CHICAGO, April 30-The first day of trading
on the floor of the new Exchange Hall was
full of excitement. The attendance was un-
usually large, due in large degree to the quar-
rel between the Board of Trade officials and
the Western Union Telegraph Company, which
eliminated TO day and resulted in the collapsing
of the ticker service. by means of which
brokers have been enabled to keep the run of
the markets without leaving their Offices, but
the absence of which compelled them to be pres
ent in the trading pits to know the course of
values The cutting off of the quotations served
as damper on the open Board of Trade, and
the bucket shops" and the immediate effect
was to centralize trading and confine it closely
to the big board. The foreign news was
of an extremely warlike tenor early. and this
served to make brisk market and higher prices.

COLLAPSE OF THE flicker SERVICE
The war between the Chicago Board of Trade
and the Western Union Telegraph Company
broke out afresh this morning. Six months ago
the board excluded from the floor of Change all
reporters but the official ones of the board. The
Western Union. however, procured an injunc-
ton to restrain the committee quotations
from refusing to give them quotations, and this
injunction still holds. The board, on its part
expressed it's willingness to allow the Western
Union to have the quotations, provided it
would cease giving. them to bucket
shop" The telegraph company claims
that it was endeavoring to remove It's
tickers from these places rapidly as possible,
but was prevented, in several instances. by in
functions. Upon taking possession of its new
hail. this morning, the managers declined to al
low the Western Union to put in Its wires, and
as result there is no ticker service at all to-
day, and brokers' Offices in this city, the bucket
shops" and the open Board OF Trade, alike, have
no quotations. The telegraph company appears
to have been taken completely by surprise, as
the tickers had been placed in all the Offices,
and the warning only came after business had
fairly been entered upon. The outcome Of the
controversy cannot at present be forseen.
