Trading On CALI
The St Louis DeaOerat explains as follows
call system, which Is now on trial at the
Merchants Exchange there: "We will sx-
plain that a public call Of grain and provision
dealers is sought, in order that the unknown
bUyer q the seller may find each
other without unnecessary delay. Here are
cases in point: Last week, Friday. q
prominent miller OF this city received an or
der from New Orleans 70 buy BOO bushels Of
spring wheat for October delivery. he spent
Friday and most OF Saturday in the vain at
tempt 70 ind a seller, and then t~elegraphed 70
New Orleans that the order could not be filed.
He is a miller, and not favOring the Call
Board movement, did not choose to give IT h
aid and comfort Of his presence. At the sane
time this miller was searching about the Ex-
for a purchaser for his wheat, another
miller. who is a pretty exclusive wheat re-
ceiver, as well a miller, received an order
from a Northwestern customer TO sell him
m,00 bushels offspring wheat for October. Not
being a patron Of the Call Board he failed to
make the sale, and we presume his customer
t~eiegraphed his order to Chicago. Suppose
those two miIlers had laid aside their
prejudices last Friday or Saturday
morning, md both had come to the
Call Board, there would nave been a
between them at once, but IN the alb
Of the public call, how was either to
the other Of a desire to make such q
trade? Suppose they a come and the trade
had Occurred2 The party who had the order
10 buy 1900 bushels Of wheat for October
would have made $50 commissions on his
and the miller WHO had the 1900 bush
3ls TO sell would have made 500 on his. Ten
per cent. margins would have been required
~ both seller and buyer, which would have
in Secretary MOrgan's hands $500 until
he rad was settled We presume there are
which would willingly pay a fair rate
u interest TO the Exchange for the use Of his
money on call"
