The Ronrtl Of Trade will hold q spocial meot-
ing on Wednesday, afternoon, ut half-past
O'Clock, to discuss tho recentfy-proposcdc changes
in tho rules, and to adopt or amend, or rojoct
them. Some Of tile provisions Of the now ru1ea
ara highly important ones, affecting tho status Of
the Board, nnd tho rights Of Its mombers to
considerable cxtont Hence they should not be
passed. upon by baro quorum, mado up, per-
laps, of parties who have the loast intorost in
the questions at issue. Every member Of tho
Boarl ought to bo present, especially those WHO
usually stay away from huch meetings. And ii
tho Board really means business, it nlust frown
down tho attempts tint arc always made at it's
meetings to evado tho real question by potti-
fogging motions md speeches.
t The leading produce markets weto rather moro
active to-day, except provisions, and generally
| stronger, Tho storm tended to interfere with
buninoas, especially Us It waB delivery day III pro-
duce, making it awkward to run around with ro-
| ceipts, which were humorous. Deliveries were
| yory heavy lii wheat and corn, but not romhrka-
bio in anything olso except that they worolght In
barley. The receipts and shipments Of grain Wero
| again not fur from equal, and tho movement in
freights yesterday afternoon showed that thorc
arc parties willing to move out al tue grain thoy
| much during tho past wock.
/ A very natural consequence OF the recent rapid
riao in gold would bo an advauce in tho paper
largely exported. Provisions haye folt this in
| fluenco to mngkoa oxtont; and grain has not
shared in the upward movement, Tor paramount
roasona, which wore chiefly of local character.
OF heavy deliveries to-day, and tho anxiety Of
very many to soil out 80 as to avoid the pressure.
That is now oyor, and tho enhanced gold premi-
um can only ho prevented from causing an up
ward movement In these cercalB by very deproBs-
ing adyices from other markets.
