THE BETTING MARKET.
Autumn Handicap. There has been very little doing. The result of the North Canterbury (Rangiora) Meeting has given very little insight into the Great Autumn Handicap event, though Wakatipu's ruuuing does not give much hope of him pulling through. Sockburu's running may make Irish King's chance look hardly so good in the Hurdle Race. The following are the latest quota tions :— 5 t» 2 agst Ravenswing 4 — 1 Ruby or Vandal 5 — 1 Si. Clair or Dudu B—l Mon Loup 10 — 1 British Lion or Wakatipu NEW ZEALAND CUP. The following transactions represent a North Island mctallician's book on this event:— ?00 to !« agst Whisper 2 0 — 14 Lady Xorah iM) — 12 Recluse 100 — S Sultan Hi 1 — 7 Coruuna 100 — 7 Dunkeld IKI — 7 QuiJ. 100—5 St. James

A Wanganui backer made enquiries during the week as to what price he could get 10U0 about Recluse, but he did not get a quotation. It was lately stated ia a Dunedin paper that £3000 could be won from the southern ring over this event, but I question whether any early backer could got half that amount at a fair price before tho weights are out. Messrs Finlinsou (Dunedin) and Nathan (Wellington) are here betting on coming events.
