Inquiry by a special committee In
to published statements attributed
to George B. Marcy, chairman and
F. Rosenbaum, member ot the
board of managers of the grain
marketing company, It was dis
closed today.'r "';; 7-v.' ' i
In ft statement issued in Wash
ington published in , last Sunday's
newspapers, Mr. Marcy declared
that the depressioa ln grain price
last fair and winter was caused
by the huge holdIn.gs" of specula
tors and that, but for tho artificial
technical condition 5 developed
through speculative manipulations
cdnditions , had: warranted a high
price level fof all' grains this year.
! One speculative account held
such an enormous line? of grain as
id constitute a menace and the law
of supply and demand f had not
been allowed unrestricted play,
Mr. Marcy asserted in the state
statement. I Statements published yesterday
and attributed to Mr. Rosenbaum
Were to the effect that there was
manipulation in May rye and corn
transactions. Mr. Rosenbaum was
out of the city when the statement;
was published and confirmation of
it could not be obtained from his

had proved futile, for it- was dem

was not the number of cannon, nor

counted, but, the industrial forces
of a'natidn, which permitted quick
preparation 'for war. Men I had
