crop diversification in the North
west would tend TO limit the ad-
verse effects on the wheat slump.
The new public passion for spec
ulation encourages promoters to
search for additional commodities
that lend themselves to new ex-
changes. New York has seven
commodity exchanges, and the or
ganization of three others Is under
way. Where commodities lend
themselves to organized market
ing the creation OF such exchanges
may be regarded as a sign of eco
nomic maturity and sophistication.
There has been extraordinary re-
sistance from within the trade to
attempts to organize the New York
Rurlap and Jute Exchange. r. M.
Gallie, a burlap, broker, who was
chosen to speak for the trader,
writes: TN your recent article
on commodity exchanges you
stated some indisputable facts.
No one can argue that some ex-
changes are not beneficial. But
because one exchange is sound it,
does not follow that all are.
"Unlike such raw material. as
cotton, burlap does not come to
market seasonalIy. No market
glut appears, nor Is there any
one to protect by a combined
public opinion on prices over a
years range. This is a manu-
factured article made largely by
a controlled British monopoly. A
mere handful of people trade in
it here-less than one hundred.
1t would be hard in this country
to create a public opinion on
the price Of ugly gunny sacking.

 Later, carried into the apart ment of Lou, shoplifter, by the taxi-driver, she is revived by "Kio Gloves" Smith, hijacker, who has been the instigator of the scrar on the highway.
