NO MORE FUN FOR THE BROKERS.

For some years the Produce Exchange
brokers have celebrated the close of the year
by making things hideous on the floor Of the
Exchange on December 81. Firecrackers and
bombs have been thrown around promiscu-
ously and the members literally bombarded
with -four. Crowds have gathered about the
doors, attracted by the smoke and cannonade
and the day has been the sensation of the
downtown district. But the authorities OF the
Exchange have determined TO put stop to
the frolic, and yesterday morning Caller
Bunker read from his dais order forbid
ding the usual sport and imposing fine of
$40 for each infraction thereof. 1t remains to
be seen whether the brokers will tamely sub
NIT to this quietus their time-honored fun
not.

to lock the jurymen UP again. and they were

eighteen ballots had been taken, and that In the
last twelve hours the vote stood lO to : for
