each share of stock, and the Secreta-
ry was instructed to collect this amount
from each subscriber who had not al
ready paid the same.
The depressed condition of the
c nned goods trade was considered,
and members recalled how a move
ment of these goods was stimulated by
a public sale of the same well adver-
tised in Philadelphia few weeks since,
and the Exchange was urged TO open
its rooms and call weekly sales on
these goods until the market was re-
lieved. it was held that this action
merited to cooperation of Gamers and
evapOratOrs. The sales to be upon EX-
change methods, whereby each seller
may fix the price at which he will sell
his own goods, and deal on the floor
of the Exchange directly with the pur-

Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

NEW York, Nov 9.--An Albany telegram
to-day contained the information that
Charles E. LELAND, formerly proprietor of
the Delavan house, Albany, and latterly of
the Brighton Beach hotel, had made gen
eral assignment 20 Charles j. Buchanan.
Mr.. Charles E. Leland is at present asso-
ciated with his brother Horace in the man
agement of the Sturtevant, but not as one
of the proprietors. Horace Leland, on be-
ing asked if he knew the particulars of the
assignment said; "That rumor probably
came IRON Albany, and is news to me, al
though it may be true, Charlie has been
here for the last five days, ana was talk
ing with him this afternoon,a and he did not
mention that he had made an assignment.
It is true that he is in difficulties, owing to
heavy losses in the Brighton Beach hotel,
this season, but I think he will come out of
there right side up. He ran the Delavan
IN Albany through the halcyon days of
Tweed and his followers when money was
carried by every one in Albany, but on the
collapse of Tweed receipts swiRdled, but ex-
penses staid up at high water mark until
Charlie was obliged to relinquish the lease
with balance on the wrong side. When
hotel, there was some arrangement, as I
understood, by which he was to run the
house on commission; but with the close
of the season and dead loss of $4,000 as
q result of the season Charlie was held to
the strict letter of the contract and bad to
shoulder the total loss.
