There hus for q long time been o strong feel
Ing OF disgust on the part Of tho receivers of
grain at this point at the character OF the In
spectlou which the State Commission has given
them; and, now that the Legislature Ia about 10
convene, there Is a decided feeling Ia favor Of
making an attempt to get tho present systc,n
repealed, aud the whole subject rc!egated
to the Board OF Tsade,. under whose
charge 1t formerly was. The first pubIu
demonstration Of this feeling was malo yester-
day afternoon In meeting Of reeeiyers held at
4 o'clock IN the room Of the Committee on
Arbitration Of tho Board Of Trade, About
thirty gentlemen interested In the business,
MANY Of them very prominent In the handling
Of grala, were present
