DIFFERENT REASONS ASSIGNED FOR THE
REMOVAL OF L A MAcKN1cHr

DIFFERENT REASONS ASSIGNED FOR THE
REMOVAL OF J. A. MACKNIGHT
James A. MacKnight. who. for the last few yeas
had been manager o. the ST. Btrtholomew's Loan
Bureau. was removed by the Board OF Managers at
the beginning Of the present month. Since his dis
missal 1t has been said in some quarters that Mr.
Macknight who was at time United States
Consul at ST. Helena, and who is also known a
contributor to magazines and newspapers was dis
charged because he persisted in foreclosing mort
cages OF poor people who had borrowed money OF
the Bureau.
The st. Bartholomew's Loan Bureau is an organ
ization connected with the missionary work OF ST.
Bartholomew Parish. and was formed for the pur-
pose Of lending money to poor people In temporary
difficulties. AS security for the repayment Of the
loans mortgages were placed the furniture Of the
borrowers. For some months mortgages in several
instances have been foreclosed and the furniture
sold. and to the apparent harshness of this pro-
ceedng has beer attributed Mr. MacKnights dis
missa When yesterday by Tribune reporter
he denied that he had advocated the foreclosure OF
mo tgages and maintained that he discharged
because he endeavored to pursue exactly opposite
policy. He said: THE report that was discharged
because foreclosed mortgages on poor people Is not
due to the fact that refused to put these fore
closures in force. l undertook in the first instance
the management of the Bureau because under,
stood 1t was going to be a charitable work ana
that no harsh measures would be resorted TO- Inc
Rev. Dr. Greer also always advocated policy OF
lenity toward the poor people who were unaple I'M
mediately to meet their engagements.
"ln January last new policy was introduced

Consequently the people who had

The Rev. DR.. J. Booth. the general superintendent
Of the st. Bartholomew Missions was also seen.
but he refused TO say anything except that Mr. Nc
Knight had been discharged because he refused 10
carry out the instructions and follow out the policy
laid down by the Board OF Managers.

ACTION OF COTTON EXCHANGE COMMITTEE
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPTIONS.

FLUCTUATIONS IN OPTIONS
The Committee on Revision Of Spot Quotations
OF the New-York Cotton Exchange refused again
at its meeting yesterday 20 cut down the differ
ences on the high grades There is a big short In
terest on the Exchange still uncovered. and the
action of the committee was such that no bear
operator could complain OF 1t. 1t was rumored
that by making a just cut In the high grades. as
had been asked, the committee would have freed
from an incubus the commerce Of this port and
thereby have enhanced the value Of cotton fully
Nc d pound. As the committee left the big DIFF
ferences untouched. 1t follows that every holder Of
cotton suffered to that extent. There was heard
the floor some strong criticism OF the action OF
the committee. and It was suggested that other In
besides those OF the operators on the New
York Cotton Exchange might be concerned In any
action to hamper restrict the legitimate busi-
OF the great port OF New-York. TIE New
York Cotton Exchange exists by virtue OF a char
ter granted 10 II by the people OF the State OF New
York. Further light may be needed on the asser-
lions that the New-York Cotton Exchange. by tho
action OF its committee Is preventing exports from
this port
The bear operators sold cotton again yesterday
and forced the market down 10 points under the
quotations OF Tuesday night. but as on the pre-
v!ous day. the actual demand for cotton reflected
In the spot sales everywhere and continued light
receipts sent the quotations OF options nearly
back TO where they were last night. The market
closed from unchanged to points decline for the
day. August closed at 7.S3. October a, 72S.
Liverpool again reported spot sales OF l2N0 bales
at unchanged prices On this side o. the water
the SHOWING was equally good. New-Orleans sold
