BOARD OF TRADE.-A meeting Of the new>
ly organized Board Of Trade wss held in the
room adjoining Jed Lakes Office, in Nun,
sons block, on Saturday evening last. The
meeting was not large, but the discussion BY
those who were present, of matters affecting
the business interests of this community, was
spirited. There was . pretty general ex.
preston Of views upon the credit question,
and Whatever relse may be said about the oh.
jects and purposes Of the association, there is
no mistaking the fact that one Of its designs
is to work much needed reform in the sys-
TEN OF long and loose credit which now pre-
walls, and which is alike detrimental to cred>
itor aud debtor. The opinion Of the mem
bers-comprising very nearly all the best
business men Of the city-were expressed
very enphatically upon this subject. The
fact was elected as the result Of one sen,le-
u.ans Investigation, that there i owing to
the merchants Of Independence over $4o,-
900, very little of which il represented by
anything but book account, and much OF
which has been running for . long time.
The cash system of doing business is un-
doubtedly the very best for all parties, but il
dis % impracticable, such . system Of cred /.
it should be established as shall fix definite
time for pay asent, and shall make it impera>
tive upon the party who asks for credit, that
he meet his obligations promptly. This will
work no injustice to auy one. twill enable
the business men to do safsr business, and
it will check in those who are compelled 70
ask for time, the tendency to expenditure
beyond their ability to pay. We are con.
fdent that the Board OF Trade will Sndeavor
to establish some rule by which reform in
in this direction will be brought about.
Some mention was made at the meeting of
reports derogatory to the character Of the
organization, and it was suggested that il
make public denial Of them. This was, very
sensibly as We think, overruled. II the char.
acter Of the gentlemen who compose our
Board of Trade is not sufficient viudication

was voted that the articles of incorporation
together with the names Of the members be

The WANTS OF These
are probably many; and it is quite possible
,hat we are not acquainted with . tithe Of
them. But there are . few things which
have struck us during our short residence iu
ibis city. as being likely to become impor>
tant adiunc,s to its business and growth, il
they can be compassed. We will take the
liberty to mention them.
The first is an absolute necessity and
that is, more houses. The number Of dwell
ings for rent or for sale in Independence are
entirely inadequate to the demands Of the
present, not to mention those Of . few months
hence, whom emigration shall begin to pour
in upon US. Nex comers are not always
prepared or inclined to build inuediatsly
upon their arrival, and dspsrd upea ssssing
dwellings and business houses. II these ars

make valuable citisens will havs no Other
choice than 10 pass us asd 50 whore they

that some Of our public.spirited capitalist

Another want Of our city, is the establish

is nothing that so surely conduces to the
permanent prosperity of town as the build

enterprise in that line promises better returns
than woolcn factory. The 10000 sheer
