Meeting &C the Merchants Ex.
change.

A meeting at the Merchants Elk,
change was held Hear noon to- day Il
consider the recent order of the Boarc
of Underwriters. prohibiting the stor
age OF more than twenty-five barrels
of oil in any house other than one
warehouse especially designated fol
the service, under penalty OF q refusal
70 issue policies Of insurance on the
same. The cottonseed oil manusactu.
rers and re6pers were largely repre-.
scented at the meeting, and the mer.
camille interests, as well as insurance
men, had various representatives pres
ent. The meeting was to have been
held yesterday afternoon, but was post.
poned until to-day.
A resolution was offered, asking the
Board of Underwriters to suspend
their order, which was to have gone
into effect yesterday, until the bust
ness men of the city and the oil makers
can confer upon the subject.
Mr.. b f. Price, On the part of the
Underwriters, said: AFTER the
recent FIRE on Front street,
numerous leading merchants sgi-
tated the question of prohibiting
the storage OF oil with other goods, and
many were very emphatic upon the
subject, some went so far as TO demand
that the underwriters should prohibit
the storage of oil in toto, except in safe
places. Leading merchants said a
single barrel Of each kind Of oil was
enough for sample in any store, and
where drayloads are sold it can easily
be sent for at warehouses without in
convenience to dealers. Merchants
were anxious to have the underwriters
issue their recent order to 20 into
effect forthwith, but %hsa tbs
board met it was decided to let it take
effect from the LIST Of August. He
had gone along Front street and
visited every house, seeing some mem.
Der of each firm and the expression
was universal in favor of the order Of
prohibition, as its necessity was APP
parent. All agreed that % barrels Of
oil was enough. They all saw at a
glance that what was for the interest
of the underwriters was also for
the interest of the merchants.
1t is mutually to their advantage to
prohibit the storage Of oil in quanti-
ties except in safe localities, as it was
apparent at the recent fire, a confa-
grafton cannot be suppressed where
the flames are fed with barrels of oil
stored in liberal quantities. He be
lieved that the order was a good one
aud should receive the support and
endorsement of the Exchange.
Mr.. Latting, in behalf
of the oil interests, said
that the order of the underwriters
was detrimental to their business,
which is one of the gaeatest industries
among US, and he hoped that the re-
quest for the order to be suspended
until conference can be held would
be carried. Several merchants on
Front street deal largelyin oils, and
the order. if carried out, will be very
damaging to their trade.
The motion to delay the order Of
prohibition was then put, but voted
down. President Speed next put a
resolution offered by somebody in
dorsing the action Of the underwriters
and it was carried. So no oil can be
stOrediu any one house beyond twenty
FIVE barrels.
The meeting then adjourned.

The Funding Board have examined
and passed upon about 100000 in
bonds to be funded under the so 8
Act.
One of the Board stated to anAmer-
lean reporter yesterday that the public
who could not understand or appreci
ate the vast amount of work to be done
before the State debt could be funded
would naturally suppose that the
Board was rather slow about it. In
the first place the bonds had to be ex.
amined and their genuiueuess passed
upon. The calculations had then to
be made ard verified, and the interest
figured and added. The bonds have
ali to be traced back by number, and
the acts under which they we're issued
examined. Mr.. Simonton, the Clerk
Of the Board, then enters the bonds
on the debit side Of his register, and,
after making and extending the calcu-
latiOns required on each bond, makes
the necessary entries on the debts
side which show all the facts relating

making perfect balance and record,
