WARWICK RACES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

33s for fine bright red ; in the stock of all sorts of Cocoa
a considerable diminution has taken place of late.
TEA.-The market has still a firm appearance, and
none has been offered at public sale. There has been a
good business transacted in all descriptions, and the im-
proved rates previously established are fully supported.
Congers, common, for cash, has been selling at 100 to
I Id, good common Hid to Is Old ; Twankay, ordinary,
Is 2d to is 3d ; and Pouchong, ordinary to good, ed to
10d per lb; of the latter the supply at market is not suffi-
cient for the wants of the trade. The quantity of Tes
offering for sale is unusually small.
SPICES.--This afternoon Malabar Pepper was in in-
creased request, and 2,121 bags at public sale were all
disposed of at rather higher rates for the better sorts,
but inferior sustained the previous currency, good half
heavy fetched 31d to 3d, grey 30 to 3fd, common
grey 3d to 38d per lb. Of Jamaica Ginger 149
barrels were sold at stiffer rates, and fetched 813 s to
91 for good, and 4/ to 7115 s fcr low to middling; 364
cases dry Malabar were mostly sold at 47s to 55s for
bold rather wormy, 35s to 41s for small, and 46. to 50s
per cwt for sea damaged. 9 casks of Nutmegs were
all taken in, from New York at 2s 4d, and from Rotter-
dam at 2s 10d, both subject to 3s 6d per lb duty. 22 casks
of Mace, from Sydney, sold at 2s 3d to 2s 4d, from the
Cape of Good Hope 2s 4d, and from New York 2s 4d per lb.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There has been a
good demand for Jamaica Rum, and rather higher rates
have bten paid for fine qualities ; all other sorts fully
sustained the previous currency ; shippers and the
home trade are still inclined to purchase largely, but
are presented from so doing by the small supply at
market ; the total purchases are 240 puns, 30 to 36 per
cent over proof fair quality at 3s 8d to 3s 10d, 33 to 36
over, good 4s to 4s 3d, 32 to 34 over fine 4s 5d to 4s 8.1,
26 over rather high flavour 4s 2d, and 20 puns very fine
high flavour of a favourite mark 35 per cent over 8s 6d
per gallon: Leewards are held with firmness, anti at former
rates ; several parcels have been sold ; the total sales
amount to 200 puns at 2s 4d to 2s rid per gallon, proof
strength. Demerara has been in steady request at 3s 3d
to 3s 5d for strong qualities. The reluctance of holders
of Calcutta Rum to sell still operates against business ;
sales made at 2s 2id to 2s 3d per gallon, proof with cer-
tificate. The stock of all sorts of Rum is eonsiderably
less than it was last year at this time. Brandy of com-
mon quality has been in good request at 2s lid to
3s 3d per gallon, and the supply is scanty, but
in other sorts there has been little done, and prices are
not so firm : Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838
selling hhds 5s 3d, puns 5s ld ; do 1839, hhds 5s Id,
-puns 4s lld ; do 1840, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d • do 1841,
hhds 4s 11d, puns 4s ;do 1842, hhds 4s id, puns 4s
6d, mid to good mid 3s 4d to 4s 4d per gallon. The
market is firm for Geneva, and the demand for exporta-
tion good at is lOd to is lld ; tine fur home consump-
tion is fetching 2s Gd to 3s 6d per gallon. The value of
English Corn Spirits is los 4d per gallon cash.
RICE.-The market for Bengal has been in a tranquil
state, and former rates are with difficulty sustained ;
few purchases have been made privately, and a public
sale of 1,366 bags went flatly at lOs Gd to Ils per cwt
for middling white. Holders are decidedly more in-
clined to sell as the stock is a large one; exceeding that
of last year; prices are 6d to Is per cat
higher than they were at that time. Of Foreign East
India Rice none has been offered at auction, the business
transacted privately was trifling, and holders experience
difficulty in obtaining former rates; Madras yellow is 8s
to 8s 6d, Java white 9s to I Is, and yellow 8s 3d to- 9s
per cwt. For cleaned Rice prices are still supported,
Patna fetching 13s 6d to 18s, and Carolina 21s to 26s
per cwt.
SAGO.-There are few purchasers of Sago, and price
continue on the decline. Arrowroot is abundant, and
710 pkga at auction were only partly sold, St. Vincents
at sd, St. Kitts 4d, Jamaica 5d to 74d. East India was
taken in at 3d per lb. For Sago Flour prices remain firm.
FRUIT.-To day there was very little business trans-
acted in Currants, and prices are looking.down ; 40s to
42s is the value of Zante and Cephalonia, and 469 to
48s for Patras. New Muscatel Raisins are hourly ex-
pected. The first cargo of new Valencia will be here in
about two weeks.
SALTPETRE.-There has been less demand for
Rough, which is to be attributed to the sudden and
quiet aspect political affairs have assumed ; holders
are not so firm, and of 1,978 bags of Calcutta at
auction a very small part only found purchasers at
a decline on former rates of 6d per cwt, mid dingy dry
grey 5f per cent refraction selling at 25s 6d, good and
fine 7-i to 4 per cent 26s to 275, and unrefracted 245; the
remainder taken in at 26s 6d to 27s for fise strong grey
bold chrystal 4i to 3, per cent refraction ; by private
contract little business has been transacted. English
Refined has moved off slowly at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt.
COCHINEAL.-Holders show firmness, and none has
been offered at auction ; privately some parcels have
been disposed of at fully former rates ; indeed, in some
cases a small advance has been paid. The stock in im-
porters' hands is reduced to a low ebb.
Ismico.-The rates previously established are fully
sustained fir all descriptions of East India ; there has
been a good demand from shippers, particularly for
the better descriptions, and several purchases have been
made by the home trade ; the operations would
be upon a more extended scale, but the market
is still sparingly supplied. The quantity declared for
the Bth of October is 12,534 chests. Of consuming qua-
lities there is likely to be an unusually large assortment,
but very little good and fine, and about 1,200 chests of
Madras and Kurpah. Spanish is held with firmness, and
a fair demand has existed. The market for all sorts of
Indigo has a firm appearance.
OILS-The business transacted in common descrip-
tions of Fish Oils has been upon a small scale only, and
rather lower rates have been taken for all sorts ;
pale Seal selling by private contract at 341 to 34/ 10s,
Cod at 33110. to 34/, and at auction 80 tuns of Southern
went at 27110 s to 31110 s for mid to fine ; public sales
of the latter are advertised. Sperm, fine British has
been fetching 85/ to 861, and American 81/ to 83?
per ton. Linseed Oil 24s to 24s 3d per cwt.
There is a large quantity at market. Rape Oil, pale at
365, and brown at 35s per cwt. Olive Oil at 451 to 46/
for Gallipoli, 42/ to 441 for Spanish, and Barbary 40/ to
41/ per tun. Palm at 27s to 28s per cwt for fine, and
holders show firmness. The demand is increasing
for Cocoa Nut Oil, and prices rule firm at 298 to
30s per cwt. Some parcels are announced for auction.
This afternoon, 80 tuns of Southern Oil, at public sale
were sold at 301 lOs to 311 lOs for good to fine quality ;
45 tuns of Coloured Seed Oil partly sold at 28/ 10s, and
dark 261 55 to 261 10s, but 30 tuns Cocoa Nut Oil were
taken in at 27s 6d to 28s per cwt.
TALLow.-The public sales went at firm rates, 220
casks of North American fetching 39s 6d to 41s 6d, 476
pkgs South American 34s 9d to 40s, and 144 casks of
New South \Vales 34s to 42s per cwt. For Russian
Tallow prices are fully sustained, and several purchases
have been made on the spot ; new P. Y. C. at
41s 9d to 425, and old at 41s to 41s Gd
per cwt ,• for delivery a good business has been transacted
at 41. 9d to 42s for the last three months of the year ;
importers are not inclined to press sales. Town Tallow
has met with ready purchasers, and prices remain firm at
40s 6d to 41s per cwt, nett cash ; it is taken nearly as
fast as it is made, it being the cheapest description of
Tallow.

SIR,—In the report of Warwick Races in your
paper, Freysto p is stated to have run second for the
Castle Park Stakes ; whereas in Bell's Life, and
other papers, he appears to have won the race. Will
you oblige, me by stating in your next publication
which is correct, so as to enable me to pay or receive
bets, as the case may be ?
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
A SUBSCRIBER TO " THE SUN."

PILCHARD FISHERY.
MEVAGISSEY.—The seans shot on Tuesday night last,
and succeeded in securing small catches, but the particu-
lars have not reached us.
NEwelLiky.—We have not seen any shoals of pilchards
in our bay during the week. Several shoals have been
seen braking between Towan Head and Mawgan Head,
but too far out of the scans to be shot.
ST. AGNES.—During the week, the Farmers' scan,
Porth Towan, has taken 300 hogsheads, and the Miners'
sean 50 hogsheads.

ST. IVES.—Several playing shoals of pilchards have
been seen from the hills during the week, but none oame
within the sterns. The drift boats are bringing in small
quantities every night.
CHARLESTOWN.—On Tuesday evening, all the seans
shot in the bay, and enclosed some small shoals of fish,
which were sold at 3s. per flasket.
LoOE,--On Tuesday morning, one of the seans brougEt
in five hogsheads of pilchards, and in the evening another
scan shot, but with what success we have not heard. A
third scan was also managed and put to sea in great
haste. The drift boats have done very little fur the last
ilnine or ten days past.
Mousy's BAY.—On Titerdsy afternoon four seans

DEER STALKING.—A splendid stag, with the
largest horns we have seen this season, was shot soave
days since by Mr. Chearnley, at Auchn:hault. The first
bullet which was fired hit the dear at the base of one of
his horns, completely separating it from the head. The
next ball killed him instantaneou-ly. The noble forest
ranger weighed upwards of twenty stones ; length of
antlers, thirty-two inches ; span, twenty-seven inches,
the t)p brandies curving inwards to sixteen inches ;
girth of antlers, seven incites. At &tonal-, H. W. White,
Esq., and Mr. Brooke, had two days of fortunate stalk-
ing, returning with five deer ; and at Guisachan, Mr.
Fletcher killed two fine stags. Sir H. Meux, at Dun-
drigan. and Mr. Boulderson, at Erchless, have added
some fine heads, within the last week, to their collec-
iions:—/nverness Courier.
