We have an abundant supply of Oatmeal since our last, a
large portion of which is from the West of Ireland, with a
fair quantity of Flour from the southern ports of that coun-
try ; but the other arrivals thence, and coastwise, are ex-
tremely light, and from any quarter abroad we have no Grain
fresh in to report. _ _

Between Tuesday and to-day, no particular remarks are
applicable to the trade, which has ruled tolerably steady as
to prices, but with transactions, in any case, little beyond a
retail amount. _ _ _

Having scarcely any country buyers at this day's market,
and our local millers being more inactive than usual, the
trade for all sorts of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat, as-
sumed a very dull aspect ; holders, notwithstanding, con-
tinued to manifest unabated firmness, and in the few limited
sales which occurred, the current ratee of Tuesday were ac-
quired. Flour, upon occasional inquiries, but by no means
a lively demand, generally maintained our last quotations.
Barley and Malt, though not plentiful, were in slow re-
quest, at former prices ; and Beans as well as Pease continu-
ing in the same lingering state as for some time past, hardly
maintained their previous value.

Oats, in the absence of country dealers, excited little no-
tice, but from the short supply at hand the rates last noted

THE CHESTER TRADESMEN'S PLATE.—For this event,
Forester was in considerable request yesterday. Singly, he
was backed at 14 to 1 ; and coupled to Marius, at 6 to 1, in
fifties. A little money was also put upon Priscilla Tomboy,
at 15 to 1. To-day, Bto 1 was laid to a ten pound note
against the crack, but it was not to be obtained again. The
Corsair's figure was also once laid; but, we think 10 to 1
to " sum" may be called his price. 12 to 1 was offered, bar
two, and 14 to 1 in vain and repeatedly against either Alice
Hawthorn or Millipede. 22 to 1 against any one of Mr. Daw-
son's lot, was freely offered. We did not hear either Galan-
thus, the Queen of the Tyne, Jamie Forest, or Recompence
named ; and as to Reaction, the Tattersall figures of " 50 to 1"
show no reaction in this much spoken of candidate's favour.

THE DERBY.—Cotherstone remains second favourite,
being offered to be backed against any thing but A British
Yeoman for £2OO. The layers are getting very shy against
both. Murat was backed yesterday at 20 to 1, to lose fall £3OO.
Gamecock was also then backed for a good deal of money at
40 to I.
