BOARD Of TRADE
FIXES MAXIMUM
PRICE FOR CORN
toy 1oss,1a ,ou.s.l SPECIAL ,...so w,...

tsYNoRHiko JOURNAL SPECIAL LeAsgp wiRHi
Chicago, June 4-Board of trade di-
rectors fixed maximum price for
corn late today, as was done with
wheat several weeks ago. The price
fixed was $1.65 on all contracts of
corn for future delivery. There was
less excitement among the brokers
than on the occasion of the similar
action taken on wheat some weeks
ago.
The following resolution was adopt
ed at the directors meeting:
Resolved, that on and after
Wednesday, June 6, 1917. until
further notice members of this board
in making contracts for the purchase
or sale, by grade alone, of corn to be
delivered in stores either for imme-
date or future delivery, shall not In
entering in such contracts exceed the
price of one dollar and sixty cents per
bushel. Be 1t further
Would BE Grave Offense.
Resolved, that any member trad
ing in vioaltion of the foregoing shall
be deemed to have committed a grave
offense against the good name OF the
association"
Joseph p. Griffin, president of the
board Of trade. said after the meet
ing.
I'm order that this action of the di-
rectors in fixing a maximum price for
all corn contracts may not be misin-
terpreted. l would have it understood
that the step was taken for purely
preventative reasons. While 1t Is a
fact that governments and consumers
are liberal buyers of corn for present
and future delivery. there Is no pres
ent indication that this buying has
reached proportions that might result
in unduly enhacing values.
On Presidents Advice.
1T Is the policy of the administra-
ton in Washington to prevent the
price Of foodstuffs reaching an abnor-
mally high level and the action of our
directory in fixing $1.65 as me maxi
mum for corn contracts is simply in
support of the policy of President Will
son and his advisers"
According to brokers about the
board of trade, there is little corn in
Chicago. Since last Thursday the price
of this commodity has advanced 1e to
Is cents, and the tendency to further
advance is believed to have prompted
the board of trade officials to take
action similar to that taken on wheat.

Indications have been found that
the secret mail system was operated

Officials believe it would only con-
fuse the situation for fragmentary res
turns to be handled. They have urged
the press of the country to make no
comparisons of the results as between
town and town or state and state un-
less the full report from each locality
is available.
To this end reports from the pre-
cinct registrars will be compiled i'm
mediately on the close of registration
at 3 D. m. The cards will be examined
and the summarization transmitted by
wire to the county or city officials,
which will give all detailed informa-
tion that is needed. In turn. when
all precincts have reported, the sher-
ifs or the city boards will transmit
to the governors an abstract of these
detailed reports, dealing In totals only,

Complete Returns Only.
Officials here said tonight that
there was no objection to the publi-
cation of any completed precinct,
county, city or state report, but that
the furnishing of partial returns
had been forbidden.
Preparations now are In progress
for registration In Alaska and Hawaii.
The governors of the territories are
mapping out their plans and when
they are ready the president will fix
a registration day for each territory
Officials who have watched closely
all reports of agitation declared to-
night there was absolutely no indica-
ton Of any concerted movement to in
terfere with registration. They be.
lieve that reports of the few scattered
cases which have developed nave
greatly exaggerated the situation ana
that the country as whole is in COM
plete accord with the objects of the
law.
In working out details Of registra.
ton plans government officials have
found state, city or county govern
ments eager to take their part. AS to
the success of the project huge as 1t
is, officials have no doubt. The whole
nation is at work on the job. 1t Is
the peoples business, the business OF
the individual citizens to carry 1t
