HEDGING NECESSARY IN GRAIN MARKETS, SAYS CHICAGO MAN

(By Associated Press) PEORIA, III.. May 10 Charges against the nation's grain exchanges are In the main baseless and have resulted from a prejudiced condition which has been created among the farmers through dissemination of false doctrines, according to an address by Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago board of trade, before the Illinois grain dealers' association. Mr. Griffin declared that some farmers' organizations had become so pre"rtfofH hat fhy sought to paralyze the entire marketing system of the dLnj without providing any substitute. He asserted that the exchanges were controlled entirely by the law of suoply and demand. Touching on the futures market, Mr. Griffin said tbe economic value of hedging, or price insurance, was undisputed and that the necessity of a futures market in which to hedge the farmers' grain was recognized. "No conservative bank will make an unsecured loan to a small grain dealer who does not hedge his hold, ings because a slump might otherwise bring ruin," he said. "The banker loans his money to business men, not speculators. Unprotected grain is a speculation. "Elimination of the futures market means destruction of the economic functions of the grain exchanges; it means larger margin between producer and consumer and it involves the danger of price control."

He said that inasmuch as they had been confined in the Tombs for more than a year he thought they had been adequately punished. They were placed on probation for five years.
