ASKS CONGRESS
TO STOP GRAIN
SPECULATION
Trade Commission Says Much
Future Trading Mere
Gambling.
WHEAT DROP REVIEWED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-A large vol
ume" of future trading in futures is mere
gambling involving great economic waste
and should be stopped by congressional
regulation the Federal Trade Commission
wrote President Wilson today. The COM
mission constituted its report in reply to
the Presidents request for a study Of
the causes of falling wheat prices. The
commission advised the President he has
no power to prevent importation of for
eign wheat as demanded by farmers hit
by falling prices.
It was recommended that Government
selling machinery be set up to deal with
centralized wheat buying agencies now
maintained in the United States by for
eign governments to protect the American
farmer against possible price manlpuia-
ton by these agencies. Seven factors
combined to reduce wheat prices in the
United States, the commission said.
REASONS GIVEN FOR
WHEAT PRICE DROP.
These factors were given as:
1. A world wheat crop bigger than in
1919;
,. Concentration Of foreign government
! buying in one commission which bought
heavily in the spring, but later reduced
its demands;
8: Unprecedented importations from
Canada this fall coupled with a discount
rate Of exchange;
4. The record breaking yield Of corn
and oats which helped to depress wheat
prices;
.. sIackening of the domestic demand
for -four this fall;
g. General decline OF all commodity
! prices, and,
7. Change in credit conditions. with
the resulting disposition of distributors
to refrain from accumulating or main
tanning usual stocks until conditions are
stabilized"
Wheat has declined in price less than
many commodities, the commission
wrote, and less than most agricultural
/ products on the basis Of wholesale prices.
/ WHOLE SUBJECT
/ NOT PASSED ON.
/ The decline in prices would appear to
be In part due to country wide and
world wide conditions. While the com
mission believes speculation in wheat fu-
/ lures IS not an indisputable part Of the
marketing process and may some times
( be highly injurious. the commission is
not in this respect passing on the whole
/ subject OF future trading
Future contracts may have a legitimate
use for hedging" In this connection,
/ 1t is claimed that future trading per-
( forms an insurance function where or
binary insurance methods would not be
/ practicable and that undue restriction
[ OF future trading such as would deprive
the grain trade Of this service, might re-
/ suit in grain dealers requiring larger
margins and consequently result either
in lower prices to the farmer or higher
: prices TO the consumer. without now
expressing an opinion on this subject, 1t
appears that there is a large volume OF
future trading that is mere gambling
and involves great economic waste. The
remedy for this lies in congressional ac-
+ tion to prevent trading which is essenu-
ally gambling
