Sak.uv.ua, July 2J.—It was-be.' lioveff the opening ilay ot^lhe four- t e»th race sen-on at Saratoga would show a large accession to the utuisns tffiv'small ntiinber of guests who thus fir have profited by the lavish hospi talities offered at the rate of from $4 to $7 a day by tlie hotel proprietors. This, however, has not been the ease. It is true that the Friday night and Saturdiy morniug trains brought from X ew York a rather full delega- lion of the sporting fraternity—gen* llemed short of hair, thick of neck, free of speech, all apparently dressed by the same tailor, all wearing huge diamond pins, and all devoted to th it noble animal the- horse. Those gentlemen don't drink Congress water, are not averse to whisky, 1|atit>|- glass are travel f*>r pleasure, and invariably leave their ficniies at home. You may see them in New York during the sunny hours of any pleasant day, patrolling Broadway, between Twen ty third an I Twenty-eighth streets, •Newport successors make it very pleasant and livelv for those young b oods who are fond of fighting the tiger in good company. There was no heavy play at Morrissey’s on Sat- unlay night. Some Western men are expected next week who bet very heavily here last season, and likewise during the past winter in New York. Possibly tilings at thu club house may move more briskly when they arrive. If you are not fond of music, donj come to Saratoga. Music is served up fresh twice, and sometimes three times a day at all the principal ho tels.

There has been a j good inquiry for floating cargoes of roe, and business has been large at an advance of about 3 pence per hun dred weight. In saltpetre, prices were favorable to sellers. The demand for sugar has fallen off, wliiie supplies have been extensive; consequently, there has been a decline of fully 6 pence per cwt.
