PUTS LIMIT
ON CORN TRADING
No Person Can Have Open Trades for
More Than 100000 Bushels-Too
Much Speculation.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Julius H.
Barnes, federal wheat director, late yes
terday formally notified l.. F. Gates,
president of the Chicago board of trade
that the exchange should reinstate the
rule limiting the amount of open trades
in corn for any one interest or individ
ual to 100000 bushels, His suggestion
was designed to prevent undue specula
ton.
If the board complies with this sug-
gestion Mr.. Barnes will "feel JUST
fed in cabling Herbert Hoover, diree-
tor general of the food administration,
that further regulation 'may not be
necessary" he said.
Mr.. Gates has replied that the wheat
directors suggestion will be placed
before the board of trade s executive
officers Immediately, adding that he has
''no doubt that the outcome win be
satisfactory.
