PHILLIPS QUITS
Corn King Transfers Trades
and Suspends Business
Operations.
HIS BOOKS ARE TANGLED.
And Time Must Be Taken
To Straighten Them
Out.

Chicago, Aug. George H. Phil
lips, the "corn king" has transferred
ali his trades to McReynolds & Co.
He closed all open trades Wednesday.
The Phillips company is credited with
having done the largest commission
house business on the board of trade
last year. The business suspended
today.
Lack of facilities for proper cieri-
cal needs of the concern, according to
the statement given the Associated
Press by Attorney John S. Goodwin,
who has taken charge Of the Phillips
company's affairs, was the sole reason
for temporarily susPending business.
Tangled CandItIOn of Books.
The tangled condition of the books
became apparent some time ago when
the board of trade directors ruled
that the Phillips company should fur
nish to each member of the May corn
pool detailed account of the entire
transaction.
As the firms business kept increas-
ing at remarkable rate, the
machinery of the house was
found inadequate, and it was
decided to simply transfer all trades
and for the time being throw
all the business of the house into
other hands until a complete new set
of books had been compiled. Tho
announcement of the turn of affairs
caused scarcely ripple in the board
of trade markets.
