than at any recent date. Many new
factories and mills have been added
to the productive capacity, facilities
are being increased at old plants. and
idle shops resumed through the set
blockade still exists. owing to lack CT
transportation facilities. Large crops
are being harvested. and the greater
abundance of food stuffs caused de-
cline in prices of commodities during
August of 80 per cent. Retail trade
is large. with a bright outlook for the
future in jobbing and wholesale busi-
ness.
Although the weekly capacity of pig
iron furnaces in blast on Sept. l was
reported as $50. 1S9 tons by The Iron
Age it has since been appreciably cur
tailed by the inadequate supply OF fuel,
and orders abroad are extensive. New
England producers of boots and shoes
are insisting on full prices. No sign
of weakness is seen in leather. Textile
mills are well occupied. with prices
sustained in all cases. The market
for wOOlenS is good. Low stocks OF

Important Ruling Which Affects
Chicago Board of Trade
Operations.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Corners in grain

by Judge Chytraus in the circuit

junction asked by Waite Thorburn &
Co. against prominent commission
houses in the recent July oats cor

The most important ruling is that
the Chicago board of trade loses the
power to pass on the property rights
where margins are involved, denying
its authority to discipline the mem
bers for refusing to put up called
