WHEAT PRICES NOT
MANIPULATED

Chicago, Sept. discharges by Com
missioner Hatigan of the New York bu-
reau of weights and measures that price
manipulation by Chicago traders were
characterized as absurd today by prom
inent members Of the Chicag aboard OF
trade.
''The United STAGES wheat crop is
400 100000 bushels short, says j. =.
Griffin, president of the board. "The
Canadian crop is 150,000,000 short and
the European crops are below the aver
age. The advance in wheat prices is
due to the law of supply and demand,
and that only. 1t is absurd to suggest
that group of men could even mo-
mentarily control so vast commodity
as wheat
Hatigan's charges were made in an
appeal to the federal trade commission
at Washington for an investigation.

"The Austro- Hungarian army, as

ing themselves against it and prepar'
ing to increase the vigor Of their blows

But if l had to make a hypothesis
should be inclined to think that the
month Of August, 1917, might see tn
end Of our memorable work.
"The present war is one which it Ii
impossible for the allies to lose, al
though a great deal remains to be ac
complished. A successful result is al
ready in our hands; the game is al
ready won."
