CHICAGO, July 2l.-Trading was
suspended today on the Chicago
Board of Trade, the worlds greatest
grain market.
Directors of the exchange, meet
ing far into the night after the
worst price depressing session in its
history, voted to close today. They
explained their action was necessary
TO afford brief holiday TO over
worked employees"
But it was considered gravely sig
nificant that the order climaxed
two days sessions when wheat
plunged 80 cents bushel. and 9TH
er grains broke correSpondingly.
A few hours before issuing the
closing order. directors had voted
that, for an indefinite period. trad
ing in wheat and rye will be re-
stricted to range of cents from
the previous days close. Corn and
barley will be limited to a scent
range and oats to 4 cents.
aueCts Oniy FUTURES
The closing order today affected
only futures trading in grain and
provisions. Cash grain and cotton
will be traded as usual.
The closing and price limitation
orders followed one of the widest
trading sessions in history. Volume
Thursday was expected to exceed
100000 bushels. the greatest
since the crash of 1929 and hectic
wartime sales.
Wheat prices crashed so rapidly
that at one time September wheat
was selling for "a cents on one side
of the pit and 95 cents on the other.
Long Interests Blamed
The uproar and pandemonium
sent actual trading far ahead of
recorded sales. Wheat dropped as
much as fun cent on single trans
actions. Crowded with stop-loss
orders. traders shouted. pushed, and
fought their way about AT the end
of the day they were utterly ex-
hausted.
Excessive long interests were
blamed for the plunge. The dizzy
operations started as huge sell or
ders flooded the pit. Short interests
temporarily stemmed the avalanche,
but with new buyers hesitant to en-
ter the market, the bottom fell out
