THE MANCHESTER MARKET.

For the Northumberland Plate during the week Caith-
ness has been in some request, all the 7 to l's that could
be obtained having having been taken. To-day the de-
mand was not so brisk, 8 to 1 was for some time offered on
the Field, and Windham evidently had the call ; less than
9 to 1 was refused about Miss Haworth, and 100 to 8 was
booked quietly by one of the knowing ones about Honesty.
The amount put on Dolan and Harry Drailsford were but
small, the layers being much the stronger party. For the
St.L-gerLorcl Lyon was rather freely invested on at 2 to 1.
His lordship being the only ono finding any work for the
metalic's, 3 to 1 being freely offered against Rustic and
4 to 1 against Savernake.
