U. S. INVESTIGATES
RAPID PRICE CLIMB
TBY LEASED WlRE,1

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-"The most
searching investigation ever conduct
ed in Chicago" was the way United
States District Attorney Clyne today
described the inquiry he has begun
into the reasons for the high price of
fresh meats and of wheat
Thirty bakers and butchers were
questioned today in the district attor-
neys office. A dozen were called in
and questioned Sunday When Mr..
Clyne has laid affidavits he will pre-.
sent the evidence if he finds indica-
lions of artificial price fixing to the
December grand jury which is to be
sworn in this week.
Board of trade men today pooh
pooed the possibility Of the inquiry
any where. They were unanimous in
declaring that the heavy exports of
wheat and the high prices offered by
warning Europe alone were RESPONSE
Bile for the sensational advance since
August l. Attention was called to the
fact that the majority of Chicago
traders have been bears and their re.
peated profit taking has spoiled a
dozen advance price movements since
they broke the first advance when
May wheat touched $131 on Septem.
