Many Cities Represented


at the meeting, and the grain ex-
changes of Chicago. New York. Toledo.
Winnipeg. Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Omaha and 81. Louis. The following
statement Of the proceedings was is
sued:
1T is the consensus of opinion of
the representatives of the various
boards Of trade and chambers Of com
merce assembled that the unusually
high prices are due
a. To the abnormal production of
grain and foodstufs generally the
world over during the preceding year,
and the very unfsvorable outlook for
the growing crops as forecast by our
Agricultural Department.
"2. To the breakdown in the system
of distribution because Of the inability
Of railroad companies to render normal
or efficient service, the relation Of
supply TO demand being so close that
extremely good facilities should have
been available, when, in fact, the rail
roads never in their history rendered
a service so low in efficiency.
80. With over half the world at war,
the demands from all importing coun-
tries are abnormally high. This, in
tensified by our own industrial activ-
ity. naturally has increased the de-
mand for foodstuffs.
Hysteria One Cause
a.. To the very commendable ef-
forts Of the officials at Washington TO
stimulate production, which have been
mi sinterpreted, not only by our own
people, but BY foreign governments. as
meaning that we were in condition
bordering on famine; natural condi-
lions admitted OF high prices, but the
hysteria is absolutely responsible for
I the inflated values now prevailing.
while these extraordinary condi-
tons have temporarily disarranged our
grain markets, it is the unanimous
opinion that the system Of handling
grain in the usual course through
boards Of trade and chambers OF com
merce is the most economical or nam
ding the business, and while specuia-
ton has been more or less prevalent 1t
has little 10 do with present conditions.
Il must be remembered that these
great market places are the develop
ment of thousands of years of expert
ence and are the only known means OF
distributing farm products of this coun-
fry. and until a better substitute has
been devised their operations should
not be interfered with.
