TRANSACTIONS IN GRAIN.
Important Ruling Made by Com
missioner of Internal Revenue.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue has re-
ceived an inquiry as to the aaxability
of transactions in grain and provisions
by members of the Board of Trade in
Chicago, before and after regular board
hours, in the offices of the parties to
such transactions. and also at times
on the sidewalks in the vicinity OF the
board.
In his reply the Commissioner holds
that transactions of this character be-
tween those specially engaged therein
in any business place used for such
purpose, without regard to location or
designation where they may meet and
make their agreements, are subject to
tax. This construction of the law
however, is held not to apply to the
casual transactions which may occur
on the sidewalks, street corner or other
public places where they may occa-
sionally happen.
This ruling is in accordance with the
recent opinion Of the Attorney General
