brain Exchanges Fully Vindicated J Slum]) of Priees Chicago Board of Trade Ex ecutive Declares Charges Disproved by Trade Commission’s Report. Chicago, July SO.—Grain exchanges of the United States have been "com pletely vindicated of the most unfair charge ever brought against an in dustry,” John R. Mauff, executive vice president of the Chicago Board of Trade, declared tonight in com menting on the federal trade com mission's report on operations of grain exporters, made public Sun day. The commission, he declared, had found that the price slump from July, 1920, to September, 1922, "was not due to speculation or manipulation, but ‘to other factors. Including sup ply and demand.’ “In view of the commission's con clusion, based on long and thorough inquiry," Mr. Mauff's statement said, “It seems pertinent to ask why the commission should suggest new re strictions for the already overbur dened exchanges. All agitation, all legislation, has been based on the contention that speculation and manipulation caused the declines. This dne contention of political agi tators, now branded as false by the commission, has caused chaos in an industry and for three years has compelled the exchanges to fight for their existence." Owing to the scarcity of wood and metals in Greece, washtubs are seldom seen. In the little village of Khasia, near Athens, the women have utilized stone sarcophagi that are more than 2,000 years old.
