THE BETTING MARKET.

AUSTRALIAN. The following extracts are taken from the Sydney Mail of the 11th inst. The betting on the leading events of the V.R.C. Autumn Meeting continues dull. Buccleuch and Prime Minister are still nominal favourites for the Newmarket Handicap, 100 to 8 being offered, on the field. There were enquiries for Wild Rose and Warpaint, but no business worth mentioning took place. St. Hippo is a nominal favourite for the Australian Cup at 100 to 12. The settlement of accounts over the Moorfield February meeting passed off satisfactorily at Tattersall’s Club rooms on Monday. The leading handicaps of the V.R.C. autumn reunion received some attention during the day, but the business transacted was limited. There was some demand for Prime Minister for the Newmarket Handicap, and he hardened in the market until at the finish the son. of Stockdove was an equal favourite with Buccleuch at 100 to 10 offered. Warpaint was firm at 100 to 7,100 to 6 could be got about Tranby and Wild Rose, and his victory on Saturday brought The Swell into the market—some small lines having been taken about the son of Cheviot at 100 to 4, after which 100 to 5 was the bestprice available, and the same was on offer against Lord Hopetoun or any other. A line of 1000 to 30 was booked about Chatham, and there were enquiries for Magic Circle at the same figure. Save in doubles, there was very little done in connection with the Australian Cup, for which 100 to 12 is the best offer against St. Hippo and Camoola, and 100 to 10 v.
