TRADING IN PRIVILEGES.
Vigorous Defense Of Specializing
Practices at Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 20.-Vigorous defense
of the practice OF trading In privileges was
made by President Walter Fitch of the Chi
cago board of trade in an address last
night at the monthly dinner of the board
of trade Bohemia Club
Never shall the members of the Chicago
board of trade deal In privileges In Mil
waukee when they cannot in Chicago" he
declared.
IN regard to the quotations which are
used In bucket shops, 1t is my contention
and always has been that quotations are
personal property, much as horse and
carriage that I own, and whoever infrfnges
upon this personal right deserves the full
punishment that can be melted out to them.
I'm spite Of argument which Is brought
erty although 1t may be news to you, we
have contracts with the telegraph COM
panies which stfpulate that we have abso-
lutte right to accept or reject applications
for quotations.
II believe our clearinghouse system Is
old and Inadequate, and our margin system
Is an absolute farce. In the last two years
we have had failures that nave cost the
public S20O0,000, and many of these were
people who were under the board OF trade
cloak, which they used as badge Of hon.
esty and stability to induce people to de-
post money with them.
1--WE must do business honestly. There
are two people concerned In the insolven-
cies among our own memberships, the
man who makes the debt, and, second, the
man who allows him to make the debt.
When you contribute to these conditions by
indiscriminate credits you are committing
an offense against that institution, and you
know what the ending Is as well as 1 do"

pected that other indictments will be made

Swift 81 Co.'S attorneys said that impure
meat was sent here by mistake, and had
been intended for the Ohio trade. Quanti-
ties OF bOracic acid were found In the meat
examined. Swift & Co. were indicted here
Saturday, and arranged with the common

fess and do away with the publicity of

be investigated in nearly every town in

In very truth, what is one mans meat is
another mans poison. According to the
packers Ohioans are less susceptible to

sheep than are the Kentuckians. The
