Made by Grain Gamblcrs-Supply and
Demand Not Factors.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The committee on
agriculture, of the house. to-day began
hearings on the various anti-option bills
well-known statistioan, of Kansas, appeared
to-day in advocacy of the Hatch bill. He
said II will not go into the question of
the effect of tariff or currency supply upon
the price of these commodities. l cannot
see that the question of tariff affects the
the former materially. After the year 1870
there began to grow upon boards of trades
the system OF dealing i'll fictitious farm
products. Its influence seems to have
grown with the years. Gentlemen OH the
othes side of this question tell us that in
order to market tho farm products of the
country we must have these new methods.
yet we marketed, think, more breadstutfs
and pork relatively to population, ten
years ago, before this method
come into vogue, than we do to-day. If we
were then able to market our products
without these methods, why cannot we do
it now? They tell us We cannot do it with
out monev, but there is more worth rela-
lively in this country now than there was
ten or twelve or fifteen years ago. Now the
consumption Of tho world has overtaken
production. Ii wheat brought $1.7O per
bushel in Britain for tho nine years ending
in 1874. why should it not bring good
Price now with a lessened product per cap
itaY 1t is. I think, because of the offering
of unlimited fictitious amounts on the
markets without any regard to the real pro
duct. Az II matter Of fact, the prices of
grain are frequently made in Chicago by
three or four men,"
just before adjournment Murray Nelson
and othors, representing tho Chiongo board
of trade, laid before the committee volu-
minous memorial in opposition to anti
option legislation, The arguments of the
memorial are chiefly that boards of trade
nre essential to the marketing of tho far

MAY BE A SCHEME.

Morris Says tho Louisiana Lottery Com
pany Will Quit Business.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 3.-John A. Morris,
of the Louisiana Lottery company, to-day
issued lengthy address to the people of
Louisiana, setting forth facts in connection
with lottery matters. He says that in 1883
he was approached by a number of prom
inent democrats of Louisiana who urged
on him the propriety of submitting to the
legislature proposition or constitutional
amendments which would grant him and
associates a lottery privilege for twenty-five
years in consideration of license sufi-
cisntly high to be of material assistance to
the state. He was assured that the propo-
sition wonld meet with little, if any, oppo-
sition, and those suggestions prompted him
to make announcements to the effect that
he would give half million per annum as
a license. After the Mississippi floods, 1t
the solicitation of a number of gentlemen,
he increased the amount to one million
and q quarter, and thus it was submitted to
the people. Then began the crusade in
side and outside of the state, which resulted
in the enactment by congress OF the anti
lottery postal law. .l
Morris says he was informed by num-
ber Of able attorneys that this law was IN
violation OF the rights of state and the
freedom of the press, and such, in their
opinion would be the decision of the su-
preme court Of the United States. Realiz-
ing now that they have been incorrect in
their opinion Of public sentiment, and not
desiring to see the people Of Louisiana in
volved in strife over the question,
Morris declares that they would not
accept or qualify under the amend
metit, even were it to be adopted
Eby the people, April next. Az the supreme
court Of the United States has decided the
anti-lottery postal law constitutional it i 8
his purpose to uphold that law and abstain
from violating it in any manner. Conf
dent that the granting of another lottery
charter would be the cause of continued
agitation and discomfort on the part of a
number of citizens of louisiana, he and
his associates would be ~ willing to ac-
cept such charter, even though it was given
without the payment of one dollar license
