Sad to relate, the reporter held a consulta-

The Merchants exchange blackboards are
now objects Of the closet attention, owing TO
the boom and corners in the Chicago wheat
market. Each call as received by the tele-
graph operator and recorded on the board,
gives rise to much discussion and speculation
as . the opening ON the morrow. There are
no Mcmphians in the present deal, so far as
known, and they can afford TO be amused at
the sudden advances and declines which
have so marked the Chicago market during
the past few days. At the Cotton exchange

the continual switching down on the levee
by the railroads. especially at Union and
Monroe streets" said Judge Haddcn in the
police court yesterday. This switching is
done az time the streets are most needed
by the dray travel, and It interieres with the
steamboats, receiving and loading freight
promptly. The lcvcc is for steamboats, aud
the transportation Of their trade, and for
trade and traffic in general, but these en-
gncs are in the habit OF running their cars
to these street crossings and stopping an In
defnite length of time, thereby causing a
general Inconvenience. We have contract
with these railroads, and n clause in the con-
tract distinctly states that the crossings are
| not to be INSTRUCTED, and mean to see the
contract carried out 20 the letter. No
switching will be allowed ON the lcycc from
between the hours Of and 6o'clock pm.
An switching must be done at other times
and nj no time will a train be allowed to oh.
siruct any street more than two minutes.
The police need no warrants 10 arrest the
engineers for violating tlIis ordinance pro.
yidod they see the oiicnso committed. This
will 90 into effect tomorrow. and I want
each road notified Of my orders. We will
give them twcnty.iour hours 10 comply and
make a radical change"
