SPECULATION IN
GRAIN DEFENDED
BY N.Y.. BROKER
Livermore Says He Does
Not Think Operations Of
individuals influences the
Prices of Commodities.

New York, Oct. 6.--Jesse r. LiV-
ermore, stock and grain market
operator. appearing as witness
before the federal trade commits
sion investigating speculation in
the grain market, declared today
that he had never known of any
manipulation" in the commodity
markets and stated that he did not
think the operations of any lndl-
viduals influenced market prices of
commodities.
He declared that the grain mar
ket was an institution beneficial
both to the farmers and to the con-
sumers, stating that a market for
futures was necessary to allow
farmers to dispose of their prod
ucts. Hut for the market, ne
stated, three or four large eleVa-
tor corporations would control
grain prices at their will.

Livermore said;
"My operations in the grain mar

by judging by similar events In
the past and by studying the pres

time a speculative investor makes
money Is when he forecasts the
future correctly, when he sees
nrobable future conditions and
Judges future prices"
Mr.. Livermore defined a specu-
lattice investor as a man VINO
sizes up" future conditions and
who trades on the basis of his con
clusions. He declared that botn
speculator and gambler, who TOOK
short flying chances, were stapll-
iZers of the market.
"Short buyers" Mr.. bivermore
declared, "were the saviors OF the
market at critical moments When
