NOTTINGHAM—JuLY 30.
The show of wheat was fair, and a thin attendtineo of,
farmers. Wheat was in good demand at fully late pilerr.
Very little barley on offer. Oats in small supply, with t
fair inquiry. Beans a scanty show. In this neighbourhooo
the crops have not received,much, damage by heavy rat a'
'
and from present appearances a good yield may be expecte I
although not equal to last year.

Here, to-day, there was rather a fair attendance of fa

in some instances is per qr. for the best samples. In other
grain there was scarcely anything doing. Flour again
favour of the seller.

DURABILITY OF SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS.-----
a meeting of the Electric and International Telegraph Ca"'
pany, held on Friday, Mr.:R. Stephenson, M.P., presidl
for the purpose of declaring a dividend for the past bt;,,
year at the rate of 6i per cent. per annum, the chair
man said, in in recommending the appropriation of tue
balance of £6,690 to the trust or reserve fund, his opini°o
was unfavourable to the durability of submarine cables
their present state ; and that, although improvements scla
doubtless hereafter be introduced, and lines will exten.
over the whole world, it is absolutely necessary, under 01r0
isting circumstances, to keep a large reserve to meet tIA
cost of deterioration. Some cables were found to wear 0 „
in five or six years; others would last ten,_ or even twelsr,
vv,
or more; but, taking ten as the average, the companYll,,,do
ing expended £140,000 on marine lines, ought to lay s7Ol
£14,000 yearly. The land lines are kept in repair frvo
week to week, and are consequently as good one year ¢t
another, but this is manifestly impossible with those toe.
are submerged. In reply to some remarks by a ell b.
holder, Mr. Stephenson observed that he knew no fill
marine line which of itself yielded a profit.
