The big grain exchange is 10 be ar
raigned by the government for fixing
what is known as the cali price Of
grain each day at the close of trading.
Under a new rule of the board. which
has been in existence for many years,
no broker is permitted to deal in grain
at any but the cali price from the
closing Of the exchange on one day TIL
the opening Of the trading the next
day.
The result of this rule is the fixing
of the price of grain during period of
about 81 hours each day. Only during
the three hours Of trading is the price
subject to natural fluctuations.
The penalty for violation Of this rule
by any broker is suspension. As a con-
sequence, violations are rare
The government will contend in its
bill that this naming of a call price to
govern deals in grain during q hours
suppresses the natural competition that
otherwise would exist, and results in
an artificial imitation OF the cost Of

CAPT. REYBOLD
DEFENDS DEEPER
CANAL SCHEME

Captain Philip Reybold, a staunch
advocate of the Chesapeake and Del
aware Canal being free waterway
in commenting on the statement is
sued by Nelson. Cook & Co, of Balti-
more in opposition to the project
says in an interview:
THE opposition to the deepening
Of the canal on The part of a certain
class of men in Baltimore has al
ways existed While do not know
the business relations of Nelson.
Cook and Company. the commission
men and those bankers in Baltimore
who handle railroad bonds have al
ways opposed the deepening of the
canal. They take the view thar
Baltimore would in this way lose
some of her trade in the Chesapeake
bay. When such commerce reaches
Baltimore il is shipped north and
west by the railroads, and OF course
the railroad might lose some OF
these shipments after the canal was
made deep enough to carry this com
merce.
But they overlook the fact that
this system Of canals through Della
ware and New Jersey with the new
1000 ton Erie canal opens up the
lake cities to water transportation.
This would tend to cheaper railroad
freight rates and Baltimore, with the
rest of the country, would benefit"
