JUDGE CONDEMNS FUTURES"
Injunction Asked For by Chicago
Beard Of Trade Refused.

ONdiG ~ falC FNCIGSeG.
81. Louis. Mo. April An injunc-
ton sought by the Chicago Board OF
Trade To establish the ownership OF
the quotations on the prices OF grains
ana other commodities was denied by
Judge Adams in the United States
District Court. The Judge condemned
the dealing in futures
Judge Adams said The main
question argued and the one which
unterlies the whole case is whether
the property right complainant may
have in the continuous quotations in
question Is so tainted with unsavori-
ness as TO preclude resort To a court
OF equity by the complainant for its
protection. | am satisfied that many
OF the so-called sales for future deliv-
cries which furnish the basis OF the
quotations are merely gambling trans
actions
The property which the complain
ant asks this cour; 10 protect by its
inJunctive process is the right TO mo-
nopolize the speedy dissemination OF
Information instructing the public
what wagers are being made on the
future price of grain and other com
modities by the members of the Chi
cago Board of Trade. Such is not a
species OF property which appeals TO
court of conscience for protection. "
