New Senate Bills
Washington, Jan. 14. The house
' agricultural cainmittee, which is
holding hearings on bills designed
to Control future trading in grain,
was told by Joseph P. Griffin, presto
-dent of the Chicago board of trade,
that suppression of futures as pro
posed would, at a single stroke, des
troy the economic functions of the
nation's grain marketing machinery.
Risk of grain ownership cannot
be eliminated, the witness said, and
the speculators make possible a
broad market capable of absorbing
all offerings. In a broad snese, he
" said, the owricr of any commodity
"subject to price fluctuations is a
speculators
"From a banking standpoint, the
amount of credit which will be ex
tended to a grain pwner depends
entirely upon whether the grain is
hedged," he said.
"The margin of profit on grain
in the United States, where hedging
is constantly practicesd, is -very
substantially Jower than in foreign
countries,- where hedging is un
known. Also, the market between
producer and consumer is lower
than in the marketing of any other
foodstuffs.
"In the Chicago market the vol
ume of business is so great that an
offer of 10,000.000 bushels of grain
would cause little market fluctua
tes, mil were u not ior me t-nica-
go market, such ' an order in a
smaller market would cause down
ward fluctations.
"Vast quantities of grain which
never come to the Chicago market
are hedged there, for it is practically
the clearing house for the world for
grain insurance. The hedging facili
ties there are used by dealers in
Europe, Argentina and Australia.,
