Trade Vigorously Oppose the Measure.

Representative OF Various Boards OF
Trade Vigorously Oppose the Measure.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE house
committee on agriculture to-day heard
arguments against the Butterworth anti
option bill. Murray Nelson Of the Chicago
board OF trade said that organization and
all the exchanges i'm country were In
sympathy with the first section OF the bill
to abolish trading in puts and calls and
bucket-shop dealings, but TO enforce the
provisions against trades for future de-
livery would force out of.the business the
small dealers and concentrate the trade
in the hands of large capitalists, who
were able to purchase crops and hold
them for q rise. To stop sales for future
disarranee the entire financial sys-
tenn OF the country. The bankers
Of the country moved the crops
and depend upon the transactions OF
small dealers In country towns for the
basis Of their transactions. The bill would
place the former at the mercy OF large
such price that he could hold IL until
Gabriel blew his horn without sustaining
loss. George G. Martin, OF the New York
Produce Exchange, maintained that the
farmer never before received SO great n
per cent OF the value of his crops as now.
III his Opltllou, low prices are preNaleut
because of n recent series of large crops
from which had been accumulated in
store two hundred millions of bushels Of
corn, more than ever before In the history
Of the country. The merchant has
suffered losses along with the
farmer. In 1875 commissions on
bushel OF corn Amounted To
2H cents; now the entire crop was mar
keted on a commission of one-quarter of a
cent. III the bill passes thfee-quarters OF
the export trade of the country will be
prescribed. D. Bloss OF the New York
cotton exchange read an argument against
the bill, prepared by the committee of that
exchange, prefacinR Il with n protest
against the bill signed by the leading
bankers OF New York, i'm which they state
that the passage Of the bill would work
great damage to legitimate trade and that
banks find their risks Of advances under
the present system less than under the
old. The argument Of the cotton exchange
committee holds thet the effect of trading
for future delivery has given the worlds
markets less violent character, reduced
the risks of merchants and bankers. and
mt the same time secured 10 cotton plant
ers a higher range of values than was tlle
case before the existence OF the method al
trading for future delivery. If the future
system was wiped out the exchanges al
New York and New Orleans would cease
to exist and this would transfer the b,isi-
ness to Europe and build up exchanges
over there.

what Representative Phelan says About
His DIMcalties with Col. Fleming.

His Dimcuities with Col. Fleming.
WASHINGTON, April li.-Representative
Phclan has written n card In reference to
his trouble with Col. Fleming Of Knox
vile, in the course Of which he says from
one who had seemed TO be anxious to
force him to the wall Phelan did not ex-
pect the plea that he lFleIning, ignored
the code. Phelan says he does not de-
fend the code but has never been able To
see the moral distinction between doing
another malicious mischief forbidden by
the laws Of God and Offering expiation
forbidden by the laws Of man. That he
acted hastily in sending q message de
signed To elicit challenge To the man
who ignores the code, Phelan admits, but
adds: II assume that the bullying tone
OF Flerning's refusal 20 accept
n hearty apology was the result
among other contingencies OF overwecn-
ing personal courage" Colonel Fleming
in his answer says: ~ have made myself
ridiculous. This is true, but then didn't
know Colonel Fleming as l do now"
Phelan concludes that In view Of the
scornful and insulting refusal To accept a
frank apology he thinks he can safely
leave ID 20 that portion of the world which
is brave, just and generous to say whether
what he did was without palliation.
