CORN EXCHANGE.

Only moderate supplies of wheat wore on sale in most of
the country markets held on Saturday; nevertheless, the
demand for most kinds was in a sluzgisb state, and prices
ruled the turn in favour of buyers. All spring corn moved
off slowly, but no change took place in value.
The continental markets continue dull for wheats, at
drooping currencies. At New York, both wheat and flour
have fallen considerably in value.
Only limited supplies of home produce were received up
to our market last week. The imports from abroad were
13,115 quarters of wheat, 11,552 barley, 28,942 oats, 310
beans, 614 peas, 7,415 linseed, 3340 rapeseed, 370 mustard
seed, 3,390 sundry seeds, and 297 sacks of flour.
Only a limited supply of wheat was received fresh up to
our market to-day from Essex. From Kent the receipts
were slightly on the increase. Owing to the continuance of
damp weather, many of the samples were somewhat out of
condition, consequently less saleable than in some previous
weeks. The attendance of millers was far from numerous,
and, on the whole, the trade was in a sluggish state. A
few fine dry samples sold at last Monday's quotations ;
but other kinds were 2s. per quarter lower.

We.were well supplied with foreiga grain, fresh as well
as ex-granary; even the finest qualities moved off heavily,
but we have no quotable change to notice in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were mostly held at full quota-
tions.

The show of barley was on the increase, but it was
chiefly composed of inferior qualities. Fine malting sam-
ples sold freely at full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts
moved off heavily at irregular currencies.
The demand for malt was steady, though far from active,
at last week's quotations.

Wo were well supplied with oats, in which a steady
business was transacted at previous rates.
Beans sold slowly, on former terms to le. per quarter
decline.

The sale for peas was rather steady, at full prices.
Flour changed hands slowly, and the quotations were
with difficulty supported.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE CESA RE WITC H.

To exaggerate the interest which attaches to the com-
ing encounter for the Cesarewitch is almost impossible.
Wherever a racing man is to be found, whether in the
United Kingdom, in Frit' ce, or in America, his thoughts
turn to Newmarket and the Great Handicap which is
to be decided on Tuesday. Indeed, amongst the com-
petitors will be the representatives cf the French and
American turf, and, if report be true, Ru,sia itself will
era long send a champion to do battle for an event for
which it furnishes a name. The aspect of Newmarket
is certainly not cheering. Although the " special'
brought a large accession of visitors into the town, and
although the arrivah of horses are very numerous, yet
the streets are as deserted as the most inveterate lover of
peace and quietness could desire. A bright light, it is
true, flickers across the road from the White Hart, and
in the yard attached to that comfortable hostelry waiters
flit stealthily to and fro, but the small sign of life and
animation visible there but deepens by contrast the sur-
rounding gloom and darkness. To discover the all im-
portant secret, the winner of the Cesarewitch, is more
difficult than determining under which thimble the
little pea is hid—perhaps infinitely more puz
zling than to guess Professor Anderson's prize
conundrum. It is wonderful, however, what "good
things" some people possess, but the man who has a
"gaol thing" is the very man to be avoided. I will
cqnfess candidly that I have not a "gold thing"—that,
in fact, I was never more perplex-JI by any race than by
the Cisarewitch, but I will also acknowled„;e that I have
carefuFy and impartially weighed the " pros and cons,"
and that the selection which I shall make will be one
that may honestly be defended. So much has been written
—and such nonsense, too—about the Cesarewitch com-
petitors that I shall not bore the reader by recapitulating
every argument which may be advanced either for or
against certain animals, but shall touch very lightly
upon those horses who either bold, or are entitl-d to
hold, a prominent poAtion in the betting. I have fre-
quently declared my disbelief in the boasted ability of
dark horses, and my prejudice against them compels me
to regard M. Dobler with susp!cior. The Dobler is to
all intents and purposes thoroughly dark, but if his trial
with Black Tommy (by the way, did he ever have one ?)
be correct, the horse's merits are not likely to be long
hidden. The first and only time I saw the Dobler
was at Reading last year when he appealed
to me to be a well built animal enough, and
ono likely to train on to advantage. His
Shrewsbury running must not be taken into considera-
tion, for, if the reporters are to be believed, he bad no
business to win in that "land of cakes." His owner is
a shrewd turf tactician, and it is with reluctaace that I
oppose him, but I certainly cannot " stand" the Dobler.

- -
Warlock is slow, and I do not think that he will find
the raee run to his liking. The Plush colt, after attain-
ing almost the sic plush, ultra of popularity, hag seem-
ingly been unable to bear his plushing honours so thick
upon him as his backers intended. Tire Cambridgeshire,
and not the Casiarwitch, will be his mark. Lima has
so long been the " coming animal," that now when we
are not required to wait a little longer, she really ought
to do something to justify the reputation which has pre.
ceded her. She is weighted favourable enough, and if her
racing ability has not been greatly exaggerated, she ought
to figure at least respectably in the very respectable
company in which she will find herself. Fright and
Renown—anld acquaintance—will assuredly run well,
and I shall not be surprised to see either of them close
to the winner at the finish. Eloquence has superseded
her stable companion Aster in the betting, b It I do not
think she will bear the ducal c)1 curs very prominently.
Hartley Buck taught us not to underrate old and
even a worse animal than Poacher would, at the weights,
be entitlsd to favourable notice. He has been highly
tried, and, if my information be correct, the favourite
will find him very troublesome. I was once inclined to
entertain a high opinion of Mary's chance, but circum-
stances have compelled me to look elsewhere for a cham-
pion. Neither time nor space will permit me to refer
to the other animals. If Mr. Clark doss not assign the
first place to either _ _

EL lIAKrx or THE POACHER

I shall be greatly disappointed.

Should Baron Rothschild bring out his Derby colt,
Mentmore, for the Cleurtycll, his colours ought to be
successful. A FRESII MAN.

CANTERBURY HALL.

This establishment continues to gain golden
opinions in all quarters for the excellence and
propriety of its amusements and arrangements.
La Presse de Loudres considers it the first
place among metropolitan places of recrea-
tion. It counsels foreigne,s resident in
Lutdon to extend their researches beyond the
regions round Leicester-square, and gives an ac-
count of a recent visit to the Canterbury :—" The
concert was excellent. We especially admired
Picco the blind minstrel, whose intellectual
faculties are wholly concentrated in his instru-
ment. His dreams, his tears, his joy, all the
sentiments of his soul aro adequately ex-
pressed by the little pipe, which he invented
and performs on. What charms of harmony, what
expression, at ono time soft, at another stormy,
does he evoke ft om this marvellous instrument !
Picco was recalled five or six times by the enthu-
siastic audience. Miss Russell, niece of the cele-
brated floury Russell, was greatly applauded in
an air from the " Trovatore," which she sung with
considerable grace and feeling, and we trust that
her talents may be so appreciated as to cause it to
be exercised on a lager stage. Madame Marietta
likewise rendered perfect justice to the pieces which
she sang. We should also notice the Irish dance
of Mr. Collins, and the exertions of the other
artists, but for the present we must limit ourselves
to stating that each and all of them contributed to
the success of the evening and the amusement of
the spectators. We recommend you, dear readers,
to go to Canterbury Hall, if you wish to be well
amused."
