the laxity of local citizens in not

AS local citizens observe, the

the snow in the river a few feet

Trading Gains Sharply
On Commodity Futures
By the Associotsd Press

Trading in farm commodity
futures increased sharply in the
fiscal year which ended June 80.
Futures trading was larger than
in the previous year in all but four
of the 10 agricultural commodities
in which such trading is conducted.
The Commodities Exchange Au-
thority, reporting this yesterday
said the biggest increases were in
grains, fats and oils, and by-prod-
ucts and feedstuffs.
Transactions in grain futures on
all markets amounted to 1925
100000 bushels compared to $780,
100000 in the previous year. Wheat
futures trading in each of the
three principal markets-Chicago,
Kansas City. and Minneapolis-more
than doubled the previous year.
Chicago corn futures transactions
exceeded any fiscal year since 1881.
The cotton futures markets con-
tinued to maintain the high volume
of business they have registered
since 1916. The total cotton futures
volume on the New York, New
Orleans, and Chicago exchanges
was 110,583,O0 bales. This was
slightly larger than in the previous
year and the highest since 1929.
Trading in lard futures totaled
1889 10000 pounds, the largest VOL
ume in any year for which records
are available.
Futures trading is the contracting
for the delivery of a commodity in
some specified future month at a
given price.
