CHICAGO, May 15.-Grain review:
SO long as trading was unrestricted
and the public was officially warned
OF food shortage and urged to re-
double productive efforts, prices were
advancing rapidly. This was due to
an almost historical accumulation on
the part of consumers. and to the
holding back OF supplies by those
who had them in possession. Since
maximum prices have been fixed and
trading restricted there has been a
gradual lowering of prices as would
naturally occur The market today
continued on its downward trend,
and announcement was made at the
| close that maximum prices of the
last two days will be continued until
further notice. Those most affected
by, limited trading in futures are the
producers and it is from them that
we may expect first to hear demands
for return 20 an open and unre-
stricted market The unfortunate
part of the present situation is the
entire ignorance, and consequent lack
| OF appreciation, of the function and
value of our great grain exchanges,
which have contributed such an inn
portant part to our national growth
and prosperity.
