Thiro wai good deal of noiio on tha fl
of tha board of trade , and leu actual buiit
dona than uiiul. It U customary for
board to adjourn over Good Friday , but this
tlmo , perhaps ai much through oversight as
through any intentional disrespect to the day
) hnt to many regard as tacrrd , the board did
not votp to adjouru , The rules require that
the notice of a motion to cdjourn for any spc
cial occasion shall bo given ono day in ad
vance , and in the present Instance this was
neglected. The consequence was that the
board did not nnd could not adjourn , and this
railed something of a feeling among certain
sets. The majority of the members thoueht
it was better to do as nlmcst all other
boards of trade do , especially as under
the circumstances there was not much busi
ness to transact , but the minority took
adrantago of tbo techinal point Involved and
woio apparently determined not to bo depriv
ed of ono day'fl trading , because cf some pee
ple's reluious scruples. There was not much
heard upon the subject during the forenoon
except hero and there among some titoup of
operators who saw no chance of operating mul
who thought It WAS n pity that Chicago alone
should ignore Good Friday a a recognized
holiday. At noon President Blake called the
board to order and briefly stated the ca-e ,
Ho said that there w&s only ono way by
which an adjournment for the afternoon
could be made , and that was tt instruct the
secretary by a unanimous vote to cast a li l-
lot , which would thus become the vote ot the
members. Many , ho said , who were against
adjourning yesterday were for it now and the
majority asked the minority to respect their
wish. No business could bo done , and ho
hoped the minority would not oppose the
motion. The president then road tno formal
motion , and the rcponeu was loud and seem
ingly unanimous in favor of adjournment.
There were some no'es , however , and the
president withering ! ) ' ileclaml that the board
was not adjourned. Ho took occasion to eny
that ho would see ti It that proper decorum
was observed on tbo floor , nnd tin ) admonition
was probably not out of pltca , as a number ol
