the board of trade is being agitated with
considerable vigor. A meeting of some
300 members was held yesterday after
noon, regularly organized and thorough
discussion of the subject had. Deacon
). B. Hobbs, one of the most prominent of
the heavy operators on the board, is taking
an active part in favor of the matter. and
at the meeting he spoke warmly and at
some length about the present rules and
where they needed changing He thought
the rules encouraged defaulting on con-
tracts by members, and that it was becom-
ing bad for the future of the board of
trade. He wanted to see iman's word as
good as his bond, every sale sale that
would bear scrutiny, and that both parties
thereto would live up to it. The Chicago
board was getting in bad repute over
the country and, although it
may not have injured the trade here as
yet, such defaulting and so much arbitra-
ton would eventually ruin the board.
They needed to get back to solid basis
once again. He then referred to other bad
rules OF the borrd that he wanted to see
revised. They were the rules on division
OF commission to outside merchants as
parties. Tho present rules forbid making
any division with outsiders at all, and
helped to drive trade away from here. A
very serious defect in the rules was in the
manner of changing them. Amendments
were posted on change, and were only
read hurredly during the business hour of
members, and were finally adopted with
out proper consideration or discussion,
and he thought great injury was done to
the board thereby.
Before adjourning the following reso-
luton was approved and adopted:
WHEREAS, The rules of the board have
been found to be impracticable and need
revising; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the following persons be
and are hereby appointed committee to
revise the present rules and bylaws, with
the view of correcting the defects COM
planned of, and that they have power to
employ such legal advisers as they in their
their Judgment may deem necessary, and
that they report to this board such
change or changes in the rules
that they may see fit to recommend at as
early date as possible.
