OF Tsekers Linpes Yesterday.
The Governors Of the Stock Exchange decid-
ed on Saturday that unless tho Gold and Stock
Telegraph Company agreed by 10 o'clock yes
terday morning to pay 500 day for the
privilege OF collecting and distributing the
quotations for stocks they could not have the
quotations. DR.. Norvin Green and his lawyers
were out Of bed yesterday betimes. Dillon q
Swayne had procured from Judge Bischoff. in
the Court OF Common Pleas. an Injunction
which was served on Secretary George W. Ely
Of the Exchange at 9:45 4. NJ.
The terms OF tho Injunction were not clear
either TO Mr.. Ely or to Carter & Ledyard. law
yers for the Stock Exchange. According to
their Interpretation the Injunction restrained
the New York Stock Exchange from cutting
the wires Of the Gold and Stock Company on
the Exchange. But these wires had been cut
late on Saturday. and 80 Mr.. Ely threw the Or
der Of the court upon his desk. and not Gold
and Stock instrument was in operation on the
Exchange all day.
DR.. Green and his lawyers interpret tho
terms OF the Injunction differently. DR.. Green
expressly stated in the afternoon that tho in
junction meant that the New York Stock Ex.
change was restrained from giving preference
