The question of paving the streets in the Vicinity
OF the Corn Exchange with some new pavement
that would do away with the tremendous roar that
disturbs and tortures the members Of the Corn TX
change while transacting their business IN their
respective institutions, was taken up in earnest
OF eighty business firms were appended to It. The
petition will be on the desk or the Tobacco TX
change and Corn Exchange tomorrow tFriday)
again, in order to enable the other mem bers to
sign 1t.
The petition reads as follows:
1.-THE undersigned, member OF the Richmond
Corn and Flour kxchange and of the Richmond
.chase and sale of the commodities in which they
deal. have experienced considerable annoyance
and Interruption In the trsnsa ction Of business
because OF the noise incident to rough pavement
OF the streets which the buildings in which they
m CT are situated. And inasmuch as the Du ness
to tie best interests and tend, to The increase OF
the revenue OF the city your petitioners respect
fully pray that Cary ST. eet, between Virginia and
llth streets, and 18th street. bttween >.ary and
Canal streets, be relieved OF cooble-,tonea, and
that they be paved with some one OF the many
varieties OF SIN Doth pavemeAts now In use In maby
OF the more northern Cities"
This petition explains the whole matter, and
will, we presume, receive that attention which
should be given to anything coming from body
Of mtn who Represent the trade in the great sts-
pies Of the State. There can be no difficulty IN
ascertaining which pavement OF the new kids In
troduced is The best.
The Board Of directors held called meeting On
Wednesday evening, and, after receiving tbs re-
ports Of the secretary and treasurer, transacted
variety Of business. Among other things done
was the adoption OF the following resolution:
Resolved, No person shall be regarded as
member OF the Corn and Flour Exchange, and
entitled to the privileges of the same until the fee
for membership shall have been paid.
The committee appointed to examine and re-
port on new code Of bylaws proposed by
member Of the board, made report, and there
uprn, on motion the new code was indefinitely
postponed. A pamphlet prepared by the Board
OF Trade OF Mobile concerning certain nernal
improvements referred to the Chamber OF
Commerce. Tho5. Branch, president OF the Ex-
chance, was appointed delegate to the National
Commercial Convention, to be held in Baltimore
on the 25th inst, and Philip Hsxall first vtce.pre
sident, was appointed alternate. The sectetsry
was Instructed to "collect'' the subscriptions due
by one or two parties (nolenS uolsns) who, after
having signed the roll, used the Exchange to suit
their convenience, and then refused to pay. The
Corn Exchange Is a chartered association, and
the recusants will have 10 pay; tits better to do l.
quietly than to have their names brought into
court.
The board, while in session, were almost driven
crazy by the noise. Tom-tomG, gongs, kettle
drums, rifle guns, the New York Gold room, han
CRY politicians roaring for Office, II al sounding,
beating, firing, and shouting together, coulCn't
make ouch racket The internal springess
wagons did over tie cobbie-:tcnes.
