In connection with the subject Of grain "
may state that many parties in Richmond e.
press desire to have report nom the con
mttee appointed many months ago to repo
/ upon "what constitutes grain delivery
There seems to be an almost insurmountab
difficulty in the way Of coming to q decisio
Be that as it may, L report Of some kind is e
pected from the committee. The committ
are Z. O. Noting, John Purcell, Frank
Stearns, G.. +. Watson, and d. W. Pickrell.
Another committee of the Chamber Of Cor
merce is now looked to with very great intere:
and that is the Committee on Manufacture
The COMMITTEES consists Of r. Z. Biankinshi
Richard Irby, l.. ID. Crenshaw, L. II. Fra
ser, and William Z. Tanner. AS it Is almo
universally conceded that Richmond can
made a great manufacturing city, tits Of gre
Importance that q full and elaborate report
presented. The committee, we believe, ha
commenced their labors.
