I report of the directors states that the line to Hedingbain
was opened on the Ist of July last, making nine miles now
open. The contractor states confidently that if he gets pee.
session of the land required be will be able to complete the
line to Haverhill by the end of the present year. The ap-
plmation to parliament for power to extend the railway
from Haverhill has been unsuccessful, the &stein Counties
scheme to make a line to Cambridge having been granted in
preference, but the Eastern Counties Company is bound by
the 29th clause of their act to make and open their line to
Cambridge previously to opening the other railways granted
by the same act. The Eastern Counties Company are also
bound to take and work the railway, if Ibis company call
upon them to do so, on the terms of paying over 50 pea
cent of the earning. The capital account shows that
,129 9801. had been expendot The reveune account for the
half-year ending the 30th of June last shows that 1,155/.
bad been received, and 1,1421. ezpeuded, leaving a balance
of 131.

DIONNE DEVON RAILWAY AND DOLE.. The
directors' half-yearly repeat Mates that the roes receipts
of the kale for the pm* half-year axe 12,3351., as com-
pared with 11,910/. far the corresponding period of last
year. This increase is not very large, but it shows that the
position of the railway is gnadrt•lly and steadily improving.
The net vermin's after payment of interest on debentures,
he., Is 2,4561. ()a. 2d. The dividend on the preference stock
will absorb 1,1551. 75. 3d., leaving 1,300/. 12s. 11d. avail-
able for • dividend on the ordinary stock. The directors
now recommend • dividend at the rate of 17s. 6d. per cent.
ow the ordinary stook, which will leave • balance of
171. 38. 3d. to be carried forward to the next half-year.
The Increase in the value of money renders the renewing of
the debentures a metier of some difficulty, width') directors
bees generally been ooropelled to increase the rate. The
direeton also report that they have mode a conditional
arrangement with Mr. Balmy, for working the line for
soother year upon the name terms and conditions as the
present lease ; this will enable them to see the result of the
working of the railway through this summer and autumn,
and of judging thereby of the effect upon the North Devon
traffic of the opening of the narrow gauge line to Exeter.
The beard will submit • resolution to the meeting confirm•
ng the arrangement.
