The New York Produce Exchange has
I not abandoned the decimal or GENITAL sys-
tenn of weights and measures for the
measurement Of grain. The board of
managers OF that institution hold to tine
belief that the change will be an i'm
provement on the old system, and to Sc
cure united action propose a convention
of delegates from all similar associations,
boards Of trade and chambers of CON-
merce in the Atlantic, western and
southern states. The invitation, or sug-
ge-tion, l. made in favor of holding said
convention at some central locality, at

The Chicago Tribune estimates the
cost OF the eight hour demonstration in
Chicago on May lstat $50, eco. Of this
sum $4,000 were the lost wages Of those
engaged in the demonstration. If to this
be added the loss in consequence of the
cessation of production, which would
certainly exceed $4,000, the cost Of the
demonstration was over $50, 000. The
Tribune estimates that the riots since the
demonstration has cost not less than
S100, 600 per day, or over i've hundred
thousand dollars cost Of the eight hour
movement for four days, nearly one-half
OF which came out Of the pockets of the
working Glass engaged in the demonstrs-
ton, who sacrificed their wages to that
enormous amount.
