sPEcULATING ON BANKS FUNDS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2. 2.-Detectives are
on the lookout for A. M. Standlford
the absconding banker from Christ
man, Ills. Inquiry here has de-
veloped the fact that for the past
two years heavy speculation on the
board of trade has been going on
through the Christman bank with
varying success. The banks pre-
tended to be trading orders sent by
them and given in behalf of a syndi-
cate Of depositors in the Christman
bank but there Is suspicion that
Standlfords themselves are the real
traders. Their dealings were heavy
amounting sometimes to about u
million bushels of grain per day.
