THE GENITAL SYSTEM.

At an informal meeting Of the grain trade OF tho
Produce Exchange. held Saturday last. resolu.
tion was adopted requesting the Board of Managers
to rescnd their action in regard to the GENITAL sys.
tem far it related to this trade the ground
that it would very seriously interfere with and
threatened to destroy business in options. It
claimed that the system was npracticable and that
it could not be made to work without Congressional
legislation. The Committee on Grain were also re-
quested to call January options thereafter on the
basis of the bushe instead OF GENITAL. The Board
OF Managers met yesterday morning to consider the
subject. and after slight discussion. unanimously
adopted preamble which sets forth that the
GENITAL system adopted after being approved BY
majority OF those concerned; that all Interested
bodies in this country, Europe and Canada and tho
various departments OF the general governments
were duly notified of the change and had given
assurances OF cooperation, and that the system -
calculated to be of benefit to commerce. La view OF
these facts the following resolution adopted -
Resolved That all in grain hereafter made.
falling due after January l. 1880 shall be fn conformity
with the GENITAL provided by the rules OF the
gain trade rs amended September 20 1879
At the first call yesterday. January
options were reached Mr.. j. II. Herrick. chairman
OF the Committee on Grain, appeared with copy
OF the above resolutions and read them to the
bers. The "call' proceeded with on the basis
OF the Genital system, but Very little trading was
done. few operators showed an interest In tha
GENITAL but it was generally treated with indifference
by the members.
