CHICAGO. May 6--Juiius II.
Barnes. national wheat administrator,
said in an address today to members
Of the Chicago hoard Of trade, that
the act establishing the food admin
istrstion gave authority to control
trading in foods,uff, on exchanges to
the extent OF prohibiting futures trad
ing altogether. He said the act was
still in effect and that his duty was
imperative il demonstrated abuse
should arise.
Mr.. Barnes questioned frankly
whether q fluctuat,on In corn prices
such as took place in Chicago yes
terday--a rapid break Of 10 or u
cents, followed by 4 quick reaction
OF s or 8 cents--was not a clear
indication Of speculation on so large
. scale that II was over-balancing
legitimate functions.
A conference will be called May
IS At New York between represen-
tatives Of millers, bakers and grain
traders and others Al which eertxin
trade agreements will be entered into,
Mr. Barnes announced. He added
that II the prices Of flour did not
sharply reflect the real situation in
regard to supplies, the United States
must shortly return to the 1917 food
regulations which allowed only thirty
days supply to be held on hand. He
did not want to do this, however, he
