/ The Executive Committee have LAID down plan
for the classification OF Grain which comes into
operation on the lath instant. It Is this: Parties
reporting their sales to the secretary are requested
by the COMMITTEES to report to him, for his record
and for publication In the newspapers, the grades
OF the grain they sell. under the following titles
1sta sChotce." I'd. "Prime.',s sd. "Good.n 4th.

The classification report on Change from the
date Of It's going into operation up TO the present
day WAS as follows Choice, prime, very good,
good, fair, common, and thtn damaged, wet, foul,
&C., &C.; in other words as close and accurate de-
scripion of the samples as coald be given, and no
dealing in generalities.
1t Ia the intention Of some members to bring the
subject before the Board Of Directors, with the
viewto the adoption Of another classification, on
all of which we have only to say that 1t is of much
Importance to all concerned In the sale and pur-
chase Of grain that reports should be made with
IS much accuracy Us possible, not only as refer
renee for comparison Of prices at different dates,
but In order that the Secretary may be able to give
correct reply to the various inquiries made OF
him from time to time as to what was the price of
various qualities of various grades Of grain at
various dates. On these Inquiries depend, in many
instances, the settlement of contracts for grain
among people In the country. .rr. e ~.
It Is of importance, also, that the offerings OF
grain and the sales thereof should be reported
| fully, and that re-exhibited offerings should be
distinguished from new offerings. There can be
no possible inconvenience to buyers and sellers In
doing this, and We again call the attention Of the
members Of the Exchange to 1t. AS to P. T., he Is
incorrigible, and pays no attention TO what p. g..
