Chicago market on June ~ to take
specific action against excessive
speculation and that the market had
responded In part July 2. The Chi
cago action, he said, increased mar
gin requirements and established
certain limits on speculative deal
ings in rye future contracts.
Denies Market Cornered.
In Chicago, j. o. McClintock, a
director of the Board Of Trade, said
ST do not believe that there has been
any corner on the rye market. I
know no manipulations that took
place during 1924.
Actually, there have been a num-
ber of good reasons for the increased
activity In rye. the markets for
other grains have been more or less
frozen by price ceilings, and there
were no price ceilings for rye. Rye
sold comparatively cheap and con-
sequently offered rather inviting
outlook.
Furthermore, believe that were
a price ceiling to be set on rye 1t
would be somewhere near current
prices"

said Investigation appears to be

of Trade. 1t had nothing to do with
