port:
We, the undersigned committe, ap-
pointed by a regular meeting of the
Trade, held on the 9TH of September,
1874, to confer with a committee of the
Patrons of Husbandry, beg leave to re-
port as follows:
That after a lengthy interchange Of
views upon the subject of the matter
of charges of our warehouses, we find
that the Patrons of Husbandry are not
disposed to make any offer except 81
per cent. including all charges; and
we, the committee, recommend that
the action of the Board of Trade Of yes
terday be sustained; and we also beg
leave to submit a communication from
the Patrons of Husbandry.
On motion the report was received.
The question here being discussed by
Col. j. r. Winston on the part of the
Patrons of Husbandry, and Mr.. Jno. W.
Holland for the Association, on motion
of Mr.. G.. T. Pace it was resolved that,
inasmuch as the Association only re-
Quires of the warehouses uniform rate
of charges, the warehOusemen be re-
quested to meet the committee from
Patrons of Husbandry and see if the
charges for selling tobacco could be re-
duced any, from the rate adopted by
the committee, March 9th, 1874
The above committees met and after
a full exchange of views, six out Of
seven warehouses reported that the
business could not be done for less than
the present rate. Capt. Graves reported
that he was willing to sell for the Gran.
gers at d per cent. Then the report
of the majority of the warehousemen
that the rate of charges remain as pre-
viously fixed was adopted by the Assc-
tiatiOn.
On motion of @. G.. Holland it was
resolved that these resolutions be pub
lished, under the supervision of a com
mittee of three, in the city papers, and
that 5000 copies be printed for distri-
button. Committee. w. Holland,
