BOROUGH HOP.

Fine new hops are in fair request, at full prices ; but
other kindi continue dull. The imports last week were
only 20 bags from Rotterdam.

WOOL; -

Owing chiefly to the high value of mdney our market
continues. heavy,
.and prices are barely supported. The
stocks of wool are now on the increase, the imports last
week being 988 bales from Launceston, 1,912 from Algoa
Bay, 136 from the Cape, 258 4rom Adelaide, 2,039 from
Melbourne, 3,391 from Geelong, 30 from Shanghai, and
55 from Paris.

The following are the current rates of English wool :
Down tegs, is 7d to is 8d ; half-bred hoggets, is 6d to is
7d ; Kent fleeces, is 5d to is 6d ; Down ewes, is 5d to
is 6d ' Leicester fleeces, is 4d to is 5d ; combing skins,
is id to is 5d ; flannel wool, is 2d to is 6d ; and blanket
wool, 10d to is 2d per lb.

SE Ds
Cloverseed meets a slow sale, on rather lower terms.
Trefoil is steady. Canaryseed realises barely former
prices. Linseed is in limited request, and late rates are
barely maintained. Cakes command very little attention.
Mustardseed is in fair demand ; but in other articles very
little is doing.

SPORTING NOTES.

A D ESPATCH 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
here 'neither may. nor beast shows itself ; and wow, as
the shades of evening gather round, I feel it would be a
relief if even a nightmare were to make its appearanc3
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
—nothing 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
April certainly looks gay enough at times, but
it scarcely seems attractive through flying snow
flakes and under a nipping wind. No special train has
arrived—the present ruling authorities of the Eastern
Counties having suspended the customary accommoda-
tion. By the way, these same authorities have adopted a
cheese-mongering system which the shareholders are little
likely to approve of. Surely the chairman's religious
scruples should not be allowed to destroy the entire holi-
day traffic of the line.

I have little matter of interest to communicate with
respect to the racing. People here seem to be agreed
about the result of the Newmarket Handicap. They
hold hard and fast to the opinion that either Pantomime
or Eloquence will win. I have had ocular proof of the
fitness of the mare, and as an intelligent member of the
touting fraternity remarked to me "she will take a deal
of doing."

John Scott has six horses here, and we shall be treated
with a sight of Colonist, Athlete, and the reappearance,
after his severe indisposition, of Fazzoletto. Indeed the
Port Stakes seems likely to revive the cry of "Go it ye
cripples," for not only Fazzoletto, but Brother to Bird-
on-the-Wing and Yellow Jack are likely to be brought
out for it. Mary Copp will also, perhaps, go to the post.
Between Lord Derby and Lord Glasgow there is a bet
of 1,0001. pending on the running of Fazzoletto and
Brother to Bird-on-the Wing, but ff "Faz." be in form
it wilt be a pipe of port to a bottle of blacking on the
result.

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
"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 of th'e Derby, is now
in the to wn, 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.
