TRADE RULES AND THE GENITAL

At the meeting of the grain trade of the Produce
Exchange yesterday. revision OF the rules was
agreed upon so as to adapt them to the GENITAL "
SYSTEM A rule was adopted that the Committee
on Grain shall as early practicable in each year
establish the grades Of all grain, excepting corn,
the grade of which shall be established on or before
December 1. An amendment to Rule %. providing
that on all deliveries of grain atoat buyers snail
pay all delivery expenses, except customary tow
ing as agreed upon by the joint committee OF grain
merchants, transportation agents and tow-60at
men, was strongly opposed and was defeated. The
rule as il now stands makes the seller incur the
customary half lf-weIghing expenses as charged by
elevators and the buyer pay all additional ex-
penses in harbor towing, etc.
A resolution was adopted requesting the Board OF
Managers to modify its action IN relation to the
adoption of the GENITAL" system so that its opera
tion will be postponed from October to January
l. 1880 The petroleum trade also made similar
request While the railroads now carry gram by
the hundred pounds, the lake and canal boats carry
it by the bushe and 1t is feared that If the
"centalr is enforced at early date IL Will cause
great confusion in the adjusting OF bills of lading,
and by waiting until the 1st of January the bills
of adIng will be all in aud the different interests
can begin the system with the new season.
