EXETER MARKETS, FRIDAY. Cattle Market.—A
good supply of fat beasts, with but a dull sale, prices
however remaining nearly the same as last week from 8s
to 9s per score. Other kinds of stock were a drug.
Cows and calves were from 8/ to 141 each ; barreners
from 4s 6d to Ss per score ; butchers' calves, Sid to 6d
per lb ; sheep were very plentiful, upwards of 1,400
being penned ; fat weathers sold at 53a1 to 54d ; ewes,
5d to 51d per lb ; keeping sheep were not saleable, ex-
cept at lower rates than lately. Pork Carcases.—A
good time of year supply, which moved off but slowly
although last week's rates were in general sustained—
prices ranging from 7s to 9s per score. Pannier.—Tur-
keys, 4s 6d to 6s each ; geese, 4s to 6s ditto ; ducks, 3s
6d to 5s per couple ; fowls, 2a 6d to 4s ditto ; pheasants,
6s per brace ; partridges, 2s 9d to 3s ditto ; hares, 2s
6d to 3s each ; rabbits, Is lgd per couple ; roasters, 4s
to 5s 6d ; woodcocks, 5s per brace ; butter, lld per lb ;
eggs, 10 to 12 for Is; potatoes, is 2d to is 4d per score.
Corn Exchange.—The wheat market to-day has been
quiet, nor can there be much diff,rence noticed in price
from the last week. Warranted samples of old wheat,
which were not very freely offered, were worth fromBs to
8s 3d per bushel. For the finest samples of warranted
new wheat 7s 6d was in some instances given, but infe-
rior qualities were hardly saleable at any price. Barley,
4s to 4s 3d per bushel ; oats, 2s 3d to 2s 6d ; fine flour,
41s to 43s per sack.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 17.—The duties on grain and flour
are without any change this wet k. There was a limited
attendance of millers and dealers at our market this
morning. The demand for wheat and flour was very
dull, and the prices for both were barely equal to those
paid un Tuesday. A parcel of Western Canal flour has
changed hands at 26s per barrel in bond. Oats and oat-
meal maintained late rates. Barley, beans, and peas
were each unchanged in value. There was a steady de-
mand for Indian corn, and fully Tuesday's prices were
obtained.
HULL COMMERCIAL REPORT, Nov. 15.—0 f linseed
the arrival this week is insignificant us compared with
previous supplies; we notice 448 quarters from Arch-
angel, and 1,324 quarters from Konigsberg; together
1,772 quarters. The Archangel is going to warehouse
for winter sale; the latter is on the market, and partly
sold. Rapeseed arrivals are to a limited extent; the
lateness of the season will prevent supplies of moment
reaching us in this year from Denmark or Germany.
We do not notice any change in demand, which is
trifling, and the quotations remain at 241 per last. Brown
rape oil has become flatter, and a reduction of lOs per
ton accepted. For linseed cakes there is at last a little
more animation in the demand, and the amount of busi-
ness done is considerable since last Friday. Of bones no
supplies fresh up. or business in them.
ASHBURTON FAIR, Nov. 14.—There were very few
fat bullocks and a very large supply 01 sheep. The for-
mer sold slowly at low rates, the latter declined from 2s
to 4s a head. Wool trade excessively dull. Corn, little
or no alteration. The horse fair was not worth attend-
ing.. Fat bullocks for Christmas, 60,, average quality,
48s to 525; fat steers, 40s to 455; cows and calves, 52s
to 56s per cwt; poor steers, 30s per cwt. Fat sheep, 5d
to 5i(1; wool, 41d per lb. Wheat, old, Iss to 16s; new,
lOs to 14s per 125 lbs.; barley, 5s 6d to 8s per 2 bushels;
oats, 63 to 7s per 2} bushels.
DODBROOK MARKET, Nov. 15.—We had an average
supply of stock, with a very limited demand, prices fur
all descriptions receded from 5.1 to 103 per cent. Prime
Christmas bullocks, 60s to 655; good marketable fat
heifers, 50s to 52s 6d; rough half fed stem, 40s to 455;
store stock, 30s; cows and calves (cheaper), 48s to 52s
6,1 par cwt. Sheep, 5d to 511 Wool, 41d to 5d per lb.
Wheat, 93 to 16s; barley, 63 to 73 6d; oats, 63 to 7s
per bag.
NEWTON, Nov. 15.—Newton market was very dull,
owing in some measure to Ashburton Fair being the day
before. Beef, from 6i to 7d per lb.; mutts n, 5d and 6d
per lb.; pork, 6d per lb.; (had carcases, from 8s to 9s
per score.--Poultry.—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 5s each;
geese, 4s to 4s 9d ditto; fowls, 2s 9d to 3s per couple;
ducks, 4s to 5s ditto. Butter, 10d to llid per lb.; eggs,
14d per doz .n; potatoes, is 2d to Is 3d per score. A
large quantity of slip and sucking pigs, for which there
was a great demand. Sheep and bullocks slight supply.
There was no alteration in the price of corn.
Irsvcacii, Nov. 14.—We had a much less supply of
stock at market to day than last week, and, with the ex-
ception of about two score of fat beasts from London,
there was nothing else of any nuts in the market. Fat
sheep very scarce; store beasts very short; and very
hate business done.

Beans ... 156 3E 1

EYE, Nov. 1.4.7-We_had a full market, but the bus

ness was very slack. New wheat selling at from 24s 6d
to 26s 61; barley also sold at lower prices than the
week previous, with a reduction of re'out is per coomb,
and but few sales made. Beans, 16s; peas, 181; and
Oats, 12s to 13s per coomb.
WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 13.—Tlie supply this day of all
grain was less than last week; yet, rrom the decline at
the comurning markets, wheat rece led 2s per quarter,
and the finest malting barley 3s. Old beans in request,
and the turn dearer.
BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. 15,—We had a fair sup-
ply of wheat here to day, and the 'trade much as last
week. Barley was more than equal to the demand;
coarse qualities may be quoted fully 2s per quarter
lower, and the best description Is, buyers acting with
great caution, even at this reduction. Very few beans
and peas, at about late prices. Fine oats commanded
quite as much money; interior sorts dull of sale.
STOWMARKET, Nov. 16.—Our farmers being still en-
gaged in seeding, the supply of corn at market to-day
was not large, yet sales were slow for wheat at about
last week's prices. Best barley was full is 6d to 25 per
quarter lower. In other things we had little or no
alteration.
LLANERCUYMEDD MARKET.—At this market, held
last Wednesday, wheat sold at from 50s to 525; barley,
at 30s to 335; oats, 16s to 17s per quarter. At the but-
cher's stalls beef was sold at from 4d to sd; mutton,
6d to 7d; veal, 5d to 6d. per pound; young pigs, 8s to
10s each; store ditto, 20s to 25s each; fat ditto, 3/4 to •
to aid per pound.

. .
DENBIGH, Nov. 15.—The market, this day, was well
attended; but, in consequence of the London market be-
ing lower, it had a corresponding effect 'on this. For
wheat there was a good demand, at 183 apd 19s; barley,
12s to I3s; oats, 6s to 6s 6d per hobbet; fresh butter,
10d to Is; salt ditto, 81d. to 9,1 per pound.
MOLD, Nov. 15,—Tbe number of both buyers and
sellers to-day was far from numerous, with the prices of
grain receding, and not much business done. Wheat,
las to 18, 6d; barley (from samples), 12s; oats, 7s to
7s 61 per hobbet.
RHYL, Nor. 14.—Our market to-day was well attended
by farmers and factors, and a fair supply of wheat and
beans was offered for sale, at a reduction of 6d to 9d per
hobbet for both articles. Of barley and oats but Jew
samples were produced—which nearly fetched the quo-
tations of last week; still, we must say, that the value of
these articles had a declining tendency. Wheat, per
hobbet of 1681bs, 18s 6d to 19s; barley, per hobbet of
1471b5, lis to Ils 9d; oats, per hobbet of 1651b5, 6s 3d
to 75.; beans, per hobbet of 1801bs, 13s to 14,. Some
few parcels of superior seed wheat and malting barley,
realised the quotations of our last market. A few cart
loads of potatoes and turnips (which met a ready sale),
were brought to market._

DUNDEE, Nov. 13.—Wheat, 55s to 58s; foreign ditto,
58s to 60s; barley, 25s Gil to 27; oats, 21s 6d to 22s 6d.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON

AND EASTERN JUNCTION.
Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors
in this company was held at the eieorge and Vulture
Tavern, to receive the report of the committee appointed
at a meeting of the proprietors on the 6th inst., and to
adopt such measures as in the present state of the com-
pany's affairs might appear expedient. Mr. Arthur.
Briggs, of Lewes, took the chair.
The CHAIRMAN read the report. It stated that in
pursuance of the instructions given the committe had
caused the necessary notices to be given of application to .
Parliament for powers in the ensuing session to limit
the undertaking to the construction of the line between
Bulwell, Nottingham, and Grantham, to reduce the capi-
tal to 650,0001., and to obtain powers for the amalgama-
tion, sale, or lease of the line to the Great'Northern
or Midland Companies. This proposal had been con-
sidered by the board of directors, but on a division
a majority decided agiinst such application being_.,.
made. It was of the highest importance that every
means should be taken to limit the responsibilities of the
proprietors, and to reduce the outlay on construction of,.
new works. The adoption of the course suggested
would remove alt apprehension as ..to the extent of the
proprietors' liabilities, and restore their.proßerty to its
fair value. The complete information acquired by the
committee in their investigation touching the superioe
value of the portion of the line in course of construction,
and the interior prospects presented by all other parts
of the undertaking, imposed the necessity of adopting r
this course. Notice to this effect had been given to 800
proprietors, and replies had been received from 600, of
whom only 29 dissented from the proposal. Tho direc-
tors had intimated that if Parliamentary notices were
given at all, the proprietors must do it for themselves: ,
If the capital were now reduced to 650,0001., as more ,
than one-half had already been paid, the very object
required by the shareholders of seeking powers to re-
duce the capital would be to bring the company within
the beneficial operation of the resolutions of Parliament •
for amalgamation.

The CHAIRMAN proceeded at some length to amplify
on the report, and a long discussion ensued, in which
Mes:rs. Field, Kettrick, Brooks, and others took part.
An amendment to the adoption of the report was pro•
posed by Mr. Nictiou., to the effect that it. was the opi.;
nion of the meeting that further litigation on the corn- • '
pany's affairs would at the present time be only detri-
mental
to its interests.
The amendment, on being put to the vote, 'Wactost
by a majority of 30.
A requisition was then agreed to calling upon the di.••
rectors to convene an early meeting, signed by twenty.
shareholders, representing an aggregate share interest.
of 20,0001. in the company, to take into consideration.
the question of limiting the undertaking and capitak
and to obtain powers to amalgamate with either the
Great Northern, the Midland, or Eastern Connate'
Company; to adopt measures for an improved minage-'.
menr, and to make a change in the present board of
directors, who, in the mean time, are called on to ab-
stain from making any further calls.

OPENING OF THE LIVERPOOL, BOLTON, AND
BURY RAILWAY.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 17.—T0-day the formal opening of
this railway t iok place.. The line is cobsidered one of
great importance, and it will take in all the goods and
passenger traffic 'from Yorkshire, and the whole of the
coal traffic from Bolton and the neighbouring districts.
The morning being exceedingly unfavourable prevented
the attendance of directors and their friends from being
so numerous as it would otherwise have been. Shortly
after ten o'clock several of the principal directors, with
other persons either directly or indirectly interested in
the working of the line, assembled at the station now in
course of erection in Great Howard-street. A train of
handsome carriages, comprising three first, three second,
and one third class carriage, were attached to the engine,
and shortly before eleven o'clock, all being ready, the
party left the station amidst the congratulations of the
spectators who.had assembled to witness the proceedings.
A dinner or lunch was to b 3 provided at Bolton, when it
was expected the usual interesting proceedings connected
with the opening of a new line of railway would take
place. The train would return to Liverpool in the
evening. The cost of the line is estimated at 900,0004,
which includes the expense of the land. The line liits.icS
over 26 bridges, and 48 bridges cross the road. There
are six viaducts, and the road enters Liverpool at the
north end over. 117 arches. The..principal station will
shortly be erected in Tithebarn-street, and the arches
will have to be extended to the centre of the town. The
line will effect a saving in the distance to Wigan .of
about five miles, and in.going from Wigan to Bolton the
journey will only occupy about 15 minutes, which previ-
ously took two hours. The line has been inspected by
Captain Wynne, the Government inspector, who ex-
pressed his approbation of the manner in which the work
has been performed. The railway will be opened for the
daily tranzanission of goods and passengers on Monday
next.
