It was announced to-day that tho E1tra Board
| rooms Of the Board Of Trade Will be ready for
occupancy on Thursday morning next, and that
the sale Of choice oftables for the ensuing year,
! on the regular Exchange, will be held at 10
o'clock on that day, instead OF Tuesday, as pre-
| Fious1y arranged.
The Board was called to order, to-day to take
action in regard to the proposed amendments to
the rules, in relation to the depositing OF mar
| gins. 01r. Cooley moved to lay the whole mat
ter on thetable, which motion lost. hr. Muri-
son then asked leave to withdraw his amend
ment, and substitute therefor the amendment
offered by Mr. Culver, which WAS granted. Tho
accepted amendment was then adopted. It reads
as follows:
Strike out tile words s'Au such eecurity or
margins to be deposited with the Treasurer Of
the Association, unlcss otherwise ngreed upon
by the parties, and insert the following:
All such security, or margins, to be deposited
in any bank that the depositors may elect, pro-
vided fhaD said bank has fled with the Secre-
tary Of the Association bond satisfactory to
the Board Of Directors for the security OF de-
posits that may be made as margins, or made to
secure fulf1ment OF contracts. Also provided
said bank shall issue certificate Of such de-
a. l. it, x.s.k
the parties to the contract, and shall also issue
to the depositor ticket Of certifcation to the
caller of the margin that such deposit has been

posit Eas made.
The claim Of certain creditors Of the late firm
of Mum l. Scott, that other named gentlemen
we're partners with Mum d Scott in tho grain
warehouse business, and therefore liable for the
debts Of the firm, WAS rather extensively dis
cussed on Change to-day. The general opinion
seemed to bo that the petitioners will make out q
strong case, and much interest was expressed in
regard to the final result OF course the DISCUS
slons threw no new light on the matter, so far a.
facts are concerned.
It Was remembered on Change to-day that
there will be no produce markets in Liverpool

askedif it would not be possible for our traders
to slip out Of the harness for o few days between
Christmas and the New Year, "iust for the nov
city of the thing" if nothing more. There is
no doubt that they would all be the better for it,
but there is not tho ghost Of chance that a sus-
pension could be agreed upon and adhered to.
On the contrary, the holiday week Of Europe
bids fair to be an unusually active one here in
wheat circles, especially as the new Extra room
will be open for the first time the day after
Christmas.
THE MARKETS.
The leading produce markets we're generally
slow to-day, and with small changes in prices
tlS;o the chief exception to the rule being wheat
cereal there Was very little disposition to trade,
in the direction Of buying, and not much an1ie-
y to sell. The near approach Of Christmas is
telling upon our markets. as many operators are
delights, instead Of corn, and pork, and oats Our
receipts are only moderate, outside Of hogs.
The condition Of tho grocery market was with
out change in any important particular. Only
volume Of trade was light. Prices remain
without change, ruling stendy at satur-
days quotations: Dry goods met with a
moderate demand from the local and inter
tanned. There was q triae easier feeling IN the
butter market, eave for choice grades the sup
ply. Of which continues light. Bagging was in
Light request. Cheese was inactive. The fish

in prices. Dried fruits met with some inquiry,
and last weeks prices we're well sustained. Hay
was dull and easy. Hides and leather remain
firm: The oil market was quiet. Carbon WAS
20 lower, with which exception quotations were
unchanged. Building materials, nails, naval
stores, etc, were quiet and steady. Metals and
tinners' stock we're in light demand at previous
prices. Tin plate is quite firm in sympa-
thy with the Eastern and foreign mar
kets. Iron and steel we're in moderate
demand and sfesdv Vrada at the 711mter varda
WAS quiet to-day, former quotations being sus-
tanned. Salt Was fairly active and firm. Wool
WAS quiet and unchanged The hop market con-
tinues firm at 35@40c for prime Wisconsin.
Some dealers are asking 45c for very choice hops
Seeds were quiet to-day /, there were several or
in their views, and refused to sell at the prices
offered. Timothy quotab1e at 92.75@3.30, and
clover at $4.75@5.25 Potatoes were quiet and
unchanged. There uas 3 fair demand for ponl-

Highwines wero dull and 1G@1c lower, but |
steady at the decline. sales were restricted to
150 brls at 89c.
Dressed hog we're steady and in fair demand |

with the weakness in live, and closed firm, with |
buyers at S4.3o for good lots. Sales we're re- !
ported 754 head: at 54.30, and Is at S4.25. To- |
tai, 779 head The offerings wero rather light, !
aud the supply is uniformly small for the sea- |
Eon.
Provisions we're dull md again easier The
receipts Of hogs were so much in excess Of the |
Yards, and this feeling was reflected on Change !
to the extent Of making buyers hold of, and
owners Of product u.ota anxious to seu at Satur-
days quotations. There is another reason for
ouietness, which has existed for some time past
