to Act.

Chicago, May 15.-Delegates from
six boards of trade met In Chicago
to stop speculation in wheat futures
and to curb wild fluctuation in oil

Minneapolis, Duluth, Kansas City,
st. Louis and Toledo followed the
example of Chicago In curtaillng
tradlngs In futures In July and Sep
TENDER wheat.
The conference was called TO ward
off complete government control of the
grain trade and to make action against
grain speculation uniform In all the
great centers.
j. c. +. Merrill, secretary OF the
board of trade, outlined the purpose
Of the conference by saying:
IF 1t should be necessary to close
one pit, or all pits but one, 1t would
be disastrous to have the exchange in
one city operating, especially If buy
ing were taking place. Fluctuations
would be MOI wild than ever. The
single open market would be glutted
with foreign buyers"
All steps taken by the boards are
expected to be submitted to Washing
| ton.
Following is summary of the an
nouneements made after an early
meeting Of the delegates, and other de-
velopments of the day;
/. All trading in future deliveries
of wheat including July and Septem-
Der, was forbidden for two days.

maximum price for July wheat at S2.75
and for September at $2.45. May flu
lures have been similarly controlled.
3. All transactions In indemnlties on
May corn, May oats and all deliveries
of wheat expiring on May Ia were de-
clared null and void. Buyers were or
dered to refund to sellers the purchase
price of the indemnitles. All trading
In indemnities in wheat was dlscon-
tinued temporarily.
4. Prices of contract grades OF corn
and oats for May delivery, In Chicago
were set at $1.61A II bushel and the
true commercial value Of oats for May
delivery in Chicago was determined
at 1914 cents.
5. Machinery for the adjustment of
these deals, usually conducted In the
open market was set in motion by a
special committee composed of w. ii.
Perrine, G. r.. Marcy and Mr.. Merrill.
Hurried dealing continued on the
floor. July wheat closed at $3.50. Sep
TENDER wheat dropped Is cents.
The shorts suffered heavily. Thou
sands of bushels were poured into the
pit. But every move had the effect
opposite to what was contemplated.
In other cities frenzled conditions
prevailed.

OF Garrison.

Petrograd (vla London), May b.
General Guchkofr, minister of war, has
resigned.
The resignation of General Ouch
koff follows that of General Kornlloff,
commander of the Petrograd garrison,
and supposedly is due to similar rea-
sons. General Kornlloff said his posi-
ton had become impossible because
OF the efforts Of various organizations
TO control the garrison.
The last straw which led to the res

all his orders be presented to the coin
