POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

London and North-Western Railway.

MEETING THIS DAY.

The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in
this company was held this afternoon at the station, Easton•
square, Mr R. Moon, the chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors, presiding.
The CHAIBMAN, without any preliminary remarks,
moved the adoption of the report, the principal portions of
which have been published.
Mr WESTIIHAD seconded the motion.

Mr R. H. PALMER called attention to the extensions
which were being made by the Midland Company, and
which he thought would lead to serious competition. He
wished to ask whether any arrangements had teen made
wish the Midland Company for the transmission of
Northern traffic over the North-Western Railway, and
whether the scandalous arrangements now in force at Lei-
cester and Rugby could be obviated.
Mr MoRGAN congratulated :he company on the policy
adopted by the board. When they adopted a policy of
competition they caused a vast amount of unprofitable
traffic. They were now working with the Great Northern,
the Great Western, and the Midland. He understood the
board were about to guarantee 4
per cent. in perpetuity to
the Bedford anti Cambridge Company. He should like to
know on what amount of capital the guarantee was to be

given.
Mr TAYLOR thougbt the Midland Company's high
dividend wudid not long prevail, and hoped the North
Western Company would not be driven into competition.
The CHAIRMAN said the directors were on friendly
terms, with the Alialand Company and negotiations were
in progress with them. He could not promise that there
would be any reduction of the company's expenses, for,
while the Government pursued its present plan of allowing
everybody wh i pleased to rob them of their traffic, they
must seek traffic elsewhere, and provide additional accom-
modation. With regard to the Bedford and Cambridge
guarantee, he might say that arrangement between the
companies was of long standing. The capital was about
£240,000, of which the North Western Company held
.bout £70,000. That company had received frum 4to 41
per cent., and it was thought advisable to convert it into
a perpetual 4 per cent. guarantee.
The report was then adopted unanimously.
A dividend was then declared for the past half-year at

Some formal business having been transacted, the
meeting was brought to a close by
a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors, the whole proceedings having
occupied less than half an hour.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat, both old and new, were but moderate. The
rade, however, was in a sluggish state, at the recent fall in
prices. New red wheat was quoted at 41a to 445, white 43s
to 475, and Talavera 4'3s to 522 per quarter.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
In most descriptions a limited business was transacted at
the rates current on Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about
previous rates.
Barley—the supply of which on sale was but moderate—
met a slow inquiry on former terms.
The malt trade was quiet at Monday's quotations.
The market was well supplied with oats. Most qualities
were in fair average request at late rates.
Beans and peas ruled firm at late currencies.
In flour, a limited business was transacted, at about
stationary prices.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD RACES-THURSDAY.

Although one or two of the bookma'ers protested in loud
terms against the running of Pupil in the fiat race, they
subsequently plied their avocation with their usual industry ;
the denouncement of the County Members' Plate haying been
"a ramp and a robbery" by one influential bookmaker, and
the favourite's defeat in the next race established confidence
in the ring, and the Ebor Handicap betting underwent fur-
ther extraordinary changes. Fine weather continuing, the
attendance• was unusually numerous, that industrious craft,
the card she rpers, lining the way to Port Meadows in the
hopes or finding fiats at the seat of learning. Before the
races commenced East Lancashire was made favourite for
the Ebor Handicap. At first Bto I, then 7to 1, and finally
5 to 1 was taken about him for that event, whilst Welcome
went cut of favettr 10 to 1; Raglan, at offers of 4to 1,
finding but few supponers. The Higbflyer's dam colt had
backers at 100 to 15, though he at one time looked some-
what fiehy. The racing:. which will be found amply detailed
below, was only productive of passing incidents. The prin-
cipal event of the day, th.,, Oxfordshire Stakes, was ‘voa
easily by the Whitewall filly Finesse, sister to Ace of Clubs.
