Secretary Randolph called the attention Of the
Board Of Trade to-day to the noise kept up in
the room during the reading Of dispatches. He
only alluded to til shufding Of feet On the floor,
but still greater nuisance is the habit indu1ged
Ip by many Of the operators, Of talking during
the whole time. These gentlemen % do not
seem to consider that any one but themselves
has any rights, for they surely know that the
despatch es cannot be heard il more than one
person is talking at time. ...
The lending produce markets we're again
weak to-day, but rather more active than yes
terday IN many departments. The reasons for
the weaker feeling were principally local, ex-
cept in the case Of wheat, and we're almost en-
tirely speculative; based on the fact that tho
last half Of the month begins tomorrow. and
that deliveries Of grain are heavier than here
tofore. The receipts Of grain we're light to-day,
but the shipping difficulty still exists, and there
is little chance Of its removal now, the season
Of navigation is so near it's close. The railroads
leading East are already glutted with grain
Groceries met with only moderate inquiry, the
demand being chiefly in the shape Of mail
orders. The tone Of the market was again ono

Nails are in demand at s6.25 as basis. The
supply Of salt is small, and this, with high

Provisions were again dull, With no percepti-
