STAFFORDSHIRE AN LL SHROP

SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.

An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this Com-
pany took place yesterday, at the Offices of the Company,
Abingdon-street, to consider the best means of winding up
the affairs of the Company.
At one o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Brainton.
It appeared from the statements made at the meeting, that a
great deal of disreputable conduct had taken place in the ma-
nagement of the affairs of the company. A number of parties had
been elected on the committee of management to vote sums
of money for the purposes of the Company, who never held a
single share; and it also appeared that cheques had been
issued to the officers of the Company to the amount of
2,500/. for the purchase of shares, or, as it is termed, "rig-
ging the market." It was alleged that a sum (,f 300/. had
been received by Mr. Kemp, the former chairman of the Com-
pany, for which he had never accounted, and when asked for
an explanation, lie only wrote a letter to Mr. Brainton, saying
he was guiag to Paris. It also appeared that the sum of
noney paid up in the way of deposit was 17,000/., of which
)nly 8 000/. remained, while that sum was liable to some
erious claims.

Mr. TEMPLE, Q.C., explained that he was not aware when
he was on the committee of management that the cheques
were for the purpose of purchasing shares.
Much disapprobation having been expressed by the share-
holders, a resolution appointing a committee of investigation
into the accounts, and ascertaining the liabilities of the
Company, was appointed, and the meeting dissolved.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 12.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a fair business transacted in
West India Sugar, and the rates paid were 6d per cwt above
those of this day week for Refining sorts, and in several cases
yellow kinds brought prices rather above those of that time.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were much sought after
by the home trade, but few parcels are to be had. Brown
lumps are firm at 68s to 68s 6d, and standard lumps at 693
per cwt. The market for bonded Crushed Sugar is firm
33s 6d for first quality.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, but
privately a fair business was done, and at prices showing a
small advance on thosa of the last auction.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in good
request, and at public sale 2248 bags were all sold at full
rates.

OREIGN.—YeIIow !Havannah Lai been sought after, but
holders insisting on an advance on former rates of is to 2s
per cwt, business of moment has been prevented, and the only
sale is that of 800 chests of low yellow quality at 21s per
cwt; had there been sellers at a slight advance on previous
prices, it would have led to large trans iet ions. For white stiffer
rates are insisted upon, but there are few buyers at present
to be met with. There has been a good desire evinced to
operate in brown Brazil, but the stiff rates asked prevented
much business from being done ; the few parcels of white dis-
posed of were at rather higher rates. There are not sellers
of Porto Rico excepting at improved prices.
Mcd.AssF-s.—All kinds of West India are in demand, and
would command even further improved rates; but business
of moment has been prevented by the scanty supply at
market.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of
Coffee, and privately little business was transacted in any
kind, the value of good ordinary native pale Ceylon is 423
to 43s per cwt.
Cocoas—With West India the market has been much bet-
ter supplied this week, and the demand having been limited,
prices have slightly given way. Foreign is cot offered upon
lower terms, but there has been little business transacted at
present. There is, however, a less quantity offered for sale.
TEA.—The demand for black and green Tea has been con-
siderably checked by the announcement of the large quantity
of 40,000 pkgs for public sale on Tuesday, and former rates
are with difficulty to be obtained. There has been little
business transacted in any kind, as the trade seem to think
that if merchants are sellers at the approaching sales, that a
decline in prices will take place, as the stock of black and
greea in the banded warehouses is large.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was wanted, but rather higher
rates being asked, operated against business.
SPICES.—With Cassia Lignea the market has been abun-
dantly supplied this week, but merchants submitting to a
decline on late nominal rates of is to to 3s per cwt caused the
demand to be active. Cassia Buds have nearly sustained the
former value. Black Pepper is still purchased with caution by
exporters and the home trade, notwithstanding the low rates.
Of African and East India Ginger several parcels have been
disposed of privately, and at somewhat better prices; the
supply is still falling off. Jamaica has been in fair demand
at the previous currency—the middling kinds have been the
most in request privately. Pimento is wanted, and the par-
cels sold privately were at firm rates. Nutmegs have suf-
fered no further depression, and privately several parcels
have been sold at 2s 8d to 4s 2d for brown, and at is Ed to
3s forlimed. The supply is less than it was, especially of the
better kinds. Mace is wanted, but we have no further ad-
vance to notice in prices. In Cinnamon little business has
aoyfari
jeaerregafoe
car ameranregno
been transacted, low as quotations are. Cloves are heavy of
disposal, notwithstanding the low rates that prevail.
FRUIT.—In Currants lately there has been a large busi-
troeq3os,uest—ottewldchCeaheinsme

COCIIINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal was in better re-
quest, and 116 bags of Honduras were offered at auction, and
chiefly sold at full rates, viz., at 5s 7d to 6s Id per lb for low

INDIGO.--The market has a very dull appearance for all
descriptions of East India, and if parcels were to be pressed fur
sale, the rates of the last quarterly auctions would not be
sustained. In Spanish there has been little passing, low as
prices are.
