Tho Board Of Trade decided to-day, by q unani
mous vote, to hold no session on Friday. TIKI
intention is to do honor to tho dead horoos o.
tho late war, and tlero Is no doubt that man,
mombors will join tho trrongs who pay respect.
ful tribute to tho memories Of tie naton's dcnd
Meanwhile, others will gather on tho curh-asono
and trade; md il any dispute should arlno the
Board Of Trado will undertake to settle 1t, just
the Hamo as II tho Board had not mudo tho day q
holiday.
Now, this Ia simply a commercial nuisance,
which ought to be at onco abated. Rathor tic
|
80 that mombors can go II they wish, and keop
away il they prefer It, or eae tho Board OF Trade
should declare that 1t docs not rocoKnizo trades
mhdo on holidays. This declaration would not
provent members from buying and selling; but
1t would enable thcm to observe holiday with
out tho fear Of neglocting the interests Of their
clients. At present tho real commission NOR
chant docs not daro to take advantage of tho
| unpleasant fiction. He may. gond his clerka
homo for brenthing spoil, but must rcmain him
soft to witch the market in tho interest Of the
mon In the country WHO hlvo intrusted him with
their buBinoHs. It Ia probable tint an effort will
be made Gro long to change MI this, and to wind
up the buBneBs Of tho wook ut or o'clock on
Saturday afternoon.
