MARKETS.--This Day.

MARK LAN].

The trade for wheat in the country markets bold on
Saturday ruled quiet. The aggregate business transacted,
however, was to a fair average extent, and prices ruled
firm. For barley, good and fine malting qualities
commanded higher prices. Oats, beans, and peas,
ruled steady at full quotations. Flour was firm at quite
late rates.

On the Continent the wheat trade is firm at fully late
rates. Spring corn had changed hands at full quotations.
At New York the business done in breadstuffs for export to
Europe is small.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
consisted of 7;508 quarters of wheat, 2,675 barley, 19,903
oats, 2,400 beans, 724 linseed, 5,693 rape and oilseeds, 9,400
58 71 I maize, 1,717 sundry seeds, 671 sacks and 1,333 barrels of
flour.

SPORTING NOTES.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING,

There are two very important races to be decided at this
meeting, which, no doubt, will make a cousiderablealtera-
tion in the betting for the two great auturnn-h-andicaps.
Potomac, the favourite for the Cesarewitchoys going back
point by point, which looks as if he was going to be
scratched, when enough has been got out of him.
Ethelred does not go so healthy as his early backers could
wish. Mathilde looks like securing a short price. Breeze
will turn out the best of Baron Rothschild's two, and if she
keeps-well will defeat all the favourites. Jollity and Re-
galia are both worth backing, the latter especially, as she
beat ACkworth far more easily than Rama, the latter only
beating Ack worth by eight lengths, while Regalia beat the
latter by half a distance, and could not have lost the Doncaster
Cup if she had started. The meeting conumences to-
morrow and extends over Friday, with thirty-nine items
spread over the four days. Of these eleven are appointed
for the first day, the most important of which are the Hope-
ful, the Grand Duke Michael, the Four Year Old Triennial,
the Buckenham Stakes, and the Great Eastern Railway
Handicap. For the Hopeful 39 horses have been nomi-
nated, the most distinguished of whom are Achieve-
ment, Marksman, Lady Hester, Julius, Cellina, Verulam,
and Sunnylocks. The great form shown by Achieve-
ment gives her the pull over these as well as over all tho
horses we know anything about, consequently her defeat
can alone be accomplished by a good "dark " horse. Tho
Grand Duko Michael Stakes, unless Lord Falmouth should
run Honiton, is likely to be reduced to a match between
Lord Lyon and Knight of the Crescent, and as the
victor of the " triple crown " is penalised 71b and Lord
Exeter's horse takes a olb allowance, my vote must be for
Knight of the Crescent. The Seventeenth Four Year Old
Triennial will bring to the post but a limited field, and in
the almost certain absence of Elland it is a gift to Kin-
rinska. New Guinea will win the Buckenham Stakes.
There is the immense number of 79 horses for the
Great Eastern Railway Handicap, which, being open to the
post, renders this popular race most difficult to deal with.
Those most favourably treated are Master Richard, Cedric,
Plutus, Il Re Galantuomo, and Proserpine, and one of them I
shall expect to furnish the winner. The list for Wednes-
day contains nine items, only three of which have yet
closed, viz., the St. Leger, the Granby Stakes, and the
Three Year Old Triennial. In the St. Leger Savernake
and Knight of the Crescent are engaged, with a certainty,
according to; the Doncaster running, of its falling to Lord
Ailesbury's horse, unless he should be reserved for tho
Triennial. The Granby, in which fourteen horses are en-
gaged, may bring out some "dark" youngsters, including
the high-priced Pedagogue,but I nevertheless think the con-
test will be between Friponnier and Bounceaway. The
former has to give Prince Soltykoff's filly 71b, and, the
distance being six furlongs all up hill, I consider Bounce-
away entitled to the preference. In the Triennial sixty-
three horses are engaged, but nothing possesses the least
chance of beating Savernake. The October Handicap
looks a good thing for Breadalbano or Castanet, but those
wishing to invest had better wait and see the result of the
Great Eastern Railway Handicap.

(THIS DAY.)

FINDON.

Our downs are exceedingly heavy from the late succes-
sive rains ; but all our Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire
horses are doing well, if we except Sidewind, who has been
amiss, and is merely trotting just now ; and Rama, who is
walking. Potomac, after her usual mile canters, takes a
gallop of quite a couple of miles daily. So does Thalia.
Both are looking and going uncommonly. We
have a good string under orders for Newmarket,
to assist at the First October Meeting there. All
aro well and fit. Lady Sophie and Gretna have done
plenty of nice work, and are very free in their action ; and
the Derby colt, Owen Glendower, is improving rapidly.
Bismarck, The Ringtail, Screamer, Spangle, Bandmaster,
Lady Lambton, and Steu ardess are galloping a mile freely
each morning; and Pamunkey, Panacea, Queen of the
Isles, and Harlequina are progressing well. Mistletoe and
Foresight have not done a great deal of late. Kilkenny
Merry Hart, Indian Star, Isis, Ulphus, Caustic, Denmark,
PrimaDonna, Bounceaway, and Sister to Minnie are in full
work.
