BUTTER AND EGGS
EXCHANGE IS BOON
Futures Trading in Products
of Dairy and Hennery Aid

NEW YORK. April 24.-"Organiza-
ton OF an exchange method and fu-
lures market for butter and eggs came
later than In other agricultural COM
modities," Charles j. Eldredge. presi-
dent of the Chicago Mercantile Ex-
change. explains. but the need for
such q market was so apparent that
once started, its growth was phenom-
enally rapid,
"Since 1919, when the exchange was
established. trade has steadily increased
until In 1927 clearings exceeded $400,-
100000. Transactions last year ac-
counted for more than 5000, 600. 900 eggs
and more than 600.000,000 pounds of
butter"
Future trading inS butter and eggs is
even more essential than in grains, ac-
cordjng to Mr. Eldredge. This is true,
he states, because butter and eggs are
both seasonable and perishable COM
modities, and although refrigeration
makes It possible to carry stocks from
the periods OF flush production until
marketing becomes profitable in slack
productive season, goods cannot be held
indefinitely.
Exchange Great Boon.
From the standpoint of the producers
the farmers who specialize in dairy and
poultry products. as we'll as those TO
whom eggs and butter are sidelines,
the exchange method of trading has
been a great boon. Mr.. Eldredge main-
tainS.
Before the era of the mercantile
exchange. farmers were at the mercy
of the local buyers" he said. They
tn laa nf n their
locality, having no way of knowing
what market conditions were In other
producing territories or in distributive
centers. The exchange has established
fundamental market, on the basis OF
which country paying prices now are
regulated and reports are Immediately
disseminated by wire and radio.
THE shipper benefits in the reduced
cost of marketing and from the aboli-
ton of many abuses of the past. ANY
one. anywhere, can now market butter
or eggs for a definitely known cost.
which is fraction of what 1t was
prior to the organization OF the ex-
change.
Merchandising Simpliiied.
Future trading has greatly SIMPLE
fed the merchandising of butter ana
eggs This applies not only to the hedg-
ing facilities, but also to the financing
of reserve stocks Storage holdings at
the peak average $50 100000 dozen eggs
and l60.000.000 pounds of butter,
worth in the aggregate more than
$3.50. 100000. Because of the existence
of the futures market, the financing OF
storage stocks has become a banking
proposition. Bankers now are taking
warehouse receipts as collateral for
butter and eggs as willingly as they
take stocks and bonds.
Thus 1t has become possible al
ways to store amounts adequate TO meet
consumptive needs. 1t has resulted in
relieving the pressure of Surpluses in
Fall and Winter. The consumer and
producer benefit by reason Of steadier

B. & O. TRAFFIC DROPS.
Decline In March Forecasts Anoth-
er Drop in Roads Earnings.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 24.--The drop Of
more than 16 per cent in cars Of revenue
freight handled by the Baltimore e.
Ohio Railroad in March forecasts
another month OF poor earnings. The
statement of operating results will be
issued this week.
The poor showing last month is due
almost entirely to the depression in the
coal industry. upon which the Baltimore
6c Ohio depends for nearly half of Its
tonnage, and which yields about a
quarter of It's gross revenues. Net earn
ings of this big carrier for the first two
months of the current year showed q
comparative loss Of $1,722,l10, or 81
per cent.
The April showing should make n
much better comparison with a year
ago. since the rush of coal abroad due
to the strike Of British miners ended in
April, 1927.
