TO his appointment, he would like to see

Gays: The secretary of tho BoaRl Of
Trade received to-day the follosing t,le-
gram from Chairman Austin, Of the
State Board of Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioners, in reply TO an inquiry
whether the wheat grades we're TO be
changed: "No changes yet made IN
grades. Notice of notifications will be
given a. soon as made" This was taken
by members Of the Board Of Trade as an
indication that rumored changes were set
tied upon, and no little CONSERVATION
ensued. A general meeting Of the board
was held on the subject and committee
appointed TO draw q protest and report
Immediately. All the speeches depre-
Gated any change in the established
grades, especially in No. l hard. Sales
of futures on this grade have been large
here, and it was the general sentiment
that if the grade should now be changed
so as to a. ON a poorer quality to be de-
liyered on these contracts the whole mar
ket will be dsmoralized SO that it will not
recover for q long time.
