proximity to the pits.
We will suppose that commission
house with Offices in nearby building

of July wheat" by which is meant wheat

even though the order is executed in

special haste is required-and 1t nearly
always is-the messenger flashes the

Had the trading begun? Had the
gong struck? Landry never knew, never
so much as heard the clang of the great
bell. All at once he was fighting; all at
once he was caught, as it were, from all
the stable earth, and flung headlong into
the heart and center Of the Pit What
he did he could not say; what went on
about him he could not distinguish. He
only knew that roar was succeeding roar,
that there was crashing through his ears,
through his very brain the combined bel
low of hundred Niagaras.
Hands clutched and tore at him, his
own tore and clutched in turn. The Pit

seconds and the greatest number Of quo
tations ever transmitted in this manner
was on August IA, 1914. when an average
of AZ 2-9 per minute was maintained for
102 consecutive minutes.
The purpose of the chronographs used
in stamping the slips of paper on which
prices are written by the pit reporter
is to make a permanent record of the
price of wheat or any other grain at
any given moment during the day.
The chronographs are electrically op-

the vague thunder that since early morn

"In the Pit the bids leaped to and fro,
though the time of opening had not yet
come; the very planks under foot seemed
spinning about in the first huge warning
swirl OF the Pits centripetal convulsion
There was dizziness in the air. Some
thing, some infinite, immeasurable power
onrushing in its eternal courses, shook
the Pit In it's grasp. Something deaf

to the East--to the bakeshops and hun
cry mouths OF Europe"
Is the Pit" quite as terrible as that?
Not often probably but it is always ex-
citing. We will now hear the plain facts.
Let us follow a single quotation sent
out from the Board of Trade. To begin
with, all commission houses doing busi-
ness on the exchange have representa-
tives or brokers in the various pits
one each for wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley and provisions. Prior to the open
ing of session, which begins at A. M.
and closes at LIS P. M, except on Satur-
days, when the close is at noon, the
brokers and Individual traders assemble
in the pits awaiting the gong which an.
nounces the opening of the market.
The brokers may have any number of
orders to buy and sell. These orders are
written on memorandum sheets, showing
the kind of grain to be bought or sold,
the number of bushels and the price to
be paid or received-if such prices are
available. During the trading hours
many new orders may come in by tele-
graph or telephone. To meet the demands
of the latter each commission house has
one or more telephone operators on the

that support long thought to be secure

Tut by horrible collapses and equally hor-
rlble upward leaps. Now it held, now it
broke, now it reformed again, rose again.
then again in hideous cataclysms fell
from beneath their feet to lower depths
than before.
"The official reporter leaned back in
his place, helpless. On the wall over
lead the indicator on the dial was rock
ing back and forth, like the mast of a
ship caught in monsoon. The price of
July wheat no man could so much as ap-
proximate. The fluctuations we're no
longer by fractions Of a cent but by 10
cents, Is cents, 25 cents at a time. On
one side of the Pit wheat sold at 80
cents, on the other at s1.25.
"And all the while above the din upon
upon the floor, above the tramplings and
the shoutings in the Pit there seemed
to thrill and swell that appalling roar
OF the wheat itself coming in, coming on
like a tidal wave, bursting through, dash
ing barriers aside, rolling like measure
less, almighty river from the farms of
Iowa and the ranches of California, on

sell at that price The seller signifies his
acceptance Of the trade by a fierce nod.
The price at which the transaction was
completed is noted by trained observer,
or pit reporter, who has been compared to
an animal keeper, on raised platform
at one edge of the pit. Here is where the
transmission of the quotation over the
wire starts.
The pit reporter quickly writes the
price on a slip Of paper and fiips 1t to the
man at his side. The second man stamps
the paper by means Of chronograph,
which automatically impresses upon 1t
the day of the month, the hour, the min
ute and second, and passes 1t to third
man on another platform just above and
behind him.
The third man stamps the paper with
another chronograph and hands 1t to a
telegraph operator seated beside him.
The latter, operating master key" I'M
mediately transmits the quotation by
Morse code to the Office of the ticker
company, where a telegrapher receives 1t
through the medium of a telegraph
sounder and transmits it directly on the
keyboard of the ticker, thereby reproduc-
ing the quotation instantly on thousand
tickers throughout Chicago.
Through the medium of a master cir
cult" connected with the master key"
already referred to, which governs six
automatic repeaters and to which are at
tached wires covering the entire United
States and Canada, the quotation Is also
received simultaneously by
all points in these two coun-
tries which subscribe to the

Yet familiar as Is the sight of x4
the ticker with its continuous ~
stream of letters and figures on ZH&4
an unbroken line of narrow pa Nh
per tape, and as simple as the
process of ticking them off ap-
pears, it is in reality complex
and ingenious system with which
few even in the grain trade are
at all acquainted
Minute after minute during the trad
ing hours OF each day prices of grain rise
and fall. One instant wheat, for example,
may sell at, say, $1.25 bushel, the next
at $1.25h. the next at $1.25A, or posi-
bly, back to $1.25, or it may sell at frac-
tions below $1.25-s1.24%, q, 4s, and so

eighth of a cent or multiple of one
eighth. The total range of prices from
low to high during given day is de-
termined by many factors. Thus In
quiet or settled market, with only a nor
NAL amount of trading, this range may
amount to one cent.
II news and existing conditions are
bullish, such as unfavorable weather or
insect ravages to growing crop, coupled
with scarcity of the grain on hand and
a large demand, there may be sufficient
buying to force prices up several cents
in a single day. On thee other hand, If
bearish conditions prevail, such as an
unusually large crop and small demand,
predominance of selling orders may
send the price down several cents in one
day.
1t should be borne in mind that condi-
