ELGIN BOARD OF TRADE.
At the session of the Northwestern Dairymen's Association, held at Elgin Jan. 16 to 18, 1872, the following committee was appointed by the Chair (Judge Wilcox) to adopt measures for the organization of a Board of Trade for the purchase and sale of dairy products :
R. R. Stone and C. W. Gould, of Elgin, Ira Albro, of Wayne, and R. W. Stew- art, of Hebron. At a subsequent meet- ing, held at the Home National Bank, Feb. 15, the following gentlemen were added to the above committee : J. R. McLean, of Elgin. Mark Dunham, of Wayne, and Geo. Lake, of Gray Wil- low, with instructions to draft a cousti- tution and by-laws, and report at an ad- journed meeting to be held at Elgin March 1, 1872. At the adjourned meet ing, the report of the committee was ac- ecpted and, with slight change, the con- stitution and by-laws were adopted, and the following officers elected : Dr. J. Tefft, President ; J. R. McLean, Vice President ; R. R. Stone, Secretary ; and O. Davidson, Treasurer. The results , attained by this organization have far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the originators in bringing about a concert of action on the part of the dairymen of the Northwest, thereby es- tablishing a higher grade, and, hence, higher prices for their products. The dairy product from the factories of the Northwest is now put upon the market on its own merit, and it is no longer necessary to brand it " New York fac- tory " in order to obtain its value, which is the highest market price; and it is mainly through this organization that these results have been attained. The number of factories represented on the Board at the present time is about one hundred. The sales for the year 1877 were 6,636,386 pounds of cheese and 1,174,385 pounds of butter. The following members have served the Board in an official capacity : Dr. Joseph Tefft, President, from 1872 to date; J. R. McLean, Vice President, in 1872, also Secretary from 1873 to 1876, inclusive ; R. R. Stone, Secretary, in 1872; O. Davidson, Treasurer, in 1872-73; W. T. Osgood, Vice President, in 1873-74 ; C. C. Church, Treasurer, from 1874 to date ; C. W. Gould, Vice President, from 1875 to date. Officers for 1877 : Dr. Joseph Tefft, President ; C. W. Gould, Vice President ; R. P. McGlincy, Sec- retary ; C. C. Church, Treasurer. The following statement will show the aggre- gate sales on the Board of Trade sinee its organization : The sales, in 1872,

amounted to $81,000; in 1873, to $219,177.53; in 1874, to $368,528.58 ; in 1875, to $496,220.04; in 1876, to $767,640.68; and in 1877, to $1,059,- 085.08. The total sales for the six years, ending with December, 1877, amounted to $2,991,651.91. These fig- ures speak louder than words, and show conclusively that the Board has been placed on a firm footing by the united efforts of the factory men and buyers. A stable market has always been found in Elgin for both butter and cheese since the establishment of the Board, and the Board has gained a wide reputa- tion, and its sales regulate the prices of dairy products in many of the larger cities in the country .. Especially is this so west of the Mississippi. It should be to the interest of the milk producer, as well as the manufacturer and buyer, to aid in sustaining the Board.
