The Michaelmas half-year rent audit of the Llwynybrain Estate (the property of Mr J. P. C. Vaughan Pryee Rice) w as held at the Whitehall Inn, Llandovery, last week, when an abatement of ten per cent. was made to all the tenants. IMPORTATIONS OF LIVE STOCK FROM AMERICA. —The rg-p rt for 1895 presented by the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States contains some interesting particulars concerning the duties dis- charged by his department in supervising the inspection of live animals for export from United States ports. He states that in the fiscal year 1895, 350,808 shtep were exported from the United Siates, showing an increase of 264,999, or 300 per cent, over 1894. The total number of cattle and sheep exported during the year was 675,107 animals. Every bovine animal was tagged and numbered, and each number was registered, so that individual animals could be identified. All the cattle were certified to be free from disease. Attention is specially directed to the difficulties connected with sheep shipments, owing to their liability to contract disease. All vessels in he export cat Ie and sheep trade have during the year been thoroughly inspected by officers of the bureau of animal industry. In November, 1895, the steams/lip Bovic, one of the well-known cattle and freight steamers of the White Star Line, left New York with 600 head of cattle and 1300 sheep, and landed the whole of her living freight in Birkenhead without having lost a single head. Yesterday the steamship Tauric, belonging to the same company, arrived in the Mersey with the large number of 730 cattle and 1505 sheep, all alive and well as when they left New York, not an animal having been lost. Having regard to the extremely tempestuous wt-ather recently reported by incoming steamers as having been experienced in the Atlantic, the Taurtc's immunity from loss must be very satis- factory both to the shipper and the shipowner.
. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. The course of the markets since the 13th has bepn rather reactionary, the simultaneous disappearance of South African and German crises telling agains trade. For it is one of the signs of a season like the present, unsustained as it is by natural buoy ancy of winter demand, that while outside events give a very slight fillip when critical, they leave a distinct feeling of depression when the crises has pass. d away. English wheat at most of the markets ha* been far too scarce for value to decline, but foreign sorts are 3d lower as a rule, and here and there en American 6d decline is allowed. Austra- lian, New Z aland, and Chilian samples maybe ranked" ith English as firm through scarcity. Flour is in slightly improved demand at Liverpool, but London trade was extremely restricted. The spring corn trade has been firm for barley, there being a recovery in the deimnd for heavy sortg, as well as a good sustained inq niry for feed- in descriptions. Ma:ze ia 3d per qr dearer on the week for American, 1,ut ro better for Argentine, SampI*; for bfttrtjsle, the American finds rather more favour than the yellow corn. Beans have been neglected, but peas are firm. Oatmeal has b eD in fair request at full prices at the north country markets. Light Russiau oats have sold very steadily at Maik Lane, but ordinary Engli-h oats have been somewhat neglected at the countiy exetianges. -Atari, Lane Express.

BRADFORD WO )L, Monday.—The London sales have thoroughly confirmed prices of raw materials here, and although there is no quotable change in prices the tone is very strong and buyers willingly pay current rates.

TOWYN.
TOWYN. THE COUNTY SCHOOL.—The managers of Towyn County School considering it hignly important to bring the best literature within reach of the pupils, ao appeal on tht-ir behalf by Mr H. Haydn Jones, chairman, and Mr D. H. Davieg, the headmaster, is being m-ide to the public for contributions of books for the library. TONFANAIT STATION. —This is a new station on the Cambrian Railway between Towyn and Llwyn- gwril, constructed mainly for the purpose of ship- ping building stone from the Llechlwyd Quarry to Towyn. The station will also be a great con- venience to an extensive farming district. The station and sidingi were inspected on Wednesday, January 22nd, by the Board of Trade Inspector previous to being opened for traffic. VOLUNTEERS.-In addition to the large force which has already secured camping and training ground for the summer, the Mersey Volunteer Infantry Brigade, expected to turn out five battalions with a strength of two thousand, are making arrangements for coming to Towyn in August. There is also every probability that Mr John Corbett, of Ynysymaengwyn, will erect on Penllyn Marsh, i.e., the camping ground, suitable quarters and mess rooms for the officers and a range of stables for their horses. CORBETT AVENUE AND TRAM ROAD.-The con- tract for constructing the Corbett Avenue, which is to be the main street of Towyn-on-Sea, is to be let this week, and so is the contract for the tram- road from the Tonfanau Railway Station to the Llechlwyd Quarry. So far no local contractors have had the chance to tender for these works. This is a departure from the ordinary policy of the Ynysmaengwyn Estate. It is much to be hoped that the Estate will revert to the good custom of giving local tradesmen a chance for such works, especially as there are competent men in the district who have carried out extensive works of the kind in the most satisfactory manner. PONTRICKET BOARD SCHOOL.—This (school was, up to a rf-cent d'lte, under the charge of Mr E. Jones, present headmaster of Pennal Scho-l, and when the result of his work for the lat school year came under the observation of the Managers, Mr Hughes, who has done yeoman service for the cause of education in the neighbourhood, referred to the highly satis- factory condition in which the Pontricket School had been left by the late master, Mr Edward Jones, now in charge of the Pennal Board School, Her Majesty's Inspector's report for the year ended last August was the most favourable one the School had ever received and exempted it from the usual examination at the end of the present school year. The late master had alco gained the excellent merit grant for drawing. Mr Hughes warmly congratu- lated the parents and ratepayers of Tiegeiriog on the prosperous state of the School, and expressed his firm belief that the present Master would worthily maintain its prestige. WDDING. -On Thursday of last week, at San- down, Isle of Wight, was solemnised the marriage of Mr T. Cletnent Thomas. of Bedlinog, Glamorgan- shire, and Miss Katie Daniel, second daughter of the late Mr Owen Daniel, of Towyn and Aber- vstwyth. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev D. M.

The minutes were afterwards re n. ARISING OUT OF THE MINTTTES. The CLERK said rhat Mr John Williams Gwern- hefin, Bala. agent to Mrs Royle, when interviewed, agreed to accept f5 as compensation for the mis- chief done to one of the rivers, which matter had been before tne Board at its last meeting It was agreed to p,y the jE5, which, consequently, dis- charged the dt bt. The CHAIRMAN—That is over then ? The CLERK—Yes. The following letter was read from Mr Edmund Buckley, 2, B- lie Vue, Barmouth —In ieply to the enquiries (If your Board as to my having used a salmon net iu the Dovey in private waters I may say that it was put in the waer for th purpose of keeping up a rigi)t of fishery, and that I was totally uuaware that a license to fish in pub'ic a era was not available in private waters. It doea no con- vey sufficiently plainly this facc on th, li-eris. itself or I would most certainly have taken out another license." The CLERK explained that the net was put in the water m. r ly to exercise a right. The CHAIRMAN F.bse ved that he had been in the same position as Mr Buckley some years ago H. did not then know that a hcense to fish in public waters was not also applicable to private waters. The CLERK added that the object of Mr Buck), y was not to catch fish. The CHAIRMAN thought the explanation of Mr Buckley satisfactory, and he suggested that It should be accepted. Mr RICHARD RKEs aeked if the bailiff was satisfied wit., the reply of Mr Buck ey, wherenp Bailiff Humphreys rejoined that the net was no used in a proper way. Mr J. LEIGH TAYLOR also entertained the opinion that the explanation should be accepted. On the motion of Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS. seconded by Mr G H. ELLIS, it was resolved to accept the explanation. The CLERK, perusing the minutes, ai,i that proceedings as directed by the Board had been instituted agiin t t'o men for illegal fishing and convictions obtained in each instance. XIn reply to the Clerk, Mr EDWARD ROWLANDS, who was appointed cmvener of a committer re con- sider the question of the close season as affecting the several livers in the district, stated th At the Committee had not yet met but he would endeavour to call it togeth, r between the meeting h"ld that day and the next, when he hoped to Bubrnit a report. COMMUNICATION. A communication was received from the Mach ynlleth Urban District Council enclosing thf- following resolution, which the Council hoped would be adopted by the Board: That the Council respectfully asked the Board to recensider the byelaw in regard to the close time for salmon fishing in the river Dovey, and to peti'ion the Board of Trade to have the time available for salmon fishing with rod and line extended to the 15th November." It was agreed to consider the matter at the end of the meeting, when Mr Richaid Rees point, d out that a communication had been sent to Sir Watkin with reference to this question, but no reply had been received. The season at present came to an end on the 15th September. If the time was ex'endei as desired it would prove of great advantage to the inhabitants of the town of Machynlleth and to anglers in general. The CHAIRMAN said he had seen Sir Watkin "hh regard to the matter, and he seemed t-) be anxious to come to an understanding with regard to the question, so as to satisfy all parties. In reply to a member, Mr RICHARD REES said that during six weeks of what might ba term. d the best part of the season, anglers were not allowed to fish because of the system which was at present in force. The CHAIRMAN informed Mr Rees that he was quite in sympathy with his views on the qu^a'ion, and that he would forward afurther communication to Sir Watkin on the matter. The subject was then allowed to drop. IRREGULAR PROCEEDINGS. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS asked what the Standing Orders were with regard to the rescinding of re- solutions passed by the Board. His object in wanting to obtain that knowledge was that at a former meeting it as resolved to dismiss all tfa- water bailiffs, and at the next meeting ( he last one) it was decided to retain one of the bailiffs The CLERK replied that no resolution c uld h. rescinded until six months had elapsed, un ess three-fourths of the members present at a meeting declared the matter one of urgency. The CHAIRMAN took it, therefore, that the resolu- tion passed at the last mee ing to retain one ot t! e bailiffs was invalid. The question of urgency was not discussed. Mr OSMOND WILLTAMS obseWed that the bailiff- had been dismissed because the Board were in straightened circumstances. The CHAIRMAN said he would like to have the opinion of the Board on the matter. The Clerk read the resolution of a pr*»*i<>u»- meeting to dismi-a the bailiffa, but to r £ -'eng<ge them during the mouths of December and1 January. The resolution of the last jneeting- was a^^o re d, when it was agreed to re-appoiut Humphreys. The CHAIRMAN said it appeared to him that tho last meeting had passed a resolution which should not have been passed. The matter, however, rented with the Board, but if he might say anythi g as Chairman, he thought Mr Williams had pointed out a blot relating to the re-appointment of Humphreys. Mr OSMONB WILLIAMS proposed that thin Board considers the proceedings at the last Board with regard to the reappointment of Humphrey- contrary to the Standing Orders. Mr R. PRYS OWEN seconded the proposition. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS said if the Board desired he would go further. and ask the Chairman to rule that the resolution passed at the last meeting was out of order. The CHAIRMAN said he did not approve of the last suggestion of Mr Williams. The CLERK, in reply to a member, said Humphreys was originally appointed subject to three months' notice on either side. In reply to Alderman Lewis, the CLERK said it was provided in the resolution of the September meeting that Humphreys was to be re-engaged during December and January. The CHAIRMAN remarked that he was unable to attend the last meeting, but he felt strongly that the resolution passed was out of order. Mr D. G. JONES pointed out that Humphreys was engaged before another engagement had expired. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS concurred. Mr EDWARD ROWLANDS asked, if the resolution was out of order, could they pay the Bailiff for his services ? Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS rejoined that consequent upon what was passed at the September meeting Humphreys was their servant to the end of January. The proposition of Mr Osmond Williams was then put to the meeting and carried without oppo- sition. Mr LEWIS LEWIS took it that the Board could not now re-engage the bailiffs before six months had elapsed. The CHAIRMAN answered that bailiffs could be appointed at any time upon the question of urgency being decided. Mr D. G. JONES said the Board were now dis- turbing the resolution passed in September. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS and the CHAIRMAN stated that the reason why the bailiffs had been dismissed was owing to the Board's insolvency. One member said it would serve those persons present at the October meeting right if they were made to pay for the services of Humphreys. The CLERK asked how were the Board going to decide the matter assuming Humphreys took a I hostile attitude? 1 The CHAIRMAN—Will von tell me who is to pay ? The CLERK-I do not know. The CHAIRMAN added that the Board had now snly £ 9 Is. in hand. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS said the members pre- j sent at the October meeting had performed an illegal action. The CLERK, in reply to a member, said he was present at. the last meeting when he pointed out the financial state of the Board, and suggested that the matter under discussion should be deferred. However, Humphreys was appointed, and conse- 1 juently he would have to be paid. Mr JOHN ROWLANDS thought the Board were liable. < Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS said it was a question of < law. Members of the Board bad acted irregularly, ind the question now consisted, of a technical legal point. < Mr JOHN ROWLANDS asked if it would .notth# advivible to pass some resolution, say, to give Bailiff thrre month'* notice.f The CHAIRMAN rejoined that that would stulW the resolution passed, wher< up n Mr ROWLANDS asked if it would not be prefer- of able to cr nsider the matter when the question fiuance was liiscuf-sed. He added that the <■» trict would soon be in a serious plight if w l e no ke>-p rs kept. The CHAIRMAN replied that w ith the exoep of Humphreys no keeper had acted for the Bo# during the winter. It was considered advisable that shml i leave the room during further considef m- tter wflih he accordingly did. The CHAIRMAN said the Board had no funds With which to pay the keeper. J) Replying to Mr Lewis Lewis, Mr OSIOe WILLIAMS said if the worst came to 'he wor-t t Bcard would only have to pay titree mouths' sal**?' The CLERK—And the bail ff would have to gl his services 11 Dr GROSHOLZ said if Humphreys had bee properly spp^iiited he would h^v-. t b i paid. Mr D G. JONES a ked if the Board going on witli the workiug of the district wi^hoU at y bailiff ? ad vJr G. H ELLIS observed that a suggestion .bl1 been thrown > u that Humphrey* should be give" three m )nihs'notice, and the Board wnuld tbeo have t engage him for the m-xo three months she'r eervant. On the motion of Mr JOHN ROWLANDS. secfnd by Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS, it w, agreed to declare the ma ter as being urgent. t In answer to the Chairman,the CLERK tatedtha if Humphn ys was engaged to the end If February the Board w uld be short of £ 4 10", with Wfiicb to pay him for his services The ASSISTANT CX^BBK P"INFED out that a< count ot £ 2 would be shortly remitted to th* Board ai d the Clerk added that a mm of f5 VVO toe me in fr-m Machynlleth. This would give tbeni an amouut of 916 Is. in hand. After paying Humphreys for t-ervices up to the end of February the B,:ard would be f2 10s. in hand. Mr LEWIS LEWIS proposed that the bailiff be offe, e,i aii ei,giigemerit up to ti-e end of Fc-bruarfi 0 inditionally upou his uot pressing for the three months' notice Mr D. G. JONES again asking if the Board werB in.: t" re-engage bailiffs, the CHAIRMAN s id thilt f he gentle n. n who c inatiluted th" B a,d were pi pared to pay for tho-ir services they m'ght doso, Mr fHOMAS said he had no doubt that Humphrey' would ac>.ept tile off r. The CHAIRMAN—That will settle it all. The proposition was then agreed to. Humphreys was then called in and agreed to accept ilie Board's offer. He also stated that be vould not press for th- three months' notice, and subsequently signed an agreement to this effect. THE WATER BAILIFF'S REPORT. Mr H. Humphreys, who is now the only bailig engaged by the Board, submitted his fourth quarterly report for the year 1895. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS askd if there was any' tr ing very important in the report, to which the CLERK replied that there was nothing of special import contained in it. As several numbers were desirous of leading by the afternoon train, it nas agreed not to go through the report. Ou the suggestion of Mr LEWIS LEWIS it was agreed to hand it o-,er to the representative of the Cambrian News for publication in that paper- The report stated that owmg to a shirp froitt and the wat-r becoming very low at the end of the s ason it proved 01 great; disadvantage to anglers. The rivers were W..}¡ stocked with fish in the lowef waters at the end of Ocober. The Bailiff had seeil fish spawning i November, and inlfact spawning we$ f, vourable all through that month. The t-aso$ had proved a good one for summer fish which had now almost finished spawning. When he (the Baiiiff) visited Dolgelley on December 2«d he noticed that the water was doing harm to both i lea of the river Geulanfronwian and th- flood in November had carried yards of land aw,v. Of the 6th December, wheu he visired Talyllyn, he there saw a salmon about ten lbs in weight. Cori- -idoable trouble had bern occasioned by nigbt poaching about the districts of Cemmes and Cwm* lline during the moutns of November and Decem- ber, 1895. He regretied to say that in the Divey and its tributaries several fish h-d did frolØ disease, but the number of diseased fish which had perished was not to he compared with the number v. hich had perished a few years ago. The season had been marked for early spawning, which the Bailiff ascri' ed to be due to the flood in November, and the favourable wacer up to the end of last year. THE FINANCIAL POSITION. The Board then procee led to consider the ac- counts of receipts and expenditure for the year 1895. The CLERK stated that the balance in hand on January 1st, 1895, wac JE53 Is. lid. January 1st, 1896, £ 9 Is. Ttie i;ems were then gone through and m reply to the Chairman the Clerk said the Audit Committee had been presented with vouchers for each item. The Clerk added that the' e was a cons ierable decrease during the last year in the ama.,nrs received fro i. the several I towns within the Boa d's district in respect of angling. He (ti e Clerk) had been privat-iy told that persons were not particular as to the taking: out of licenses and simply obtained permission ■ ickets. Those in possession of these tlek-ts had no right to fish in the rivers under the supervision of ttie Board. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS said the e was no person to prevent them from fishingjin the Board's rivers. On thti m tion of Mr THOMAS, seconded by Mr RICHARD REES, the balance sheet was approved. The CHAIRMAN said the fin&ocial position of the Board had now been fully explained rhe Board was virtually bankrupt. With regard to the super- vision of the rivers they could do nothing at 1 res- nt. He regretted to f-ay that there were great c, mptaints in relation to poaching. Ther* was one letter from Mr Phelps stating that the destruction ou the waters of the Dovey was lamentable There were complaints frou ther percons as well. Mr biiimund Buckley was also complaining, and Mr Oemund Widiams had to engage men to watch one of the rivers. Complaints were numerous all round the d-Sirict, He p'op ised aa the be-t and fairest way that the Board should revert to the old systetn •lid give 'O each diairict, pro rata, what its rivet earned. The reports of the bailiffs, no doubr, very itattru-s-ing, ba he could cot say th.y were of use. Reports of this description could be supplied by any of the leeal wat-r bailiffs with n the Board's district. Be did not think the Board could afford t;) keep a man at a salary of 30s per week; they had nofuKts. Each district would h..ve the power of appointing their own servant4,, and th- funds should b. divided, pro rata, according t6 the earuings of each river. In that way they #ouI I be dea'liftg fairly with the riparian owners. Thie fihauefal statement had been read and th<y ffeed not, go further with that question. It was qfoitte dear that they could not app .int any officials at present. During the summer there was no pre-sing need for biiliffs. Mr ROBERT ISAAC said it gave him plesue in seconding the proposition of Mr Wynne. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS said the Board had emy ployed five men to supervise the rivers during the past five years at a cost of f255 pyr annum. The Clerk's salary was £ 25 and his .xpens^s amounted to about JE30. which made t tal of jggto per annum, and the revenue of the Bo *rd had never exceeded £336. They could not afford to keep the men, and one man was us'-li-as. In answer to Mr Thomas, who had not quite understood the ineaning of the proposition, Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS quoted his own case. He en- gaged his own keepers, but the um paid back to him in respect of money received by licences taken out would not be adequate enough to pay the salary of the mtn be engaged. He added that the persons wno applied for permission tickets had to pay for them. The circumstances attendant upon the proposition having been fully explained, Mr THOMAS expressed himself in entire accord with the motion. The proposition to revert to the old system was- then put to the meeting and declared carried. On the motion of Mr ISAAC, seconded by Mr THOMAS, It was agreed to regard the question as one of urgency. The CHAIRMAN said he had received a long letter from Mr Wyatt, a member of the Boarä, who waff- unable to attend, stating that he thought the Board should revert to the old system of management. This, in the opinion of the writer, would he more agreeable to the riparian owners, who, consequently would be more ready to give the Board assistance when required. He suggested that the rivers should be kept open to November 15th. LICENCES. Mr THOMAS, who give notice at the last meeting- that he would move that salmon licences should be increased from 10s to £1 and that rod licences for Irout fishing should be increased to Is, proposed resolution to that effect. On the suggestion of a member. Mr Thomas agreed to first of all propose that salmon licences ihould be increased. Mr R, PRYS OWEN seconded the resolution which was carried, the matter being also declared argent. Mr THOMAS then proposed that rod licenses for trout fishing should be increas'd to Is.—There w** ao seconder to the motion, which accordingly through. MOTION. Mr EDWARD ROWLANDS moved that the Clerk's :"e as returning officer, when there was a contested slection of representative members, should be 2s., and when uncontested £ 1 Is. Mr ISAAC seconded the motion, which was agreed ;o, the Clerk stating that he was quite agreeable to ;he change. SPECIAL MEETING. tØ A member having stated that the present sy»tefl^ with regard to the duty on rod licenses should iltered, the CLERK said it would be desirable lold a special meeting in a short time if it was ;ended to amend the existing bye-law before commencement of the next season. It was agreed to meet within a month ikvi" Other business of minor importance bavioK transacted, the Board separated.
