WHEAT PIT SEEN
 AS BUSY MARKET
Looks Like Forest Of Wig
 Wag8iDg Arms

Chicago, Aug. Pl-To see the Roman salute given in all its classic perfection, visit the Chicago Board Of Trade. On an exciting day, the crowds of brokers in the wheat pit really outdo the Fascist.
 Especially of late with wheat prices whirling wildly, tourists in Chicago seem never to tire of the picturesque spectacle Of a forest of waving arms thrust skyward on change.
 Gestures Mean Millions
 The life-and-death earnestness Of the action appears all the more fas- cinating because Of strange accom- panying gestures. Their significance is rarely understood by outsiders. out every detail is full of meaning -an indispensable deaf-and-dumb language of the grain trade.
 The whole bizarre pantomine- however much 1t may resemble a salute to Mussolini-is demonstrat- ed by experience to be the best method yet devised for transacting like a flash business that runs daily far up into millions of bushels.
 The eager oblique upward stretch of the right arm of each of the null titude of brokers standing tip-toe in the trading-pit. signifies not merely that he is striving 10 buy or sell, but also expresses in exact form the de- finite amount and the actual intend ed price. Where everybody is shout ing. even the best lungs have their limit, and something more is need ed.
 Whole Hand, 25,000 Bushels
 The device is simplicity itself-a sign manual in which the whole hand displayed vertically means 25,- GOO bushels, each finger counting as 5000 bushels. Price in even cents is indicated by the clenched fist, held horizontally. Each horizontal finger separately extended represents an added eight of cent up to five eighths. The extended hand entirely with the fingers horizontal but close together means quarters. and the thumb raised separately is a sig nal for seven-eighth., Whether the grain is offered or being bid for is shown by a slight motion of the hand to or from the trader himself.
 Grotesque as the system may look. the signaling not only closes con- tracts Involving millions but also in- stantly enables the official reporters every moment to note at a glance the actual price of grain-the price transmitted from Chicago to all the markets of the world.
