GOOD FOR BOARD OF

it Benefits.

Chicago, Oct. Nv. II. Bartlett, d
prominent member of the board of
trade, was the first witness called be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion today when the hearing on grain
trade was resumed. Bartlett declared
the rule recently passed by the Board
of Trade fixing the prices to be bid on
grain in the country is in his opinion
in restriction of competition and trade
and good business proposition for
men dealing in grain as he deals The
rule was a good one for commission
men, but injurious to the man in the
country who buys grain, because the
rule fixes the price which dealers on
the board may not overbid.
