MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast-
wise, has been confined to only 2,350 quarters, mostly
from Essex, Kent, and Lincolnshire. Fresh up to-day
the receipts by land carriage were limited; hence, the
show of samples of both rod and white was small. There
were very few large buyers in attendance; nevertheless
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce
ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on
Monday, and a good clearance was eff. cted. Rather
over 13,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have coma in.
Selected qualities were in moderate request, at full rates
of currency. In low kinds very little was doing,
at late rates. Floating cargoes of Wheat were
very dull, but Indian Corn was 6d to Is dearer.
The show of English Barley was small,
that of foreign
moderate. Malting parcels sold freely; other kinds
slowly at late rates. No change took place in the value
of Malt. The show of samples was tolerably good. The
imports of foreign Oats having exceeded 40,000 quarters
the Oat trade was dull, and prices were 6d to is per
quarter lower than last week. Beans and Peas com-
manded very little attention; but:Flour moved off steadily
at full currencies.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
Beasts, the general quality of which was good. All
breeds commanded a steady sale, at fully Monday's ad-
vance in the quotations; indeed, in some instances the.
primest Scots were a shade higher. The numbers of
Sheep were seasonably extensive, nevertheless the
Mutton trade ruled somewhat firm at very full prices.
A few prime old Downs realised 4s per 81bs. Lambs
were quite as dear as last week. From the Isle of
Wight 450 came fresh to hand. We had an active
sale for Calves, at an improvement in value of quite 2d
per 81bs. The Pork trade was dull. Mulch Cows were
inimproved request, at from 171 to 191 108 each, in-
cluding their small calf.

ing and Hunt, at public sale, being landed in bad con-
dition, sold at prices proportionate to quality and con-
dition. The stock of Lemons is diminishing, but the

would advance. Nuts of all kinds are in good demand.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
CIIESTER AND HOLYHEAD.
A special mpeting of this company was held at the
Euston Station yesterdsy—Mc. S. M. Pctc, M.P., in
the chair—to consider a Bill for making an extension
line from the Chester and Holyhead Railway, and other
purposes. . _

The advertisement convening the meeting having been
read,

Toe CILAIRMIN said,—Gentlemen, I shall have occa-
sion to address to you a very few remarks. That pore
tion of the Bill relative to the Birkenhead exteusion
having been abandoned, at least for this year, in conse-
quence of certain arrangements entered into between the
London and North-Western and Birkenhead and Che-
shire Junction Companies, in which arrangements,
need nct say, your interests have been duly consulted,
the arrangements of the Bill may now be said SiMPIY to
consist of two heads—one of which authorises the crea-
tion of preference steek in lieu of the present debentures
of the company—such preference stock being gun'
ranteed by the London and North-Western Coops*,
It will be found also that the Bill prohibits the issue 0'
the preference stock for any other purpose than the liqui-
dation of the debenture debt, which has been created
under the powers of the company's various Acts of Par-
liament. I need not, lam sure, point out to you that
the simple fact of the London and North-Western Bait'
way having consented to endorse our preference stock
will enable us to raise money at a lower rate of interest
than we could do upon our credit only; and to sh°lr
how great the importance of any such saving must be
to us, I need only remind you that a reduction of 1 per
cent. on the interest of our debt will effect 8
saving of 10,0001. a year. Therefore, it BP;
pears to me, that the measure must cowmen"
itself to you as a most judicious arrangement 0t1„
the part of the board, combined with an act 0'
great liberality on the part of the directors of the 1,00"
don and North-Western Company.—(Cheers.) Gerl;
