. However I fully
anticipate seeing
