1T Is interesting to note that the
amount Of money needed 10 meet un-
employment conditions which now ex-
ist in the District of Columbia over

HYDE WAVES BAN
ON GRAIN FUTURES
Secretary Hopes for Price
Betterment in Modifying
Reports Rule.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 22.-Secretary of
Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde today an
nounced that he had ordered the waiv-
ing by the Grain Futures Administra-
tion Of certain requirements for the
reporting of the long and short posi-
tion Of large individual exchange trad
ing accounts. The order was issued, he
said, upon the action of the Chicago
Beard Of Trades directorate in under
taking to prevent harmful short SELL
ingr
His statement. issued after a con-
ference here, follows:
1t has long been the contention of
the grain exchanges and of the grain
dealers that the regulations of the
Grain Futures Administration, reuuir-
ing reports of trades in excess of 5OO.-
600 bushels by individual traders, have
resulted in narrowing the market and
lowering the prices Of grains.
Better Prices Expected.
while there can be no absolute as
surance that modification will re-
suit in Immediately higher prices there
markets will finally result in better
prices to the farmers =
Il am persuaded to test the truth of
such views, and have directed that on
and after Monday, October "a, 1882.
the requirement that the long and
short position of individual accounts be
waived. This modification is conditioned
on the fact that the Chicago Board of
Trade has, by resolution of its board
CT directors, undertaken to prevent
harmful short selling 3"
Opposition to Rule.
Board Of Trade members have COM
planned against the rule that all open
trades Of 100000 bushels or more of
wheat corn or oats and 100000 bushels
Of rye must be reported to the Grain
Futures Administration.
The board. through its directorate.
offered to have its clearing house han
die the reports instead of the Grain
Futures Administration Such a method
of handling the reports, the board de-
clared, would save probably 100000
yearly.

They have never hurt me. 1t was a
long time before even knew which way

cared. In 1900, before the Republican
