APPEAL IN GRAIN CASE IS
 INTERESTING TO FARMERS

CHICAGO. Feb. 5.--Appeal has been taken by the State of Kansas in an equity suit of widespread inn portance involving the validity of transactions in contracts for grain for future delivery. according to in formation received here.
 The appeal is from the decision of Judge w c. Fairchild in the Reno county district court at Hutchinson, tions in contracts for future delivery of grain under the practice of legiti- mate grain exchanges is valid. This includes the practice of offsetting contracts prior to delivery date The Kansas statute under which suit was brought, prohibits transactions in fu- lures, which there is no intent to make bona-fide delivery. Judge Fair child refused to grant an injunction holding there had been no law viola ton in the conduct of the offices in volyed
 According to John R. Mauff. sec retary of the Chicago Board of Trade. widespread attempts have been made in the last three years at Washing ton and at the capitals of the great grain states, to place similar legisla- ticn on the statute books.
 For several years." said Mir. Mauff. grain farmers all over the country have been inSistently told by those who would exploit them, that trad ing in futures was gambling, pure and simple, and the farmer was robbed in consequence. The result of the appeal from Judge Fairchild's decision will be watched with in tense interest by farmers, grain deal CTS and politicians
 The defendants in the suit at Hutchinson were the J. Sosenzaum Grain Company of Chicago, and four other grain companies with private wires into branches in Kansas. The suit sought to oust the private wires from the state
 Several state witnesses testified that they had made transactions in grain futures through the grain com pahieo uuu lHdl lHeSe Qeais were closed by offsets prior to delivery date. Cross examination by counsel for the defendants, elicited that all of these transactions, had they not been closed previously. would have result ed in the delivery of actual grain. In each case it was esta blished, where May wheat, for instance, had been purchased, it was offset by a coun- ter-sale prior to May l. the delivery date.
 The court stated that these trans actions closed by set-off or through the clearing house did not evidence an intent 10 settle on differences within the meaning of the Kansas statute. The original purchase was the purchase of a contract for de. livery of wheat May l. The sale prior to that date was of this con tract. It was legitimate transac. ton, according to Judge Fairehild.
 Judge Fairchild in denying to grant an injunction, reserved deci- sion as to whether his court had Jurisdiction to hear the case. At torneys for the grain companies ar sued the hearing should be before a Federal court because of the inter. state nature of the transactions.
