CHICAGO GRAIN
MART CLOSED
Trading Suspended Following
Wild Orgy OF Speculative
Selling Yesterday.
BY HAROLD L. RAINVILLE
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, July 21.-Trading ON
the Chicago board of trade, the
worlds greatest grain market, was
suspended today. Directors meeting
far into the night after the worst
price depressing session in its his
tory, voteo 10 close for the day
They explained the action was
necessary to afford brief holi-
day to overworked employees" but
it was considered gravely signifi-
cant that the order climaxed two
sessions at which wheat plunged 80
cents a bushel and other grains
broke correspondingly.
A few hours before issuing the
closing order, directors voted that
for an indefinite period trading in
wheat and rye would be restricted
to a range of eight cents from the
previous days close. Corn and bar
ley will be limited to a five cent
range and oats to four.
The closing order affected fut-
! ureS trading in grains and proviS-
ions. Cash grain and cotton will be
traded as usual.
The Kansas City board of trade
ordered trading suspended today
and imposed the same limitations,
after experiencing a day similar to
that in the Chicago pit, with an
extreme drop of 19 cents a bushel
in wheat
The closing and price limitation
orders followed one of the widest
trading sessions in exchange his
| tory. Volume yesterday was expect
ed to exceed 170,000,000 bushels, the
greatest since the crash in 1929 and
the hectic selling of war time.
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.
| Excessive long interests were
blamed for the plunge. The dizzy
operations started as huge selling
orders flooded the pit. Short inter-
ests temporarily stemmed the ava
lanche, but with new buyers heSi-
tant to enter the market, the bot
ON fell out. Pyramided holdings
were caught in the rush and dump
ed their entire lots into the mar
ket, many of them at severe losses.
The public caught in the Specu-
/ lative rush of several weeks ago
when wheat scared to dollar for
the first time in two years, suf-
fered heavily.

HULL OFFERS
TRUCE PLAN
BY FREDERICK KUH

LONDON, July 81. WP)-Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull presented
to the expiring world economic con-
ference today the draft of an in
ternational truce against restric-
tions of trade, supplementing the
so-called tariff truce"
A letter accompanying Hull's
proposal pointed out that although
the chief portion of its work is IN
complete, the conference is about
to enter a recess.
During and after the recess, it
is to be hoped The governments will
carry out the fundamental purpose
of the conference he said. .-..
Senator Key Pittman of Nevada
worked hard for an agreement TO
stabilize silver prices. The eight
silver producing and holding coun-
tries conferred for several hours in
his suite. They encountered diff
Guilty over the phraseology of the
agreements but hoped to reach a
complete accord tomorrow.
Hulls proposal, which would pro-
long as well as supplement The tar
iff agreement, was read at public
meeting OF the economic commits
sion in a small, sweltering commit
tee room by Hendrikus Collin Of
Holland.
Collin said he understood it was
not proposed to open discussion of
Hull's proposal and he therefore
suggested that it merely be attached
to the committees report.

BETTING WILL
BE PERMITTED
AT STATE FAIR

LONG BEACH, July 81. tU.Pj =
Pari-mutuel betting on running and
harness racing was assured state
fair visitors today after the board
of directors voted unanimously to
install betting machines at the fair
grounds in Sacramento.
Shattering a 28-year precedent,
directors appointed committee OF
four to decide whether the fair
management will operate the ma
chimes or whether contracts for
their operation will be awarded.
The committee consists of Albert
B. Lang and John M. Perry OF
Stockton; Charles H. Sooy of San
Francisco; and Fred H. Bixby of
Long Beach, at whose home the
meeting was held.
Expressing optimism that the
horse races would provide perhaps
the outstanding feature of the fall
show, directors revealed the largest
entry list in 20 years had been re-
ceived from owners who had anti
cipated the action. The new grand
stand at Sacramento, it was said,
was constructed with ample room
to accommodate pari-mutuel ma
chimes.
Breaking a tradition of long
standing, directors voted to elimin-
ate professional boxing this year in
favor of amateur bouts. They also
made plans to stage a bicycle race
which will have the sanction OF
the National Cycling association.
Entries will be winners of elimina-
ton contests to be held in various
cities.
The sports program also calls for
number of polo events.

BEVERLY HILLS, July 20.
(SpeciaD - The nearest thing
we have had to "non-kick" tax
so far has been the gasoline tax
because they knew the money
was going for roads. Now that
repeal is assured, they better
get in early and have it under
stood what the revenue will go
to, too.
What would be the matter
with using every cent just for
charity and unemployed relief,
and make the tax very high?
Even as high as so per cent If
it was a SO per cent tax, and it
went to charity, you couldn't
drink alone, for some poor fam
lily would be drinking with you.
Five cents a glass beer would
cost you a dime. You get the
beer. Somebody gets loaf of
bread. Anybody give big
champagne party and spend
hundreds of dollars. Not even a
Communist could kick on it, for
the needy get half of it. Even
at double the price it wouldn't
be as high as the country is
paying. Nobody could kick on
a person drinking If he gave an
equal amount to somebody that
was hungry. That would come
nearer being painless tax than
any I know of.

CLOSE MARKET
SAYS BENNETT I

LONDON, July 81. (U.P)-If Presi-
dent Roosevelt wants to save the
world. he will close the New York
stock exchange, Premier R. B. Ben
nett of Canada said today on
emerging from a meeting of wheat
conference delegates.
Bennett previously indicated pri-
vately he approved the closing OF
trading III grain futures in Chicago.
He declined to elaborate his re
mark about the New York stock
exchange, but ii was taken TO mean
he felt a halt in speculation was
necessary, and closing the exchange
would be the best way to accom-
plish it.
Wheat negotiators, unable to
reach agreement to control produc-
ton, had heard reports that they
were responsible in part for the
drastic declines in wheat prices on
the Chicago and Kansas City ex-
change.
