WOOL.

Since our last report the wool market has boon quiet, and
the amount of wool taken for home use or for export has
been very moderato. Colonial produce, however, has been
disposed at prices equal to those current during the pro-
gress of last sales, whilst the value of English qualities has
bcen•well supported. Last week's imports
.were '541 bales
from Adelaide ; 1,320 Algoa Bay ; 1,829 East London .
554 bales Odessa; and 1,545 bales from Taganrog.

BOROUGH HOP.

The hop market has been very firm. Fine Sussex and
Kent samples have been freely operated in, and have
readily commanded very full prices. Yearlings and old
hops have been in steady request, at quite into rates. The
imports into London last week were 170 bales from Ant-
werp, 74 from Boulogne, 39 from Dunkirk, 306 from Rot-
terdam, 82 from Hamburg, 28 from Bremen, and 94 from
Calais.

SPORTING NOTES.

--o-

The last of the recognised legitimate meetings for the
season takes place at head-quarters during the present
week, commencing to-day, and concluding on Saturday
next. The great race of the week—the Cambridgeshire
Stakes—takes place to-morrow, in which a large num-
ber of horses may be expected to start. Out of the lot,
however, I shall content myself—as in the Cesarewitch
with alluding to those only which appear to have a chance,
and limit my selection to the following eighteen horses,
from which division I expect the winner will turn up.
Ago st. lb. Trainers.
Brown Broad
Xi 3 7 9 Porter.
Affidavit
Dales Man 3 7 5 llayhoe.
Etoile Filaute
Caithness 3 7 3 Price.
Claxton
Paris 5 6 12 Pryor.
Abergeldie
Life Guardsman 3 6 7 Saunders.

Scheldt 4 6 9 Bless.
Moldavia 4 6 7 Elliott.

Ambition 3 6 0 J. Hayhoe.
Thalia 3 5 9 W. Goater.
Chepstow
Proserpine 3 5 7 11. Goater.

The selection is somewhat different from those I
gave in my article of last week, as for Master
Richard, Duke of York, Sidowind, and Black Prince, I
have substituted Brown Bread, Affidavit, Life Guardsman,
and Moldavia. I look upon the first-named, who is at New-
market under the care of young Thomas Dawson, as the
most formidable outsider in the race, and if he does not
run into a situation I shall be very much surprised. lie
was fifth in the Chesterfield Cup, with 9st on his back,
earlier on this year, when quite unprepared, and with 71b
ess ou his back, if in anything like his last year's Cesare-
witch form,when, carrying 7st 131 b and after twisting a
plate, he ran a good fourth, he would make the best of them
gallop. Affidavit is backed in downright earnest by the
French division, and as just before Goodwin he ran Sultan
(the winner of the Stewards' Cup) to a neck at a difference
of of 41b only, he must have a great chance. The partisans of
Moldavia cannot grumble at his weight,

to be the most exciting event of the week, as there is every
probability of the two cracks, Lord Lyon and Utladiateur,
contesting. for it; and although Friponnier is engaged in
it, there is very little doubt in my mind that it will rest
between the two best horses of their year, who can each
boast of a triple victory, in winning the Two Thousand,
Derby, and St.. Leger; but I have always held that
the French horse is of a far superior class to
Lord Lyon, and I expect to see my opinion
corroborated by the former winning easily. In the
absence of Grand Cross I should stand FAKIR for
the Glasgow Stakes, and CLAymmE ought to win the
Sweepstakes of 50 soya each. Oa Thursday the Free
Handicap Sweepstakes will probably bring out Rustic,
Vespasian, Strathconan, Janitor, ono of Count Bathyany's,
and LECTURER, for which latter, however, it looks on paper
a really good thing, in the absence of Staghound, to whom
he has to give 101 b. For the Troy Stakes I have the
greatest fancy for Mr. Merry's representative, MARKSMA'
