AGRICULTURE PROMOTED BY NATIONAL UNI•
FORMITY OF GUAGE.—The Railway Guage question,
now exciting so much public attention, has a bearing on
agricultural interests more important than is apparent at
first sight. The influence of that increased facility which
railways offer for the exchange of local mineral produce
—the transfer of the coals from the north into the south,
the fuller's earth of Surrey into the cloth districts of
Yorkshire, and the flints of Kent into the Potteries of
Stafford and Worcester—cannot yet be said to be felt.
The transit of agricultural produce is beginine to ernfluce
its effects. Even this last week it has been re;at:, ~,,a. the
Eastern Counties Railway, throughout its course in Essex,
is generating a trade for supplying the metropolis with pure
milk. Since the opening of the Bristol and Exeter Railway,
numerous shops have been established in London for sup..
plying Devonshire cream, poultry, &c. You may now, in
fact, have clotted cream with your coffee at breakfast
every morning as fresh in London as the inhabitant of
Exeter himself. The effect of this on prices has been
very great, particularly in the neighbourhood of the
Great Western Railway. The half-pay officer at Ply_
mouth and Exeter is beginning to grumble that the eco.
nomical charges hitherto recul;ar to those spots are va-
Wshing. A poulterer in Exeter lest year told us boy
grievous a thing it was that he bad a long contract with
the principal inn at Exeter, to supply it all the year
round with fowls at a guinea a dczen, now that he could
send them by railway to London, and in the season realize
five and six shillings a couple !^ Again the market.
