Specializing
Will Be Curtailed

Chicago, Aug. 10.-R-Reports cur
rent that there Is likelihood Of new
federal interference with foreign spec
ulative grain dealings here were gen.
rally secuted today on the board of
trade. Officials Of the board declined
to be quoted but leading members of
the board were outspoken.
j. F. jackson, q well known grain
trader and connected with one Of the
largest grain houses here said:
II doubt very much that this gov
eminent will stop foreigners from
using our grain pits for hedging pur-
poses. Their hedging is not nearly
as large in selling as it is in buying,
when they do put on q hedge sale
it means a potential buyer later, for
they make nc deliveries owing to our
tariff. On the buying side they play
an important part in helping prices
especially while crops are in the
making, buying futures so that their
millers can sell flour ahead, and many
times taking liberal quantities on de-
livery.
1T is true also that a great deal Of
business goes to Winnipeg from
abroad that used to come here owing
to the tax on our grain traders and
to restrictions, the removal of which
would materially increase our busi-
ness"
