The Exchange then proceeded to the election
Of q quotation committee for the ensuing quarter,
when Messrs. Saum, Spicer and Hoge were Sc
lected as said committee.
Mr.. Spindle then arose and made personal ex-
PLANTATION TO the effect that he had, upon several
occasions in the reports Of the Exchange meet
ings, been misrepresented. Whether Intention
ally or not be did not know, but whatever the
motives were which prompted such mIsrepresenta-
lions patience had ceased to be q virtue, and hs
desired to offer q resolution which would nut a
stop TO these occurrences, which were exceedingly
annoying.
After Considerable discussion, In which one Of
the reporters present took part-being very gen
erously accorded the privileges Of q member Of
the Exchange for the time being-Mr. Phillips
offered, as a substitute for the resolution OF Mr..
Mr.. Spindle, the following:
RESOLVED, That the reporters DO requested not
10 report personalities in their proceedings Of the
Exchange.
Mr.. Spindle accepted the resolution as a substi-
tutute for his own, and the resolution was then
adopted.
There was considerable discussion in regard to
the hour Of meeting being changed, but no definite
conclusion was arrived at.
The Exchange then adjourned until Thursday.
