Translated into terms Of Ameri-
can currency, the Russian rublc is
now worth but little more than one
half Of its normal gold value. The
latest decline in the rate on Petro-
grad has carried the quotation for
the Russian unit in this market to
25.50 cents. This compares with
normal exchange value of 5l.20 cents
and puts the ruble at the greatest
discount shown by any of the i'm
portant exchanges since the war be-
gan. The current weakness i'm the
Petrograd rate is due to a combina-
ton of circumstances, chiefly. Of
course, the fact that the position Of
Russian credit I'm the worlds mar
kets has been rendered extremely
uncertain by developments now
taking place in the internal govern
ment Of Russia. For the last week
the exchange market has been de
pressed by ugly rumors regarding
Russian affairs, and this has acted
as check OF purchases Of ruble cx-
change. In the mean time, sales
against exports to Russia have con
tinued steadily in such volume as TO
force the rate off sharply.
The fact that Russia has so far
not been given financial assistance
by the United States government
has also been an important adverse
influence it had been hoped that
Russia would participate at an early
date in the credits granted the mem
bers of the Entente boy the American
government. The fresh decline in
rublcs has given rise 20 various re-
ports as TO the future course of this
exchange. IL has been even init
mated that the Russian government
might find II convenient to scale
down the par value Of the ruble. This
would mean. Of course. nothing more
or less than a partial reputation Of
Russias outstanding obligations con-
tracted with the rublt on a value Of
5i.2O cents. An eminent foreign

The German newspaper "Nossische

traordlnary increase in the supply of

raw materials allotted to the margar-
inc factories. The increase in the al
lotments to the margarine factories
will amount to about 33 l-3 per cent.
Consequently it will be possible TO in
crease the fat ratons by about 80
ounces. and it is a particularly vel
come fact that this raising of the ra-

Trading Stopped
In May Wheat as
Patriotic Move
President Of Chicago Board
Explains Action; Other
Futures Not Affected
1875 Telegraph 70 Tho Tribune =


Chicago, May 1.-THE closing ~
trading in May wheat by the Chicago
Board Of Trade to-day did not affect
the other futures. which will still be
open to trading. In explanation Of the
boards action President Griffin issued
the following signed statement to-
night:
AT a special meeting of the board
of directors Of the Chicago Board OF
Trade. held to-day. it was decided to
discontinue trading in May wheat. 1t
was further Determined that all existing
contracts should be adjudcated either
By delivery Of the property or at a
settling price to be determined by n
special committee 10 be appointed ~
the President and to be approved py
the board Of directors at a special
meeting TO be held tomorrow.
This action is without precedent IN
the history of this exchange although
other exchanges in this country
Canada and Europe have in the past
taken similar action.
"The board Of directors we're prompt
cd in reaching their conclusions ~
what they deemed to be their pstri-
otto duty to the country in this hour
of national stress.
at must be understood that the
Board of Trade is neither a buyer nor
a seller; it is merely market place
the greatest market place on EARTH
where meet daily the millions OF
producers and consumers throughout
this country in fact, throughout the
world.
81 should like to emphasize that
speculation has nothing whatever TO
do with the action OF the directors to-
day. nor is speculation in any sense
responsible for the high prices pre-
yailing for MAY wheat or the cash
article. Generally speaking. the specu-
lator is not interested in May wheat
his operations being confined to the
future. II may safely be stated that
practically lNc eUNlIe INTEREST ~ ''o'
wheat is restricted 70 farmers, grain
dealers. millers and foreign govern
ments.
"The recent hysteria over the food
situation has caused a stampede OF
consumers in every direction and while
it is regrettable, it is nevertheless
fact, that even the leading govern
ments Of Europe seem to have become
fearful as to their future require
ments.
THE largest buyers of wheat for
present and future delivery at this
time in the Chicago market are the
governments of Europe, not specu-
lators.
I'VE are but market place and so
long as there is no restriction. such
as has been adopted to-day, there is no
limit to the amount of wheat these
governments might purchase. There
fore, the action OF the board of dlrec-
tors does not interfere with the free
dom of contract on the part Of either
the individual or governments. but
compels those requiring wheat for I'M
mediate consumption TO make pur-
chases from farmers and grain dealers,
rather than through the medium Of a
contract for future delivery on the
floor of our exchange"
