Tho transactions-in wheat in most of the country mar-
kets held on Saturday were very moderate, and prices
had a downward ten lency. Barley and oats were like-
wise cheaper, and all other articles commanded very little
attention.

SPORTING NOTES,

A DESPATCH FROM HEAD-QUARTERS.

Sleepy Hollow was not to be compared with Newmar-
ket. There, departed Dutchman did revisit the glimpses
of the moon, and indulge in a game of skittles, but
hero neither mem nor beast shows itself; and now, ac
the shades of evening gather round, I feel it would be a

relief if even a nightmare were to make its appearance
and march in solemn state through the long, deserted
street. Joking apart, however, Newmarket is the verit-

able region of dulness ; there is literally nothing stirring
--nothiiig but stagnation. The day has been miserably
cold, with now and then a bright gleam of sunshine, and
now and then lowering black clouds, which discharged
their contents of rain, hail, and snow. Pied, proud

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

On the minor races I have scarcely' an opinion, and,
indeed, they do not possess sufficient interest to induce
me to waste pens, ink, and paper about them.
Kent has attracted considerable attention since his
s " location" here. He certainly goes and looks well, and
altogether he is worthy of the support which he has re-
ceived in the market. Mr. Howard's horses, Vengeance,
Goldfinch, and Drumour have left Newmarket for
Findon. The first mentioned deals in "hops," the
second has not grown, but the third, it is said, looks
remarkably well, and that Harlock had hopes, if the
horse remained under his charge, of repeating the Stock-
well triumph with him.
An equine celebrity has arrived here within the last
two days. Ellington, the winner or the'Derby, is now
in the to szn,' having been purchased by Baron Roths-
child for, it is said, 1,000 guineas, whether for stud pur-
poses or racing purposes deponent sayeth not.
I know so little about the racing at Coventry and in
the North that I should be only leading my readers
astray if I were to refer to it.

There was a, very limited show of. all kinds of foreign
stock in to-day's market. The whole of it changed hands
at high prices.

From our Own grazing districts, as well as from Scot-
land, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were
small for the time of year, and in but middling condition,
owing to which, and the-return of cold weather, the beef
trade ruled' brisk, at an 'advance in the quotations, com-
pared with Monday last, of from-2d. to 4d. per 8 lbs. The
best Scots realised'ss. 2d. per 8 lbs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, , Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire were only 1,750, Scots and short horns ; from
other parts of England, 300 of-Various breeds; from Scot-
land, 300 Scots; and from Ireland, 9i oxen via Liverpool.
We were again scantily supplied with sheep, the quality
of which, however; was• prime. As the receipts of shorn
sheep were smaller than.usual,- we find it necessary still to
quote sheep in the wool in our usual tables.. The mutton
trade ruled firm, at fully last week's prices.• The beat old
Downs, in the wool, sold at ss. 101—out of the wool; ss.

off slowly, at last Xonday's currency. The top quotation
for veal was ss. 10d. 1:)1. 8 lbs., being 2d. lower than on
Thursday last.

The supplies of London-killed meat on sale in there
markets continue very moderate. From Scotland and the
provinces the arrivals are extensive. The trade generally
is by no means active, yet prices are fairly supported.
