NOT FORBIDDEN
Trading in Cotton Seed Oil Futures to
Continue

New York, Oct. 3.-Edward Flash.
Jr., vice president of the New York
Produce Exchange. said today that the
published report that speculative trad
ing in cotton seed oil futures on the ex-
change had been forbidden was untrue.
He explained that the report was due
to the misconstruction of letter he
sent to the trade.
MY letter to the trade" he said,
was merely a warning against excess
sive outside speculation and a plea that
business be confined so far AS posi-
BILE to interests directly identified with
the cotton seed oil trade. There is no
talk whatever of closing the market,
which furnishes the only hedging ia
ciiities in the country"
