PUBLIC MEETINGS.-(THIS DAY.)

LONDON ADD NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY:

The half• yearly meeting of the proprietors was
held at noon at the Etuten Tern inns 11. Moon in
the chair.

The report, which wu tamed and published some time
ago, having been taken as res&
The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. Hs observed that
the accounts this half-year were in • new form,
containing all that was given before, but some-
thing in addition. It might be assumed, in the word,
of a gentleman who spoke the other day, that the
present habitue-sheet was in its way a model of art.
The new mode of audit had also been carried oat. The
more the board looked through the accounts the
better they liked them, and they were satisfied that
everything in the position of the company was open
and above board. (Cheers.) Few railway companies could
be said to have earned the dividends declared,
if they had ario,ted • similar system. (Hear,
hear.) He then referred to the accounts in detail.
Money was cheap, and he beeved that company would
be able to borrow on even better te:ms than it had dour.
Four per cent, on such security u theirs was a
good rate of interest. There renmrlned only
2,755,000/. as the sum total of the eggamditure
required for new works. Fur that expenfiridr:
there were five years to run, and the board believed it
would be productive. It was not possible, the
board thought, to work a line with a closed
capital amount. They had done less, compara-
tively, in the way of extensions than any other ecupery ;
to say that the expenditure of capital must entirely ee:w, ,
was like saying that the world must stand still. (Hear,
bear.) He then quoted from • recent despatch of tl e
Secretary of State for India, relating to the Indian railway',
in support of this view ; oae remark made there being that
finally to close • railway capital account would be maim:
the interest alike of the guarantor+ and of the guaranteed.
The directors did not intend to create any suer
capital for • considerable period. The ordinnry
stock of that company bore a larger proportion to
the debenture debt than that of almost any other
company, end afforded perfect security for all liaklitiea.
The company had suffered greatly during the half.
year, and the board were insuring the large risks to ■
large extent. The profit for the half-year had increased
about • halfpenny per train, mile as compared with the
profit of the corresponding period of the previous year.
The earnings were es. Ogd., and the working Is. Ig d. The
extra cut of the steel rails in the last year was 30,0001.,
the whole of which was charged to revenue. Such Pa
outlay was sure to prove beneficial. The whole
of the permanent way was is excellent order.
During 1867 the whole charge for law and parliamentary
espenses was about 3,000!. (Cheers.) As regarded acci.
dente, be was happy to say that the proportien of acci-
dents to passengers was only one in 250,000. (Hear, hear.)
As regarded the earnings and dividends, the result' ex-
hibited by the report were not showy but safe. The
board had preferred safety to show, and they were satin-
fled that the board had never before been in so strong n
position. (Cheers.)
[The meeting was proceeding when our report left]

MONEY MARKET.--THIS ,D
ONK O'CLOCK.

In the absence of unfavourable features, the
stock markets are very firm to-day. The amount
of business is considerable, and comprises
many purchases for investment in conse-
quence of the low rates allowed by the joint
stock banks and discount establishments for money
on deposit. The advance in Consols does not
exceed 1-16 per cent., but the New Three per
Cents. and Three per Cents. Rudnced are *
better. Railway stocks are still in demand, espe-
cially Caledonian and Metropolitan, which exhibit
a further important rise. Foreign bonds have
been extensively bought, Brazilian, Italian, and
Egyptian being in chief request. The movements
in other securities are not worthy of special notice,
apart from a decided fall in Erie Railway shares.
The demand for money is still moderate, yet very
few transactions are reported in the best paper
below 11 to * per cent. Loans for a few days are
offered in tie Stock Exchange at 1 per cent.
Consols are quoted 93 to for money and

The English funds have experienced a fresh rise
of i per cent., viz., to 931 to j. Foreign bonds
are firm, but some of the railway stocks, including
Metropolitan, Caledonian, and Midland,exhibit a
relapse of to per cent.

Owing to an improvement in the Paris exchange,
the demand for gold for exportation has diminished,
and none was taken from the Bank yesterday. The
arrivals during the next week or two may perhaps
prove almost sufficient to meet the inquiry for the
continent. On the other hand, the recent rise in
the price of cotton here tends to diminish the pro-
spect of shipments of specie from India to this
country.
The Great Western Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 2,232 i. over the correspond-
ing period of 1867 ; the Great Eastern, an increase
of 7661 ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, in-
cluding the Metropolitan Extension and branches,
an increase of 5351.; the Metropolitan Extension,
separately, an increase of 2851.; the North Eastern,
an increase of 499/.; the Lancashire and York-
shire, an increase of 3,127/. ; and the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, a decrease of 1,9661.
The directors of the Credit Foncier of England
(Limited) have issued their report, to be presented
at the general meeting of shareholders fixed for the
25th inst. at Exeter Hall. It begins by stating
that during the past six months the general affairs
of the company have materially improved. It is
affirmed that, with one exception, the whole of the
oompanies in which the Credit Fonder is interested
" have reached a point in their career when they
may be expected to attain results which will be
satisfactory to their own shareholders, sad will
greatly benefit this company's investments in times
undertakings." The directors aeserdinglY " an-
ticipate that the position gained by most of them
will enable this company to realise the greater part
of its capital employed in them with remunerating
profit, and thus to resume its normal condition."
Than follows a review of the company's securities.
The exception above referred to is the China Steam
Ship Company, whereof it is observed that

thereby reducing the amount to the credit of profit and loss
to 18,2051.145. 3d., which stun they propose to curry for-

The directors wish to close their report by rommling ths
ex prenion of their confidence in the (stored the company,

pany's shares is made under an erroneous impression of its
real position.

A meeting of the British and Colonial Steamship
Company was held yesterday. The profit for the
six months ending the 31st of December amounted
to 4.8331., and a dividend was declared of 21s. per

ing Company (Limited), to be submitted at the
adjourned annual meeting on the 25th inst., shows
that the loss on the company's business for the year
is 14,8581. It has accordingly been determined to
close the company's operations as early as possible.
Reference is made to " the failure of the govern-
ment to comply with the conditions of the agree-
ment upon which the company took over she
government bullock train, and based their arrange-
ments.' The government have agreed to cancel
the agreement, and to take back a portion of the
material at a valuation. A sale of the plant and

tion of the 28th January, 1868, to hand over the

1867, or upwards of 92 per cent. on the paid up

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
There ws a modvrate attendance of buyers at to-day's
market. The quantity of English wheat on sale a.i salsa
and very few choice samples were included lit the supply.
Millers operated cautiously at Monday's advance in value.
The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The
transactions were on a limited scale, at about previous:
quotations.
Floating cargoes of wheat commanded more attention,
and higher rates were paid. Barley was disposed of, at
extreme quotations, and the value of maize was well imp—
ported.
Only moderate supplies of barley were on the stands.
Sales programed slowly, on former terms.
No change took placo in the value of malt. The de-
mand for it was quiet.
Oats were held for more money. The supply was short.
Bec.a were in moderate request, at late curroncies.
For pees the inquiry was somewhat restricted, at last
week's prices.
Flour :.roved off slowly, but at full currencies.
ra Linseed and were inactive. Cloverseed wee
