CONTENDS SPECULATION IN
 GRAIN IS A NECESSITY

Washington, Jan. 1i.-Existence of fu- ture markets for speculation is a neces- sity in the grain trade, the house agri- cultural committee was told today by representatives of the Chicago board of trade, who appeared in opposition to leg islation proposing regulation of the ex- changes.
 Exchanges cannot function without speculation" declared Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago Board of Trade. "All commodity prices inevitably fuctu- ate unless monopolized."
 Hedging" he declared, helped the public by narrowing the dealers profit, thus increasing the price paid to the producer and decreasing the cost to the consumer.
 Prices for wheat are fixed by the laws of supply and demand, James F. Boyle professor of agricultural economies al Cornell University, testified. Prices for grain on the Chicago Board of Trade, ir a general way reflect the supply and de mand factors and meet the correct mar ket test" He sad. adding that boti l factors vary from day to day and ac count for market fluctuations. i Preachers. lawyers, doctors and far mers and other men of moderate meanl constitute a large percentage of the spec ulators, Professor Boyle said, addinl | that their elimination would be a "ca lamity' to the country.
 Lots of people don't believe in specu lation unless they are doing it," he as serted.
