The Committee AppeA6 from Grain Iu-
apectton Was called upon this morning to decide |
aB to tho mortB Of car Of barley, and they sus-
tanned tho Inspectors. This looks we'll. It In |
dicntes that tho Inspectors aro now interpreting
tho rules correctly, nnd that tho Committee
oguize the fact. Thcre will probably be very
little, II any, more trouble. Under tho rule, the
proportion Of No. Q barley may be expected to
| be considerably lcas this year than usun', and
parties who want to buy It must pay good
price for tho article. We ought to add that tic
position tnkeu by tho Committee yesterday gives
universal satisfaction. But 1t suggests query.
| Thoy define bright barley as that which is lpoly
| in appearance. II carload Of barley were

George J. Brine mado his appearance on the
| floor OF the Exchange today, atter an enforced
absence OF several months, and Eecolved tho
congratulations OF humorous friends. Il lit
however, probable that iiB stay will bo Of short
duration. The clal1n Of Culhertson, nlalr q oo.,
undor which he WA Buepended IL only ono
Of several that have not beon adjusted by tho
late firm OF J. 3. Lyon j. Co, and i y under ,
stood to be tho iutontlon OF some Of Of tue osAel
| claimants to prcas their views III tho matter.
Mr. Drine's position In tho oase Ia peculiar one.
He Vas ,aornber Of the Arsn, but owned 30
Amall portion Of the stock that bis interest was
anything but controlling ono. Nonco his moral
responsibility for the corner Of year ago III
very slight, though legally he is responsible for
NIL the acts of J. =: Lyon 4 Go.
} Not the least Of the beneatn that will accrue
from tho recent establishment Of hay inupec~
tion ip this city wil1 be that tho market will ba
, | come an open ono, in which actual transactions
Can be notod by the reporters for the benefit Of
Hitherto quotations have beon obtained only
from dealers, who state the prices which they
; nre wiling to pay for hhy that comes into the
city. The price that othos people haye to pay
for tho same article ID quito another matter, the
difference being sometimes claimed to be AT high
AZ $3 por ton. A similar difficulty io met with
in tho markets for hides, huttor oggB, ctc., and
It il almost impossible to give quotations Of any
by some ono.
The leading produce markets we're rather less
active to-day II tho aggregate, though far from
} being quiet. They WeTo generally strung. though
some Of them averaged trife lower than yos-
terday, as consequence OF continued yolumin"
oun receipts, and falling or in ahpments OF
grain to comparatively small Dimensions. TAore
Was very little exoitotnent, md tho fluctuations
occurred within narrower iimitH than usuul.
Dry goods we're reported satisfactorily active
: At firm and unchanged prices. The attendance
; OF buyers iu peraou wea larger than yesterday
or Monday, and orders BY mail also ohowol fe-
spectacle Increase. In the grocary market there
> wero no now Developments. For the Benson. the
and tir,nuoas again prevailed in al departments.
In cof1ees, syrupa nplcos, and aome other lines,
the tendency ~ rather Upward, though no
immediate decided change Is looked for,
from, choice qualit!es, and auotations

& mario. seemed tritle easier, though good goods
& from former rites. Coal remains firm, with AZ
{ advatcing tendency. No new featules wert
noted In connection with tho fish market. Grair
psgs continue aotlve and strong = the lsto ad
descriptions Of dried fruits. and "a rule tho

Hay remains inaotiyo. Hidea and leather wort
" firm. No chsnges weEe reported In the oil

The retail dealors iu lumber report an I'M
proved demand, the inquiry from tho interlo
are unchanged. Carcoos Of lumber aaoat wer
Z in good supply, but rather allow OF aale, AL th
/. docks are ct present full, and, bosldes, buyer
we're not disposed to operate nnloss at liberia
l. cuncebaionb, which have been granted In aovera

steady Increase In the volume OF business, price
= boing steady aud uniform. Iron and Hteel ar
also more active, but tho market IL still woa

average local demand, with ample offerings. Com
