Ownership of Market Quotations.

CHICAGO, Oct, Judge Dagley this morning
dismissed the motion for an I'M JUNCTION preferred
by the New York and Chicago Grain and Stock
Exchange against the Board of Trade and the
Western Union Telegraph Company to restrain
them from withholding telegraph reports of the
market quotations. The court held that the
Board of Trade has certain powers granted it,
among which are the right to control and govern
its members in their use of the privileges which
they enjoy as SUCH 1t also has discretion in con-
trolling the manner in which the quotations on
its floor distributed to the public, and the
ruling prices on the board cannot be demanded
by outsiders. The court went on to say that
from his understanding of the case, the COM
plainants were asking that the Board of Trade
be compelled to discriminate against its members
in furnishing quotations the outside stimuli
taneously with their adoption on the floor and
thus deprive the members of tho board of the
privileges they possess over outsiders in becom
ing members of the board and contributing to it's
support This is the latest development of the
proceedings instituted when the board ordered
the removal, year or more ago, of the "tickers'
from the bucket-shops.

A Commensurate Nomination.


National RepubEcan.
One of the most commendable nominations
thus far made by the Republicans for Congress
has been that of Gen. Alvin P. Hovey in the
First district of Indiana. General Hovey is IN
all respects admirably fitted to make a useful
and prominent member of the lower house. He
is a thoroughly trained lawyer, and has occupied
a seat on the Supreme Bench of his State. He
was a gallant soldier in the late war, attaining
the rank of major general. He is an expert
enced diplomatist, having held the post of minis
ter to Peru for several years, and is well in
formed in Spanish American affairs He would
be a valuable addition to the Judiciary, military
or foregn-aff committee. The people of the
First Indiana district will do themselves real
service by sending General Hovey.to Congress,
and greatly improve the character of their usual
representation in that body
