BOARD OF TRADE PROVES
-BIG SUCCESS FROM START
The Portland , board of trade scored
an Instant success at its opening- Wed
nesday. Transactions on tie exchange
were considered good for the start
business lnoreaalng after the first day.
On this account it waa found necessary
after the first day to hold two ses
sions each day the one at fl .o'clock
ror grain and at noon for puoaucers
fres from restraint of. trade. A board
of trad has no . monopolistlo feature
whatever and admits of the unhindered
and healthful play of the forces of com
petition. By a Judlelous, systematlo
and practical adoption of business meth

with business competitors trying their
utmost to secure the shipments. This
In itself would force ths trade to pay
the real market value for eu-nllea.
Asked to give his view of th matttr.
Secretary Fred ktuller of the board of
trade -contributes th following state
ment: , .
"In response to aa inquiry aa to ths
affect of the board of trade's functions
upon th producer, anybody at all fa
miliar with board of trade work knows
that there la not a branch of business
which is conducted so openlx, so ab
solutely above board and ao directly
with reference to the common welfare
and no department of business is so
to 4he bu;er and seller to meet dally
on th floor, will tend to act as a bar-
ometor of actual busineaa conditions.
In the practical operation of th board
of trad th producers' Interests are
taken care of without ' breludlo and
without partiality. The appointment of
quoution committees is by ths montn
and on tha first of each month such
oommltteaa la by the month and on th
committee are ' changed in order . t
avoid any aemblance of one-eidednees.
