KANSAS SENATOR WILL INTRO.
DUcE BILL IN CONGRESS TO
END "WHEAT PIRACY"
NO OPTION MARKET FOR
CASH GRAIN REQUIRED
War Has Proved This, Says Senator
Capper-Beef Products and Other
Big Lines Handled Without Trad
ing in Futures-Time to Protect
Producer and Consumer.

Washington, Aug. 19.--Congres-
sional action to prevent option trad
ing in wheat will be sought bf Sem
ator Arthur Capper, of Kansas,
when congress meets In December.
The Kansas senator in a strong
statement condemns the tactics Of
the Chicago wheat traders In de-
pressing the price Of wheat as soon
as optional trading was restored and
characteriZes the bear raid on the
wheat market as Infamous piracy"
He charges that the prices of wheat
have wantonly been depressed from
AZ to 81 cents q bushel.
IT doubt II anything can be done
now to stop this piracy in the wheat
pitt. says Senator Capper when
congress meets it's first business
should be to put an end to this ruin
Gus, form of gambling and to pro-
vide a system for advancing money
to wheat farmers on elevator GER
tificates after the manner that the
cotton farmers are financed in the
south thru loans on warehouse re-
ceipts.
when food spectators notorious
ly corner or exploit supplies for a
rise, borrowing funds from banks to
carry out this speculative business,
producers are entitled to credit ac-
Communications to hold their products
a reasonable time to avoid conges-
ton of markets and Illustrate sys-
tematic food gambling. The specula-
tors both in wheat and cotton know
when farmers must sell and they,
take advantage OF 1t to rob them
annually Of their just and hard
earned dues by running down prices
before the market gets The crop,
then running them up to the con-
sumner.
1.-THE war has proved that we do
not require an option market to
handle cash grain. We also know
that the hay crop. beef products and
other lines OF as great magnitude
as the grain business are handled
without any trading in futures. I
believe that the time has come to
enact legislature ITO eliminate option
trading and put an end to this enor-
nous and systematic robbery Of pro-
Queer and consumer"

Chicago. Aug. 19-There was a
lack Of pressure at the start Of the
wheat market today, which caused
initial prices to be firm. First quo
tations We're. unchanged to Il cent
higher, with December at $2.38 to
$2s91s and March at $2.41. Houses
with eastern connections We're in
the market early but when corn
started downward there was free
selling by local traders, causing
prices to take sharp dip, which
caused commission houses to buy on
resting orders. They soon absorbed
the surplus in the pit and rally set
in and firmed the market.
Later houses with seaboard con-
nections became good buyers of
wheat futures, presumably with the
idea of exchanging them for cash
grain to fill old sales abroad. and the
market closed weak, with prices Ia
to 2h cents net lower. December be-
ing $2.37 and March $2.39.
Corn.
Corn was under PRESSURE at the
start due to rains in parts of Ne
braska. Missouri. Iowa and Kansas,
where they will be highly beneficial,
September led the futures in the
slump, dropping Is to rs cents,
which was the range, with Septem-
Der at $1.44 to s1.44h and December
1922 to $1.22A. The trading was
rather light, sentiment being gen.
orally bearish, With support lacking
on the way down. The break was
checked, however, as result OF
some scattered buying.
Pressure increased in corn and the
market became very bearish, the un-
certainty regarding general business

Chicago. Aug. 19.-Wheat-W
out support from exporters, wheat
was easy and lost about cents from
yesterdays close. Reports from
Kansas were bearish, but the move
ment to this market continues very
disappointing. Conditions are having
a bearlsh effect and more speculative
selling is noticed whenever the mar
ket is strong.
Corn-The market continued It's
downward course of late yesterday
and closed weak, with the near by
month under the greatest pressure.
me prospect OF scattered showers
ana the expectation OF increased re-
celpts We're the bearish factors.
Oats-Oats We're heavy with other
grains and fairly liberal receipts.
Ihreshing' is general and the yield is
exceeding previous estimates. Tho
effect of increased receipts is Xix =
to be felt during the next few week..
Provisions-Weakne in hogs ana
the weakness in grains caused
liquidation. Packers have little dis
position to support the market.
