Tho Hon. Hamilton A. Hill, Secretary OF tho

Tho proposed rule to limit tho hours Of trading
In produce WAS worry freely discussed on 'Chnngc
to-day, and tho general sentiment Of tho Board
scemed to bo In favor Of its adoption. An nd
ditional reason why the Board OF Trado should
rofuso to tako cognizanco OF failures to fulfill
contracts made before and after 6 o'clock may
DO found in the tact that this early and lutte
! trading on tho ourbstone is participated in by
Outsiders, who not unfroquently cause an I'd
vanco or decline of 10 per In or moro, with
| out making trade. They have only to "yawp"
| out thoir willingness to sell 10 under tho mar
kot to preyont any ono from buying unlosa at
decline, and tho aamo way when thoy want tho
| market to 70 in the other direction. It is MI
right that those mon should establish mgrLet

quoted on it's merits, il it possessed any. But
| those men havo no right to bo permitted to make
q fictitious market, to bo autographed all over
! tho country, as the market rate on Change. ,of
| course, tho great evil now Is that comlnisslon
merchants who could transact all their business
! in a couple OF hours, and have tho rest Of the
| time for posting up thoir accounts, reading tho
news Of the day, and writing to their customers
each day, Bimply watching tho market, to catch

THE STOKES CASE.

A brief history of the proceedings
in Stokes cannot be uninteresting, in
views of the late decision granting
him new trial. He shot Fisk on
January 6, 1872, After the Coroner's
inquest an indictment was drawn
against him. Motions to quasi the
indictment were wranglsd over for
seme time. The Indictment was sus-
tanned, and Stokes was called upon to
plead towards the latter end of June,
1872. No point had been gained but
delay by the prisoners counsel. The
trial lasted from the 18th Of June to
the 10Th Of July, and resulted in a
disagreement of the jury. This was,
of course, victsry for the prisoner,
and, until the 10Th of last December,
he enjoyed his triumph. Then began
the second trial. On the 9th of Jan
uary, 1873, one year exactly from the
murder, Stokes WAS condemned to
death in accordance with the unani-
nous verdict of the jury. Since that
date there has been series of attempts
to have a new trial granted, one point
being suggested after another until
the elimination favorable to the prise
ner was reached on Tuesday.
