The annual meeting Of the Board ol
Directors Of the Richmond Grain and
Cotton Exchange was held yesterday
morning at close Of 'Change-the
President, Captain Philip Haxall, in the
chair, b. A. Jacob, ESQ.,. secretary. The
annual report Of the secretary was pre-
sented. The report shows the Exchange
to be in very prosperous condition.
There are l07 members on the roll
the largest membership that the Ex-
change has ever had---and il is hoped
and expected that many more will con-
meet themselves with this Association,
which is doing so much to build up the
grain and cotton trade Of our city.
The offerings on 'Change for the year
were as follows; Flour, 984 barrels ;
mIll-offal, 1,l94 tons. Wheat--White,
1902 bushels; red, l,374,704 bush
els. Corn-White, 900, ,2S2 bushels /;
mixed, 1S3.09S bushels. Oats, 257,-
SAC bushels; meal, l0,660 bushels ;
peas, 3,0l6 bushels rye, G,604 BUSH
els; grass-seed, $50 bushels-total,
2,316.1 bushels Total offerings on
'Change for year ending June 80. 1884,
1871, 1886 bushels-a decrease of 55,-
223 bushels for year ending June 30,
1885. The largest offerings on Change
Sor any one month during the year was
for the month Of August, 1SS4-450,-
156 bushels; and the smallest was
February, ls85-93,570 bushels.
The railroads entering the city report
the following receipts Flour, 9G,505
barrels cotton, I0,603 bales wheat,
l,626, 1874 bushels; corn, l,l0S,0SS
bushels; oats, 50S,9S3 bushels A; rye,
s,936 bushels. Total receipts of grain,
1882, 2,34l bushels-an increase Of 1885,
4G7 bushels over receipts for year end
ing June 80, 1884. This is not all of
the grain received on this market, as
large quantities came in on wagons, and
some of the railroads neglect to send
in weekly reports. The report of the
secretary shows that while there is a
decrease of offerings on Change, that
the receipts OF grain on this market are
largely in excess Of any year reported
since the organization of the Associa-
ton.
The sales of grain on call Board for
future delivery since April 18th lat
which time the first call was had) are
as follows; Wheat, l4,500 bushels /;
white corn, 6S,000 bushels; mixed
corn, 5000 bushels; oats, 500 bush
els. This is a new feature in this EX-
change, and it is expected to be the
means of bringing large quantities Of
grain TO this city. The number of cars
of grain inspected by the grain inspector
during the year was 2,ll3.
Up to this date no new wheat has
been offered in this market. The first
new corn Of the season was offered on
change September "a, 1884, grown in
King William county, and sold for 10
cents per bushel.
