Disorder in market -- there's mounting feeling (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
mare's-nest
'disorder' is the definition.
(mare's nest is a kind of disorder)
'in market there's mounting feeling' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'market there' becomes 'mart' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'there' bit.).
'mounting' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'feeling' becomes 'sense' (I've seen this before).
'sense' back-to-front is 'esnes'.
'mart' placed around 'esnes' is 'MARES-NEST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
