HITS AT CHICAGO WHEAT PIT
Jardine Demands Immediate Reform
of Board of Trade.
Washington, D. C.—Failure on the
part of the Chicago board of trade to
take immediate steps toward the adop-
tion of proposed reforms will lead to
action with a view to the suspension
or revocation of its designation as a
contract market. Secretary of Agricul
ture Jardine warned Monday.
"Recognizing that the wild fluctua
tions in the quotations of May wheat
were, in the opinion of the department,
due to manipulation. I cannot escape
the conclustion that it is imperative
for the board of trade without delay
to set up the administrative machin
ery to prevent recurrence of such a
condition." said Secretary Jardine. “A
failure on the part of the board to
take these steps immediately will
leave to me. under the terms of my
plain obligations, no alternative than
to inaugurate action looking to the
suspension or revocation of the desig
nation of the Chicago board of trade
as a contract market. In these cir
cumstances time is the essence.”
Secretary Jardine characterised as
of far-reaching importance recom
mendations made to the president and
board of directors of the Chicago board
of trade by a so-called members' pro
gram committee. These recommenda
tions. if put into effect, will, he be
lieves. go a long way toward reflect
ing a true supply and demand situa
tion on the Chicago market.
Secretary Jardine considers of
particular importance the recommend
ation to set up a committee of busi
ness conduct. The regular members
of this committee during the period
of their incumbency would pledge
themselves not to speculate for their
personal account.
Another recommendation of far-
reaching importance, in the opinion of
Secretary Jardine, is the one giving
the board of directors power to limit
daily fluctuations in the market prices
of grain during emergency periods
such as occurred early this year.
