SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS—YESTEILDAY.
Several noblemen and gentlemen added their names to the
list (f subscriptions, and the room, for a longer period than
usual, was crowded to excess. Betting was rather languid at
first, but improved towards evening, and before it was brought
to a close extended oxer a large field. The two leading fa-
vourites wore backed for between two and three hundred
each, the first at 9 to I, with a tolerably steady aspect,
and the other at 20 and 25 to 1, without holding out
any encouraging prospect for his backers. The niece
Colt, Wiseacre, and 13allinkeele succeeded, in the order
we have quoted them below, and the first two were
rather strongly fancied; the amount laid out, however, was
moderate. Several outsiders were backed, and three of them
mil uncommon spirit, viz., the Joanna colt, Espartero, and
Equation. Auckland was promoted to 33 to 1, at 'a very
trifling outlay. The Oaks was touched upon atintervals, and
slightly to the prejudice of Passion and the Adela filly ; both,
however, were backed. The Amina filly found favour with
two er three parties at an improved price, and is likely to be-
come a much better favourite. The Chester Cup betting was
slack and unimportant.

STATE OF TRADE.

BRISTOL WOOL FAIR, Marten, 3. —The attendance of
buyers and sellers has been about an average • and the amount
of business which has been done, has been as large as migtst be
expected from the disproportion which has for some time ex-
isted between the prices asked and obtained by the farmers, and
the market prices of Yorkshire and Lancashire; the former
being decidedly higher in proportion than the latter. The
buyers from the manufacturing di•triets have been c tutious in
their purchases' not buying unless they could see a prospect of
an adequate profit.
FOREIGN WOOL. TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 4.—We have
again had an improved demand for Foreign wools during the
past week, and the prospects of a better trade are, on the whole,
more promising.
ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 4.—We are un-
able to quote any material alteration in English wools this
week ; the same disinclinatioi to purchase, except for imme-
diate consurnp:ion, still continues. Prices are, if any thing, a
shade in favour of the buyers.
WAKEFIELD, WOOL Al A RKET, MA RC II 4.—The wool
market continues unchanged from our last report. The pro-
gress of sales in all combing wools is slow, at the lowest quota-
tiors. There is scarcely any inquiry at all for blanket wools,
and prices are therefore merely nominal.
TRADE -or LEE ns.—Both on Saturday and Tuesday the
markets at our Cloth Halls were exceedingly dull,. and prices
i ominal. Although this is the season when in ordinary times
the principal sales take place for the spring, there is no im-
provement whatever in the demand. The more the Govern-
ment measure on the Corn-laws is canvassed over, the more
are the manufacturing and mercantile part of the community
convinced :hat it will give no relief to trade ; confidence is,
in consequence lost of any amendment for some time to come.
Business In the warehouses is correspondingly dull, the few
buyers who come to this market buy more sparingly than we
ever knew them at this season of the year.—Leeds Mercury.
