Unfortunately, the public knows 10 ts soiiom
the methods of the bucFetshop better than IL
does the legitimate boards of trade BucketshoPs
in outward appearance exactly the same as
the offices of a private wire company. They are
intentional counterfeiters. Bucketshops do not
trade in grain at all They simply bet with their
customers the fluctuations and frequently hoid
back or make fluctuations to suit themselves.
The real broker however. who is member OF
regular authorized grain exchange wants his Gus
toners to make money, and If 1t is in MS power
they make money. If they don't he knows that
he will lose their trade because their commission
is all that he makes.
1t is interesting TO trace the handling of car
of grain from arrival until it is delivered into
the elevator. First, it is necessary to provide
for the protection of from thieves after the

Yards as a rule, located in remote parts o:
large cities and this remoteness, together with
the fact that they attract to their neighborhood
numbers of petty pilferers. makes special protec-

when held in horizontal position The clenched
fist means the price in even cents. Each out
stretched finger, the fingers being spread apart.
represents added eighth of cent up to Ave
eighths; the extended hand with all of TIE fingers
pressed together means three-quarters, and the
thumb only signals seven-eighths. The hand dis
played vertically refers to quantities. each
tended finger meaning 5000 bushels up to 1000
for the entire hand. Whether the grain is being
offered bid for is shown by slight motion OF
the hand to-9 from the trader making the signal.

notes the latest price and gives it to ). telegraph

Thus the price of grain is made every moment
of the sesson and transmitted to all the markets
of the world
While the visitor who sits in the gallery
looking the floor, and who understands nothing
of what is going below is likely to be i'm
pressed with the thought that he is looking at the
vtas of a unatic asylum. there is really no other
business well organized that one man will ac-
cept a nod and shake of the finger for thou
sands of dollars without argument This means
that il is business embedded in honor No con-
tract either written ora1 is binding than
the contracts to which member of the associa
tion is a party. No informality, no absence of
legaitechnicalities, will avail under the rules of
the association to absove man from undeviat
ing compliance with every term and every feature
of his business obligation. Every pretext for the
avoidance of such obligation is brushed aside by
a jury, not OF a court, but or business men, mis-
peers and is not permitted TO obscure the spirit
and intent of his promises. to release him
from his responsibilities and mer
chant. When 1t is considered that in single
year more than 500000,000 bushels of grain have
been dealt in the board the success of the
system employed is apparent.
The system of buying and selling for future
delivery. applied to grain especially, and as
practised upon and safeguarded by the rules Of
the grain exchanges located in great primary
markets. is much discussed and regarding which
there is more less misunderstanding, It was
devised solely in the interest of the farmer and
interior grain buyer. 1t provides for the economi
cal marketing of the Shief grain crops If the
West. and creates and maintains broad, active

INERTIA.

Matter is anything that occupies
space and all matter is subject to uni
versal, immutable law. Our brains are
composed of matter and are. therefore,
subject to these same laws
Among the characteristics of mat
ter are those covered by Nevton's
three laws of motion:
1. All bodies continue in a state Of
rest or of uniform motion in straight
line unless acted upon by some ex-
ternal force that compels a change.
2. Every motion or change of mo-
ton is proportional to the acting force
and takes place in the direction of the
straight line along which the force
acts

But perhaps the most remarkable feature of
this sign language lies in the fact that its charac
ters while only nine in number are each of such
far-reaching Importance that thousands OF dollars
are involved practically every time of them
is made
This extraordinary system of communication is
the means by which brokers the Chicago
board of trade conduct their business of buying
and selling the open market. 1t is peculiar to
this institution. being unlike that used on the
floor of any other exchange in the world.
To the casual visitor watching the crowds con
gregated about the different pits during the times
of furry in prices the signs used by the traders
have Ineligible meaning, but to the expe-
rienced trader a simple movement of the hand
attracts attention and at the same time conveys
all the information necessary to consummate
deal
This sign language has developed with the
growth of the board and its use has long since
become necessity. The turmoil and hurry
resulting from thousand traders seeking to
attract attention in the excitement of the hour.
added 20 the click of hundreds of hgh-keyed tele-
graph instruments and the noise of small army
of messenger and nd boys scurrying about.
makes articuiate speech practically impossible.
Then. too the eve is quicker than the ear. and
the signals given with the hand or by gesture
of the head mean much a telegram to the
party addressed and frequently permits the clos
ing of trade. when if time had been taken in
an attempt to reach the side of the party making
offer. some change might have taken place IN
the market and the opportune moment would
have been lost.
This sign manual of the pit trader is simplicity
itself. and with very little practise anyone can
become adept at ii. although. of course this does
not mean that II will perfect him as master IN
the strategy and generalship demanded of Il
good broker. For instance wheat having sold at
30 cents. a trader catches the eye of some one
opposite in the pit who has 10000 bushels to sell
and partly by telepathy and partly by motion
of the clenched first, signals that he will take
the so wheat at 90 The seller, in reply. holds
up his right hand with the index finger extended
horizontally, indicating that he wants 4 cent
more than the price quoted or 9O1s cents The
buyer motions acceptance and signals back 1s
The seller and buyer then note on their cards
sold so at Il Jones' and Bot so at Il Smith,
respectively. the number of bushels bought and
sold always meaning so many thousands After
leaving the pit the two traders meet and check
the operations

forever in straight line with the

that they are to report for duty at
