The NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE-This inn
portant body is disposing of business very
rapidly and peacefully in the city where a few
years ago nothing was heard but wars rude
alarms. On Friday Mr.. Bagley's proposition
In favor of the governments building double
track freight railroad from the wheat region of
the West to the Atlantic,,was laid on the table
The nineteenth proposition, Niagara ship
canal was considered. A resolution was
offered by Mr.. Bagley of Detroit, urging upon
Congress the necessity of constructing a ship
canal around Niagara Falls, connecting Lakes
Erie and Ontario, and appointing committee
to memorabilia Congress on this subject. The
resolution was defeated for the want Of a two
thirds vote, and being reconsidered, was adopt
ed by a vote of A to o.
The proposition that the United States shall
regulate the freight charges on the railroads Of
the United States was laid on the table.
The resolution in favor of the removal of
the limitation of national bank currency to
$4,000, 900, and that in favor of measures to
hasten the return to specie payments were
considered together. The discussion of these
subjects was characterized by the disclosure
OF remarkably divergent views. More plans
for resumption have not been preached even
in Congress than by these grave business men
No action was taken on the resolutions.
