[Mr. McGlincy having kindly tabulated the sales for 
December, they are shown with the rest, thus giving an 
aggregate for the year.— Sec’y D. A.] 
J. R. McLean (called upon): Said that Mr.McGlincy 
had so completely covered the ground there was nothing 
left for him to say. He would illustrate in a different way, 
however, that might be more easily comprehended, the 
amount of business done by the board of trade. There had 
been 1,535 car-loads of cheese and 221 car-loads of butter 
sold on the board of trade and shipped from Elgin and 
vicinity since the organization of the board. These figuies, 
he thought, might be remembered more easily than the 
other. 
The question discussed during the afternoon No. 4 
was then brought up again, but no one responded to the 
president’s invitation to speak upon it. 
Question No. 5—“ What can be done to prevent the 
slaughter of dairy products during the summer months ?” 
was next brought up.
