No B. Off. Quorum.

There was no quorum at the board of
trade meeting yesterday morning, and
consequently no action was taken re-
garding the result of last Tues
days cyclone. However, Judge
Atwater seemed perfectly cont
ented with the situation,an during
the time the members were waiting
with the expectations of securing
quorum, he related several anecdotes
that had considerable political sig
nificance that were quite appropriate
for the occasion. The Republican MEM
bers of thatangust body were especially
conspicuous for their absence.
