AAA Becomes Partner

The exact location of the ECO
nomic price levels" for cotton and
wheat are still uncertain, as they
must always be in the nature Of
things, but they are somewhere be-
low 81 for wheat and II cents
for cotton, the expert traders are
convinced.
The position Of the government,
with its 12-cent loan valuation on
cotton, is thus brought into ques-
ton. theoretically, the loan value
should peg cotton prices, regardless
of economic facts or beliefs since
a cotton farmer. presumably would
refuse to sell his lint for less than
the sum he could borrow on it.
There is a catch in this aSsump-
ton, though. The cotton farmer
takes aboard few obligations when
he borrows from the government.
One is that he accepts the AAA as
partner, and agrees to abide by its
rules. Some would rather sell their
cotton outright to private commerce
then take the loan and make these
agreements.

MARKET RIGHTS
Cases of Three Who Made
Fortunes in Grain Pits
Studied.
ByLHifcd Prcss

~ iHifed PTcss
WASHINGTON. Oct. II. - A de-
cision neared today on which hinges
the business future of three men
who dipped into world grain pits
and made fortunes.
The answers of two of them to
government charges that they vio-
lated the grain futures act are be-
ing studied by three cabinet mem
bers, and the case Of the third and
most prominent comes up Nov. Is.
If the cabinet tribunal, called the
grain futures commission and COM
posed of Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace. Secretary of
Commerce Daniel c. Roper and At
torney-General Homer S. Cum
mings. rejects the appeals. trading
privileges on all contract markets
will be refused.
Men Are Named
The three men are:
Arthur w. Cutten, eccentric mil
lionaire Spectator and Chicago
Board of Trade member, charged
with concealing his operations and
manipulating the wheat market to
his own advantage
Adrian Ettnger and Ewing w.
Brand, both of Cleveland, also
Board of Trade members, who OPP
crate in partnership and are
charged with substantially the same
practices as Mr.. Cutten.
All have recourse to the courts if
their appeals are denied and the
markets closed to them. In the
only other comparable proceedings
brought under the grain futures act
the Chicago Board of Trade went
to court and won from the govern
ment.
Board Was Convicted
The board had been convicted by
the commission, in an action tanta-
mount TO stopping its operations, of
refusing membership to the Farm
ers National Grain Corporation
which it later admitted to the floor
If a restraining order is issued
against the three men and subse-
quently is disobeyed by any one of
them, the department of justice will
prosecute the violator. The grain
futures act provides a maximum
penalty of $4,000 fine or a years
Imprisonment or both for fracture
or violation of a commission order
Cases of this sort are rare, but it
is felt that there may be more if
administration plans for additional
regulation of commodity exchanges
are strengthened by legislation.
New Bill introduced
Chairman Marvin Jones of the
house agriculture committee intro
duced a bill providing much stricter
trading rules at the last session. 1t
passed the house, but died in the
senate. 1t probably will be reintro-
duced in revised form early in
January.
Mr.. Ettinger and Mr.. Brand were
cited by Secretary Wallace on Jan.
II and a preliminary hearing was
held in Cleveland a week later. They
waived their right to oral argument
before the commission. concluding
their defense with the filing of
briefs.
Mr.. Cutten was cited April IL and
preliminary hearings were held in
Chicago in midsummer. He retained
the right of oral argument

Grain Trade Worries

The grain trade is beginning to
worry little about the number of
times the bureau of agricultural
economics of the department of ag-
riculture is revising it's estimate of
the 1884 world wheat crop. So far
this estimate has been revised six
times. Some have been up and
some down.
Production in forty reporting
countries, which include about all
producers except Russia and China.
was set today at 2,878,768,00 BUSH
els, which was up 100000 bushels
from the last previous estimate.
In another recent statement, the
bureau of agricultural economies
gave the count of livestock in
United States at 15,449,000 1t
must have been a difficult job to
take that census. Available grain
for feeding the livestock was eSti-
mated at 60,600,000 tons this sea-
son, which would make a little less
than half ton per head. Whether
this was enough was not vouch-
Safed, but the bureau did say that
only 100000 Of hay will be avail
able and 100000 tons are needed.

NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 15.-I do

motorboat with which it is his daily
custom-and I might add, his daily
bread-to go out hunting the vicious
shrimp. AS we progressed TO sea,
he unfolded to me, in his salty way,
some of the hardships of shrimp
hunting. Bitter cold. Biting wind.
No horSeradish. No tomato sauce,
with which to smother the hardy

Minnesota seems likely to be the
chief contender for the title. Coach
Bernie Bierman has IT letter men,

which does not call for the gophers
to meet another Big Ten for until
October 81.
Iowa has its strongest squad in
six years.
Bob zuppke, beginning his 22nd
year as Illinois coach, is looking
forward to a successful year.
Purdue lost heavily by graduation
but Coach Noble Kizer has a big
squad.
Ohio State and Indiana will cam
paign under new coaches. Francis
Schmidt, formerly of Texas Christ
ian, will attempt to silence the
downtown coaches at Ohio State
and "Bo" McMillin, formerly OF
Kansas Kansas State, will try to
give Indian an offensive.
Wisconsin and Northwestern are

Chicago, in its second year under
