It is understood that strong delegation from
the Board Of Trade will leave this city for Spring.
Geld on Sunday night or Monday morning for
the purpose Of urging upon the Legislature the
right OF grim owners aud their representatives
to manage their own business in their ovu way.
The Board has always been ct tho opinion thet
the State had no right to assume direct control
of the inspection Of grain, but yielded the point
gracefully in the hope that tho business would
be conducted By the State officials in such way
as to give reasonable satisfaction. They coon
found that the system did not work we'll, and
then 1nade q mild remonstrance against the most
Objectionable features OF the State eyatem,
whilo presenting plan whereby those objections
might DO in part removed. Az it ia now report
cd that the Legislature is not disposed to pro-
vide any means whereby parties aggrie7ed
BY the State inspection cen obtain re-
dress, the Board Of Trade think it is
about time to show that they have
some rights in the premises which even Legia-
latures should respect. We stated the main
points in the claim several days ago, and need
not now repeat them. The case is SO plain that
it is difficult to geo how the claim Of the Com
nittee can be refused by. the Legislature If the
Committee are allowed the opportunity Of stat
ing the position fully and fairly.
THE MARKETS.
There Was nothing doing on Change to-day,
and An unusually light attendance Of operators

unless it fall near the end Of the month, when
options are being settled up- The shipping in

TOW new speculative deals are entered upon to
interfere with the quiet Observance and enjoy

The House Committee on Agriculture have
reported bill to regulate charges At tho Union
Stock Yards. The bill provides that not more
than so por ceat over and above the current
market price shall be charged for feed supplied
to stock. penalty OF no: less than 500, nor
more than $500, is imposed for each offeuso.
The Senate Committee appointed to inquire into
the management OF affairs ct the Stock Yards
have com pletcd their Investigations, but have
not yet presented their report.
CAITLE-hfore than usual activity has charac-
torized the cattle trade since the date OF our
last weekly review, and the prices current q week
ago have beon thoroughly sustained for oil grades
of stock. Receipts, as will DO seen, were large,
but such was the character Of the demand that
at the close Of tho dny's sales tho number OF
unsold cattle ut no time exceeded a few hun
dred head, and at the close of tho week no
desirable stock remains in yards uudisposed OF.
The attendance OF outside buyers Waa notice
ably larger, and the competition for tho upper
grades was at times quite spirited. The only
descriptions for which trade seemed to drag, was
poor COWS and rough half fattened steers, the in
quiry for which Was unusually light, while in the
supply there WAS not l. corresponding dinunitlon.
Values, however, were not subjected to any M
terial depreciation, aud the number remaining
unsold, as before stated, is small. The most
notable feature Of tho market has been the
largoly increased demand for stock cattle. Feed
erh from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and the
more Western States have been in attend
ance, and all suitable lots were picked
up nB last ls received, dnQ &c pctter
prices than have prevailed heretofore,

prices now prevalent will, Of course, ooorate to
check, to some extent, tho demand for this
class Of stock, but there seems no reasonable
doubt TINT the wants Of feeders from this tlmo
forward will fully equal tho available supply.
and no material decline from present prices IS
now looked for The range of Prices Tor tho

abundantly supplied now than at any time eince
