The GENITAL MEAsUREMENT.-The passage
OF an act of Parliament making the imperia]
or pound avordupois the unit OF all transac.
tions, and leaving 1t with the boards OF trade
to determine what multplies thereof shall be
adopted for general use throughout England
has rendered the adoption of @ similar rule
at least In regard to grain-important to the
shippers In the United States. This subject
has been brought to the attention Of the New
Orleans Chamber of Commerce by the Board
Of Trade of New York, and report and reso-
tuition thereon have been adopted by the
Chamber, as follows:
To the Executive Committee Of the New Orleans
Chamber of Commerce.:
Gentlemen Your committee appointed to
consider the attached communication from
the New York Chamber of Commerce under
date Of December 20 last, concerning the
GENITAL system, beg to report as follows:
They are convinced that the use OF the
GENITAL system III the sale of all articles or pro-
duce would be decided Improvement on the
present system OF counting by bushels bar
rels etc, and ar such would greatly facilitate
and simplify all commercial calculations.
They would therefore recommend the adop-
rtion of the following resolution:
EResotued That the Chamber Of Commerce
OF New Orleans approves Of and recommends
the early adoption Of the GENITAL 6ystem to
determine the weight in the sale Of all articj ps
Of produce in this country, and that it as
.sures It's earnest cooperation to establish tn J
system In this market as soon as its adoption
blythe majority of the boards Of trade of thiE
country is inaugurated and accepted.
Respectfully, i. j. ODENDAHL,
Chairman.
NEy ORLEANS, February 8, 1879.
On motion of Mr. A. Schneider the export
and resolution were adopted, and the secre-
tary instructed to forward copy thereof to
The Produce Exchange OF New YORK.
Extract of minutes.
w M BuRwELL, Secretary.
The Russian newspapers complain that the
fuctuaton in the grain trade OF Russia, and
The rapid changes in prices. are caused by
competition from the United States. Assoon
as American supplies are brought to market
sale of the Russian grain decreases. and
hence many Russian farmers are impoV-
eflshed and cannot pay taxes. AS the pros
perlty of Russia depends largely upon the
gram trade, il is important that fun Informal
uon concerning the crop of American cereals
should be obtained; and it is suggested IN st
Ietersburg journals that Russian consuls Ia
.ae United States be required to ascertain
sne state and prospects of the American
! crops, and to assist in promoting the grain
! n "a Of Russia.
