two weeks-in which to report The rea-

withhold sentence against the Board for
while, and to examine more thoroughly in
to its operations, and that to that end
committee af three be appointed whose duty

proper. 1t shows an excellent spirit on the
part Of the farmers. They declare them
selves anxious to give the Board Of Trade
fair trial. If they 6nd it, transactions

public sentiment; il not, it viii be crushed
BY the Same power. We predict that the
committee win find fair dealing. We shall
