CHICAGO TRADERS TRYING TO RE
VIVE OLD SYSTEM.
The Abolishing Of Such Trading on the
Chicago Board Has Sent to Mime
apolis Much Business Which Windy
City Brokers Will strenuously At
tempt to Win Back.

Advices from Chicago indicate q de de.
termined effort on the part Of the
younger element of the Chicago Board
Of Trade to work around the end Of the.
restrictive regulations against trading
business now coming to Minneapolis.
There is an Illinois statute which would
first have to be repealed before the
Chicago board could 90 ahead. It is the
plan of the element seeking a change to
have this measure declared unconstitu-
tional. To that end an g offer and de-
trade in puts and calls, = was made
between Marks Bates and Harry
Woods, two Chicago brokers, and the
matter brought before Judge Gary, in
the form Of a suit for settlement. u
The suit was test case. Judgment
for ST ,425 was entered against Woods,
making it valid trade. The amount
of wheat involved was 10000 bushels.
Champions Of "puts'' and "calls - on
the Chicago board welcomed the de-
cision as a step toward establishing
statute in Illinois prohibiting such trad
Today the announcement comes that
another and still more definite move is
under way by means Of which it is
hoped to effect return to old Hputs

privileges in Chicago came originally
from the wealthy conservative element.
on account of abuses. It was argued
that an increase in cash business would
offset any decline in speculative trad
ing that might follow. It has not
worked out that way. For instance,
since Aug. l, wheat receipts at Chica.
were so 49, . o. bushels e9GmPa1sd
Rod year ago, a considerable loss.
Meanwhile, the Minneapolis receipts
were 1873, 900 bushels compared with
8,549000, a handsome gain. &
Chicago is getting neither her former
volume of speculative trade nor her for
mer receipts. of wheat, and she ought
to do something to recoup her losses.

DIPLOMACY.
A Polite business Very Mich Like
the Practice of Law,

Diplomacy Is matter of business,
though II polite business, hcdgcd about
by etiquette and forms and adorned
with few frills. Get behind the lin
gcrlc and the lingo AMI go to the heart
of the thing and you will find IL very
much like the practice OF law The
man with the best case ought TO win,
nnu when he doesn't and the man with
the poorer case does win it Is because
he Is the better man and knows bet
ter how to present his case and how
TO handle it, There is another popu-
lar notion that the American diplomat
ic establishment Is weak because our
representatives abroad contend with
men trained all their lives In tic diplo-
matte school. We have no permanent
diplomatic establishment Our ann
bassadors and ministers abroad arc
picked from law offices, editorial rooms
and even counting rooms. Usually
they have had no previous acquaint-
ancc with diplomatic work. Yet nine
times out Of ten they are more than
Il match for the men they have to deal
with abroad. Breadth and strength of
character. knowledge of human nature
and experience gained in the rough
and tumble of lift count for quite as
much as the other fellows dilettantc
