SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER

On July 13, 1951, a telegram was received from respondent's attorney to the 

effect that the decision and order entered in this proceeding on June 20, 1951, 

have been appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit 

and that the court entered a stay order pending judicial review. While awaiting 

official confirmation, it is considered advisable to enter our own stay order 

immediately so that the contract markets may be informed adequately prior to 

July 20, 1951, which was the day upon which the suspensions of trading 

privileges would otherwise commence. Accordingly, the order of June 20, 1951, 

suspending the trading privileges of Great Western Food Distributors, Inc., 

Nathaniel E. Hess, and Charles S. Borden is stayed pending the outcome of the 

appeal. 

Two minor typographical errors in the decision and order of June 20 are 

hereby corrected. On the last line of page 40, the word "this" is changed to 

the word "thus" and on page 63, line 1, there are inserted the words "future 

delivery on or subject to the rules of any board of" immediately after the word 

"for."
