BEST FOR FARMER THEY co TO WORK
Board of Trade Defended Be-
fore e. S. Commission.
Provides q Sure Market, De-
cIares j. Ogden Armour.

Chicago, Oct. 12.@J. ogden Armour,
packer, and George F. Marcy, presi-
dent of the Armour Grain company,
principal witnesses yesterday before
the federal trade commission in its
inquiry of trading in grain futures,
were in conference with attorneys to-
day to determine to what extent they
will reveal details of their grain trans
actions when they appear before the
commission again tomorrow.
Declining yesterday to disclose the
intimate details of their speculations,
Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy agreed to
tell the commission tomorrow whether
they would furnish all the dates and
figures of their trades requested by
the federal inquiry board.
Both Mr. armour and Mr.. Marcy
defended the board of trade as a near
medium thru which the farmer finds d
sure and constant market for his
grain.
Can Sell at Any Time.
1.-The farmer has a place to sell his
grain every day in the year" Mr.. Ar
mour said. He may not at times get
the price he is entitled to, but I think
it has stabilized conditions. General
ly speaking, he is better off. would
say, than without a speculative future
market, because no man in the grain
business would buy wheat until he
has sold it, and you know that some
times you have to carry wheat long
time before you can sell it,"
John r. Mauff, secretary of the Chi
cago board of trade, told the commits
sion that the Capper-Tincher act,
which the board plans to attack be-
fore the United States supreme court,
is driving trading in futures to Win
nipeg and Liverpool.
