The following grain has Loen inspected into

Wo note that In tho atook reporte from Kansas
City the receipts OF hogs and rsttlo nro ofton
characterized us being light, or otherwise, with
ous any {ntimation 40 to the Hcalo adopted.
light receipts may be 20 or {, 600 head; and
our local operators would much prefer to hayo
moro dctinito statement. 80 that they may gauge
their own conduct with reference thercto,
4tie probable that few now ruloa will ho pre-
sonted to tho Board Of Trade before long, for
consideration, II tho PROPOSED action Of tho
Legislature doos not tako away from that body
tho right to pass bylaws md elooe officers for
their own governanoo. AS graphically stated to-
day, the now rules aro intended, among otlor
things, to protect the Board from dead-beata and
1oafors.
For the frat class. it will DO proposed to omato
tho non-fulhllment Of contract equal to q COM
mercial hari'kara, at on tho Now York Stock
Exchange, tho fact of non-payment constituting
tho other fact of suspension, till tho cause Ia re-
moved. It this rule bo adopted, no special
complaint by tho nggrieved pnrty will bo necos-
sary to suspension; 1t will DO mado to tho in
tereat OF tho failing party to declare his inability
and withdraw from the Board. II auch rule bo
adopted, VIC shall probably loso ono great o1o-
ment OF fictitious quotations. At present, 1t Is
no uncommon thing to hear soma partioa bid
ding Mc per bu highor than the price at which
others arc buying, and yet be unable to make
purchases, owing to tho fact that the holdsrs Of
the property prefer to sell to mon who arc bo-
this olash on tho floor WAS probably the chief
teaaon tor the diHoontinuance Of tho "Call
board" aa that inatitution did not permit trad
ora to choose with whom they would doal.
For tho second class 1t is proposed to give to
the Directors partial power Of police over the
room In which business is transacted, 30 that
they can stop smoking at unreasonable hourB,
son, though ofton indu1god IN By low Of Of tho tho
membern. There are a fow on tho floor who
aeem to have nothing better to DO than to lznook
OF bats, and poke, people IN the rlb., or tap
avoid recognition. Such parties are decidedly
UNPLEASANT to the more quiet and gentlemnnly
olass, and are not calculated to inspire feclinga
Of respect for the Board in the breasts Of utrang
aoor. M . "A'N' '''''' 40 s'A''0'' '''''A' VI sD'
