Thore arc now about Bix vessels on tho Hsy
from tho Eaat to this city with coM (for our
watcr-works). The rate Of freight from Buffalo
is about 400 per ton. Some Of those veasela noro
reported day OF two ago as laid up unlcsa they
could got 81 90 por ton. In addition to this, the
North Side Ro]ling-A1iils have contracted for
TO- 900 tons, and tho Gas-Works for 1000 to
80, GOO toms. It is believed that this includes
noarly all the coal purchased on Chicago account.
Tho local yards are not willing to lay in Rtooks at
freight. The coal dea1ers eay. that they lost so
much money last winter TINT they cannot afford
to tako hold except at bottom. prices.
Tho Board OF Trade vas agitated to-day to its
core, by the rcsusponsion from membership Of a
prominent firm, which was engaged in running o
corner in wheat year ago last August. Tho
chief interest Of the case turns upon tho nlloga-
tion that oath was made to tho eteot that thoro
was no liability Ia osso u which It was after
posted ns margins to SECURE tho faithful per-
formanuo Of tho contract on both sides. It la
understood TINT tho Directors and the Board Of
Trade ARE again out Of accord, the vote In the
being worry close ono, while not fow mombcrs
OF tho larger body arc In favor of absolute
expulsion. It is considered probable that
domand will be made to hnye tho evidence In
the case printed, 80 that tho world may have tho
opportunity Of knowing Its exact character aud
importance. Some parties thought That tho Arm
in question will be willing to pay up the GLAZING
not yet settled, which arose out Of that corner,
on condition that the subject be dropped; but
others soy that tho Board could not afford to let
| tue question rest without q thorough tnvestfga-
tion. The matter has probably progressed 40
| far that canyasB by tho full Board cannot be
avoided; and It 80, tho sooner It In made the
better.
