We are informed that Edward White was not a
member Of the Chicago Board Of Trade. He
was admitted on the floor On clerks ticket for
the firm Of si1as Parsons i Co.; and when that
firm WAS suspended for non-payment Of certain
claims he settled up those claims, and reobtained
admission clerks ticket. It has been whis-
pered, however, that 40 far as subsequent opera
tions on Change were concerned, he WIS the
whole Of Parsons d Co., and thatthis method vas
taken because White Ta8 afraid to apply for ad-
mission on his own record.
There is reason to think that the swindles
already reported (40 cars wheat and 10 cars
barioy) are not the only ones in Which White
has been eng1eed. Several inquiries have
been made here to-day from Eastern parties,
for his whereabouts; and it is not likely that
these inquiries would be made 11nloss the
queripts had some pecuniary interest in know
ing.
