This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Mr. J. C. F. MERRILL, Preadent,
Board op Trade op thb City op Chicago.
Mt Dear Sir:
In accordance with an honored custom, and in conformity with the
rules of this Association, it is my pleasure to present to you the Fifty*
fourth Annual Report of the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago cover-
ing the year 1911.
In presenting my report for the year 1910, it was my observation that
a careful examination of fundamental commercial conditions showed a
serious and gratif3nng purpose everywhere towards a readjustment of
business conditions after a period of rampant commercial activity dtiring
the previous years. An examination of the same conditions during the
year just closed reveals this policy still in operation which should be a
matter of congratulation to blO. concerned in a conservative and rational
administration of business affairs. Only by a careful conservation of
our commercial and industrial energy will this nation be fully prepared
to direct the forces which inevitably will soon assure us a prosperity
more bountiful and widely distributed than any we have yet known.
While business conditions dtuing the last year have not been feverishly
active, it should not be concluded that they have been stagnant. Every
indication is at variance with any such idea as that of commercial distress
or apprehension. Industry is not in a condition of exhaustion but rather
of pausing until those concerned can see clearly some signs of returning
optimism. Our banking conditions are sound and money plentiful at
reasonable rates of interest; labor ample and well paid, and the agri-
cultural crops, the basis of the entire industrial structure, while not enorm-
ous, have been reasonably bountiful at fair prices. Accordingly, viewing
conditions generally, one may report that while not so favorable as desired,
and even hoped, yet on the other hand, they show a steady improvement
and a genuine promise of future betterment.
One matter of comparatively recent development both in this
country, and among all other civilized and commercial nations
as well, should be noted in passing. This is the steadily growing
policy that commerce with other nations is a benefit and not a misfortune,
and that the wider such commerce with other nations becomes and the
greater its volume, the more prosperous and enlightened is the nation
which shares in it. It seems, therefore, that this Association has genuine
cause for gratification upon the constant improvement in trade relations
with all nations and all peoples, bringing nearer as it does the time when
the markets of the world will be opened to all nations upon terms recipro-
cally beneficial to all.
The position of Chicago as the world's greatest grain and provision
market ^ows no sign of an early or permanent decline. While the accumu-
XIV
lation of grain receipts at Chicago upon several occasions during the last
year threatened to present a complicated and unhealthy situation, yet
the steady advancement of prices and a general increase in the demand
have restored normal and satisfactory conditions at this market. From
the standpoint both of the receiver and shipper, the movement of grain
both to and from this market, while not all that could be desired, has
nevertheless been in sufiBident volume to maintain these essential elements
of the grain business in a high state of prosperity.
One line of work during the last year should be especially commended.
This is the effort of your Committee on Promotion in conjunction with
the officers of the Association and others well qualified by ability and
experience to remove in the minds of the public at large those misconcep-
tions of the work and fimction of speculation in the grain trade. This
work has been carried on through the press both in the City of Chicago
and outside of it, by speakers at various conventions of farmers and
business men, and contributions to magazines of wide circulation
and influence. Looking back over the work of the year in this direction,
those who have had an opportunity to judge of its effect feel confident
of a slow but certain change in public sentiment favorable to this as well
as all other produce exchanges where the bujring and selling of agricultural
commodities for future delivery is carried on.
In one particular, I regret that I cannot report as satisfactory a condition
of affairs at this time as I did in my last Annual Report. At the present
time, due almost exclusively to the sentiment in the Southern states
against the exchanges, various bills have been presented to Congress at
Washington seeking to limit speculative trading in agricultural commod-
ities, including grain and cotton. One such bill has recently been re-
ported out of the Committee on Agriculture to the House of Representatives
against the vigorous protest, however, of a minority of such Committee,
including the Chairman himself. Based upon the latest and most authentic
information which I can obtain, there seems small likelihood of the passage
of this bill or any other of similar purport at this present session of Congress
due to the congestion of other business awaiting action.
A committee of this Association in conjunction with similar com-
mittees of other exchanges, sought in every legitimate way to demonstrate
the un-wisdom of the proposed legislation and retiuned from Washington
firmly convinced that they had removed all doubt in the minds of the
Committee before which the bill was pending as to the legitimate nature
of the transactions on this and other produce exchanges. In this, however,
they were disappointed by subsequent events. Whatever the outcome
of this particular bill, it should but inspire all who know and appreciate
the splendid economic functions performed by our produce exchanges
to increased vigilance and zealous effort in order that these essential
instrumentalities of modem commerce may not only be preserved, but
may take their proper place in the economic structure of modem business.
The following tables show the percentages of last year's crops
of wheat, com, oats and barley on hand March 1, 1912:

J. C. WOOD, Chairman Real Bstate Committee
The amount collected in the Real Estate Department, comprising rents,
electric lights, etc., amounted to $139,865.43, as against $135,558.68 in
1910. The bonded indebtedness has been reduced during the year,
$50,000.00, and now stands $994,300.00 bearing 4 per cent interest, pay-
able on the first day of June and the first day of December each year.
The Board holds uncanceled bonds amounting to $67,100.00 par value.
The amount paid for repairs on the building was $13,951.17, as against
$6,369.34 paid in 1910. The increase is partly accounted for by the ex-
penditure of $4,364.55 for repairs on the old storage battery, which were
contracted for in 1910, and, therefore, an expense inherited by the Real
Estate Committee. The expenses of 1910 were brought down to the
lowest point consistent with safety in view of the possibility of erecting
a new building. The project of the new building being abandoned for the
XXXIV
time being, there was necessity for more than ordinary expense attending
the building in 1911.
The Board received $1,850.00 as interest on building bonds held by the
Association. Taxes on personal property amounted to $98.80 as against
$432.90 paid in 1910.
MEMBERSHIP
The membership of the Board on the 8th day of January, 1912, numbered
1,627, showing a reduction of 20 during the year.
The pro rate amount assessed by the Board of Directors, under the pro-
visions of Section 5 of Rule IV, for the ensuing fiscal year, is $75.00.

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WEIGHING DEPART-
MENT OF THE CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
H. A. FOSS, Weighmaster
January 2, 1912.
Mr. Edward Andrew, Chairman,
Weighing Committee, Board of Trade of the City of Chicago.
Dear Sir:
I take pleasure in transmitting to you this my fourteenth annual report
concerning the work of the weighing department.
During the year 1911 the department weighed 311,231 cars, of which
192,742 were received into elevators, warehouses and the various manu-
facturing plants; 111,630 cars were shipped out; and 6,859 cars were trans-
ferred from car to car. The department weighed 87,407,170 bushels of
grain to and from vessels and canal boats, and 26,357 bags of seed. The
total quantity of grain weighed, figuring on the basis of 1,250 bushels to
the car, reached approximately 476,500,000 bushels, of which 389,000,000
bushels were transported by cars, and the remainder by lake craft. This
is 8,316 more cars, 23,206,835 bushels more grain to and from vessels,
and 5,370 more bags of seed than the department weighed during the year
1910.
We have received complaints of shortage on 2,599 cars. The shortages
on 803 of these were accounted for.
In discussing the subject of shortages at this time, it is appropriate to
mention the fact that a large percentage of complaints that were received
concerned grain the weights of which were determined by estimating
the quantities loaded. I would also call attention to the fact that on
1,051 of the 2,599 cars reported short in weight,the amounts of discrepancy
comidained of were not given.
XXXVI
The average vessel shortage this year is 16.4 pounds on each 1,000
btishels of grain handled. This, as compared with the average for last
year, is a reduction of 7 pounds per 1,000 bushels.
The demands on the scale inspection department have been increasing
largely, especially from country points. On account of this increased
demand for our services in this connection, we were compelled to add to
this branch of the service another scale inspector. In this regard we
were very fortunate in being able to secure a man of recognized ability.
This addition to our scale inspection force has enabled us to meet aU the
demands from the coimtry for scale inspections. In this connection I
wish to say that the results of these trips have been very gratifying, as
they have eliminated many otherwise permanent causes for shortage and
the resultant ill-feeling. During the year we tested the scales at 60
country elevators, containing 115 scales. We found 82 of these, or 71
per cent out of order. The records of the year's work show that we tested
various scales in Chicago and country points, as follows:
730 hopper scales, of which 166 were found incorrect.
170 track scales, of which 38 were found incorrect.
68 wagon scales, of which 45 were found incorrect.
33 small scales, of which 13 were found incorrect.
This makes a total of 1,001 scales, of which 252, or 25 per cent were
found incorrect.
On account of the number of scales at country points found out of con-
dition by the department, and on account of the careless, slipshod manner
in which many shippers have been caring for their weighing machines, all
of which is conducive to inaccuracy, contention and ill-feeling, we com-
piled a circular letter entitled, ** Helpful Hints for Wide-Awake Weighmen,"
which we distributed to the grain trade throughout the states of Iowa and
Illinois. The demand for this circular letter from railroads, too,
necessitated the printing of 6,000 copies.
We also compiled and distributed an illustrated placard entitled, "How
to Prevent the Leakage of Grain." This placard illustrated eflEective
methods of preventing leakage of grain from cars by the intelligent appli-
cation of burlap, and was wdl received. In fact, in addition to the 5,000
copies sent out by the weighing department, various railroad companies,
with our consent, reproduced the placard and distributed many thousands
more.
In addition to this placard on how to prevent the leakage of grain, we
compiled a leakage table showing the various points of cars where leakage
most frequently occurs. This table covered the cars examined by the
XXXVII
department during the past 5 years; and although originally we only had
1,000 copies printed, the demand from the railroads and shippers for the
table was so great that it was necessary for us to have 22,000 copies printed.
Oar experience has shown that literature of this character goes a long way
toward the elimination of errors, and towards decreasing shortages and
promoting harmony.
As the cause for many of the shortages at Chicago go unexplained, the
stealing of grain in transit or stored in railroad yards is a matter of great
]mix>rtance; and in this connection our policing force has been doing effec-
tive work during the past year, and our efforts have resulted in 67 arrests.
Of these 18 paid fines of two hundred and eighty dollars; 12 were sent to
the John Worthy School; 23 boys were paroled to juvenile ofl&cers; and
14 were discharged.
Turn now to the custodian department, which was inaugurated June
14, 1911. This bureau has passed the experimental stage, and is working
out to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Not only has the depart-
ment proved a protection to the sellers of grain, but also to the elevator
operators and to the banks. The elevator people, for their part, are
exchanging custodian car certificates for round-lot custodian certificates,
which the banks are accepting as secured collateral. In connection with
the running of the department, we have seventy employees each under a
$5,000.00 bond with the American Surety Company, while those who are
authorized to sign the custodian certificates are each under $40,000.00
bond. The practice at the elevators includes the weighing of all grain
in and out of the houses that are under the supervision of the custodian
department, men being stationed up and down stairs to look after the
weighing, tmloading and loading of the grain. We also have inaugurated
a system of seals, by which it is impossible for the elevators to run their
machinery, when we are not present, without evidence of it being ap-
parent to us. This sealing system includes devices for sealing the rail-
road tracks, elevator doors, or elevator engines, according to the con-
ditions prevailing at the various plants. As an additional precaution we
have an estimating force, which is continually estimating the quantity of
grain in the elevators. We aim to estimate quantity in each elevator
at least once a month, and oftener if deemed necessary. We also estimate
the amount of shrinkage incidental to handling and cleaning the grain, and
make deductions in the stocks accordingly; and we verify these estimated
shrinkages by weigh-overs from time to time.
The system we have inaugurated for handling the clerical part of the
custodian business, such as making records, issuing custodian certificates
XXXVIII
and providing for their delivery with the least delay, is along the lines in
vogue in the weighing department, and this system has proved very
satisfactory. Our office is open from 6:30 o'clock in the morning to 6 KM)
o'clock in the evening, and during the busy season we have some of our
clerks in both the custodian and weighing departments work eictra hours,
so that we are enabled to deliver both the weight certificates and the custo-
dian certificates promptly.
It is with regret that I have to annoimce that Mr. A. E. Schuyler, who
has acted as my assistant for many years, and who has been with the weigh-
ing department for the past 17 or 18 years, his services beginning during
the regime of Mr. John Walker, has resigned to accept an offer of Mr. J. A.
McNulty, Agent for the Grain Door Reclamation and Car Coopo'age
Bureau.
You will find attached the financial report for the year.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT
WILLIAM M. HOPKINS, Manager
Gentlemen : —
I beg to herewith submit brief summary of the work of the Transpor-
tation Committee for the year 1911.
Rate adjustments of the greatest importance to this Board and on which
this Committee has been working for some time have been brought to
completion. Besides, many matters of lesser importance but of value to
this market, have been accomplished.
READJUSTMENT OF RATES TO THE SOUTHEAST
For many years the tariff adjustment of rates from territory west of the
Mississippi River has been such as to prevent any movement of grain from
that section through Chicago to points in the Southeast. The Missouri
River markets, St. Louis and the Ohio River markets have enjoyed a
monopoly of that business except at such times as Chicago could get in.
during the old cut-rate days prior to 1906.
On November 13, 1911, the Commission rendered a decision in the so-
caUed Rosenbaum case after having had the matter before them for two
years. Under this decision the Chicago grain merchant can draw grain
from territory west of the Mississippi River, including Missouri River
points, and market it at points in the Southeast on a basis of rates equal
to the combination made through Peoria, St. Louis and Ohio River gate-
ways.
The importance of this decision to this market is readily seen as it opens
up new territory for distribution. Your Committee believes that the
increased business which will result to the members from securing this
additional territory justifies the maintenance of the Transportation
Department if no other thing had been accomplished during its existence
up to the present time. Furthermore, this Committee beHeves the
members should know that this result was accomplished by the Trans- ,
portation Committee without any expense for legal fees in prosecuting the
case before the Interstate Conmierce Conmiission, where it was most
bitterly contested on the part of the Southern railways who desired to keep
out of that territory and retain it for the Ohio River markets.
CHICAGO A RATE BASING POINT
In the report of the Transportation Conmuttee for 1910, reference was
ntiade to the effort toward making Chicago a rate basing point and mini-
mizing the use of transit. This work has been prosecuted during the
year and the roads have finally announced the date of effectiveness of
Illinois Specific Rates and cancellation of through tariffs from Illinois
points, as April 1.
The important benefits resulting from this rate adjustment are:
First: More than 1500,000 which is now tied up in freight refunds will
be released.
Second: The same rates wiU apply on grain to be reshipped by water
as on grain to be reshipped aU rail.
Besides, the use of transit will be minimized and consequently the
expense of handling your transit accounts will be correspondingly reduced.
ELEVATION ALLOWANCE
Since the report of the Transportation Committee a year ago the Supreme
Court has decided that the railway companies may pay for the service of
transferring grain. It is expected that the result of this decision will be
that the transfer allowance paid at Chicago will not be disturbed.
EQUALIZED RATES
In the opinion of the Committee, the measure of rates themselves is of
less importance than the comparative relation of rates to this market and
to other competing markets. It was fotmd that it cost less to handle
grain from Elansas City to Buffalo via Milwaukee than via Chicago, by
reason of the C. M. & St. P. Ry. Co. transferring the grain from cars to
vessels through its own elevator at Milwaukee at a charge less than the
same service could be secured through any elevator at Chicago. This
Department succeeded in getting the railways to assume the cost of this
transfer at Chicago, thus putting this gateway on a parity with Milwaukee
on through shipments of grain via lake to eastern markets.
More than thirty cases similar to the above, dealing with discriminations
in rates, rules or regulations, were acted upon by this Committee and in
each instance the discrimination was removed. A detailed report of these
cases can be obtained by application to the office of the Manager.
The policy of this Department remains unchanged, that is, of endeavor-
ing to accomplish the needed reforms by co-operation with the railways.
Recourse is had to the Courts or the Commission only when other remedies
have been exhausted. It may be worthy of note that the policy of the
ZLI
railway companies appears to be to increase their revenue by every means
possible and to resist any changes that involve the slightest reduction in
their revenue, regardless of the merits of the case. This Department has
opposed every effort of the railways to advance rates unless a like advance
to other markets was made.
During the year this Committee intervened in several cases before the
Interstate Commerce Commission where our interests were involved and
reparation claims aggregating more than $14,000 were prosecuted and the
money in each instance recovered for our members. In all these matters
no expense was incurred for attorney's fees.
Your Chairman is pleased to advise that the use of the Transportation
Department is much more general on the part of the trade than heretofore.
It is the effort of the Department to encourage members to avail them-
selves of its services and an increasing number are doing so.
In conclusion, I beg to express to the members of the Transportation
Committee, my appreciation of their loyalty and devotion to the work.
Many meetings have been held and often at a considerable sacrifice of time
to our members.
I desire also to acknowledge the conscientious and efficient services of
the Manager of the Department and with the support of our members,
continued beneficial results to this market through this Department are
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES B. PIERCE,
Chairman Transportation Committee.
REPORT OF LEGAL DEPARTMENT FOR YEAR 1911.
During the year 1911 a number of important matters, including the
formulation of a plan for a new clearing-house system, have required the
services of our legal department.
While the crusade against bucket shops has not been relaxed, the liti-
gation during the year has not been extensive. Two new suits were started
at Pittsburgh, against Harkless & Company, Keystone Commission
Company, and Spuhler & Company, and permanent injunctions were
issued,enjoining from using our quotations the following named defendants :
Isaac N. Harkless, Henry J. Spuhler,
P. C. Harkless, Prank H. Spuhler,
Harry O'Brien, William Heck,
Harry Brown, Emerson Neeley,
W. M. Rich. Richard Gearing,
George B. Lane, Verne L. Shoup,
Prank M. Keene, George £. Pisher,
James P. Keene, Prank Kennedy,
Prank Smith.

In the suit brought by the Board at Lincohi, Nebraska, against Herbert
E. Grooch Company and others, to restrain the theft of quotations, not
only was a permanent injunction obtained against Herbert E. Gooch
Company, Herbert E. Gooch, L. B. Tobin, W. P. Archibald, William
Clendenning, and Frank Sharpneck, but a very important decision was
rendered, the court deciding that our quotations are not impressed with a
public use, but are the Board's private property, which it may withhold
from any person it pleases. This decision repudiates a contrary decision
by the Supreme Court of Illinois in 1889.
In the proceeding for contempt at St. Louis against Frank J. Miner and
others, the Board won a victory in the Circuit Court of Appeals, which
dismissed the appeal. The defendants have applied to the Supreme
Court of the United States to compel the Court of Appeals to change its
decision. A decision is expected early in January.
The appeal of the Board in the litigation at St. Louis against Thomas £.
Price, has been submitted to the Circuit Court of Appeals, but it has not
yet rendered a decision.
William Lanyon of St. Louis instituted a suit in the Federal Circuit
Court at Chicago against our Board and James E. Bennett & Company to
restrain Bennett from settling with the other parties trades he had with
them as Mr. Lanyon's broker, and also to restrain the Board from dis-
ciplining Bennett for not doing so. A comer was alleged to have existed.
The case was heard upon application for a temporary injunction before
Judge Kohlsaat, and the court held it had no power to, and refused to,
enjoin the Board from exercising its disciplinary functions. This
practically ends the case as to the Board. The case is still pending against
Bennett & Company, against whom an injunction has been issued.
In July a bill was filed in the State court at Chicago by the Board
(joining with it a large number of shippers and receivers of grain) to prevent
the putting into efiFect of an act passed by the last Illinois legislature
requiring the payment of all fees of the State Grain Inspection Department
into the State Treasury, and inhibiting their being disbursed without
legislative appropriation and warrant of the State Auditor. Believing
that this Act would seriously cripple the State Grain Inspection Depart-
ment, a bill was filed attacking the constitutionality of the Act. Judge
Dever in the State Court, however, decided against the complainants,
and the Supreme Court of the State, by a recent decision, has afiSrmed
his decree. A delay of six months was, however, secured through a tem-
porary injunctional order, which will aid in dealing with an embarrassing
situation until the next legislature can be appealed to for an appropriation
to furnish adequate inspection service.
XLIIl
The suit for alleged personal injuries brought by one Austin Stanton
against your Board and another defendant has been tried and decided in
favor of the Board.
GRAIN SAMPLING DEPARTMENT
ROBERT P. KETTLES, Chief Grain Sampler
The amount received for sampling cars by the Grain Sampling Depart-
ment of the Board, amotmted to $47,893.80, and disbursements, $42,776.62,
showing a surpltis of $5,117.18.
During the year the department sampled 112,997 cars of grain, and the
total ntmiber of bushels sampled for lake shipment aggregated 36,498,647
bushels.
As indicating somewhat the volume of business transacted tmder the
rules of this Board during the past year, we would state that the receipts
of grain and flour in its grain equivalent for 1911, aggregated
291.367,982 bushels, as against 294,858,724 bushels during 1910. The
shipments aggregated 221,429,014 bushels, as against 214,601,080 bushels
during 1910.
The shipments of cured meats, in 1911, aggregated 550,849,300
pounds, as against 562,203,800 pounds, in 1910; of fresh meats,
870,704,600 pounds, as against 812,076,000 pounds in 1910; of lard,
302,699,100 pounds, as against 268,702,900 potmds, in 1910; of barreled
pork, 105,913 barrels, as against 126,728 barrels, in 1910.
Receipts of all kinds of live stock at Chicago during 1911, aggregated
16,397,492 head, valued at $339,484,690, brought in 271,660 cars; as against
14.452,490 head, valued at $357,145,681, brought in 251,080 cars, in 1910.
In the administration of the affairs of the Board, your Directors have
kept steadily and persistently in view the supreme importance of main-
taining the integrity of the declared principles and objects of the Associa-
tion; of the equitable adjustment of business controversies; the recogni-
tion of the intent of business contracts so far as that intent can be ascer-
tained; of not permitting under any circumstances, technicalities, mere
mistakes, or omissions, to obscure the evident intention of the contracting
parties. Happily few occasions have arisen to call for the intervention
in such matters of any of the tribunals of the board.
XLIV
CUSTODIAN DEPARTMENT
H. A. FOSS, Custodian
The primary object being to secure flie receiving merchants of fhe
Board in fheir sales to private warehouses
Your directors grappled successfully, under the lead of the President,
with the problem which has confronted every directory since the establish-
ment of the organization, viz. : to secure the absolute validity and integrity
of grain warehouse receipts issued by private warehouses or elevators,
located in Chicago, as collateral security. This problem your directorate
has successfully solved by creating a " Custodian Department, " as defined
in Section 22 of Rule IV. The creation of this department is acquiesced
in, and highly commended by the Chicago banks. It is not too much to
say that this one act alone of the outgoing administration is of great
satisfaction to your Board of Directors, to the trade; and is considered
of incalculable benefit to our moneyed institutions, and not less serviceable,
in a variety of ways, to our merchants ; in fact, it is impossible to exaggerate
the importance and value of this department. In achieving this result,
we are pleased to recognize the hearty co-operation of the members of the
board, who have always stood by the directory in the practice of the
highest mercantile principles.
Failure to DeUver or Receive on Contracts
Another measure of great importance has been secured in the adoption
of Section 1 of Rule XXIII, which efifectively prevents so-called " comers, "
which have properly called forth criticism by legislators, both state and
national, and by writers of more or less prominence upon the subject of
political economy.
Much time and effort have been spent in acquainting the legislative
bodies of the country and the public generally, with the active and practical
functions of the grain exchanges of the cotmtry, especially those of the
Chicago Board of Trade; also with the close and vital relation which these
fimctions sustain to every industry — to the farmer, producer, grain dealer,
banker, and to the people regardless of political affiliations.
It was soon discovered in prosecuting the campaign for the general
diffusion of information as to grain exchanges, their purposes, their func-
tions; and as to many and effective facilities created and sustained for the
protection of all interests involved, that dealing in generalities, discussing
abstract theories of political economy, were unproductive of desirable
results; in fact, instead of being of benefit to the exchanges, were to these
institutions a positive injury. Members of Congress who were desirous
of obtaining a thorough knowledge of the grain exchanges of the country.
XLV
in order that they might enact such laws as would best promote the common
commercial and industrial welfare, vainly sought, tmtil this year, to obtain
that information which only a practical grain merchant, exceptionally
qualified by long, successful and extensive experience in the grain trade,
could impart. This information has been given by your President and
others to congressional committees, to various commercial bodies in
di£Eerent parts of the cotmtry, and in many publications. The
country has long stood in need of facts with relation to the grain exchanges.
In some instances your directors are reliably informed that members of
congress regretted that they were not placed in possession of such facts
before they passed upon pending bills relating to the grain exchanges of
the United States.
BIARKBT REPORT DEPARTMENT
The work of the Market Report Committee has brought forth
satisfactory results; persistent vigilance has characterized its efforts in order
that no "bucket shop" may secure the quotations of the board which
the courts have decided are the property of the association.
Your Directors respectfully urge that work along the lines set forth in
the foregoing report be energetically pursued by the new administration.

case may be, by indorsement thereon by the seller, of the name of the
party to whom it is to be delivered, together with the contract price
at which the property is sold, and also the time at which the delivery
is made. In the case of deliveries made outside of the buyer's office,
as provided above, the first delivery of such notice shaU be made
before 1:35 o'clock p. m., and any party holding such notice longer
than five minutes as shown by the indorsement on same of the time
of the previous delivery, shall not be permitted to deliver it.
Provided, however, that on the last business day of any month a party
having grain bought in 1,000 bushel lots and sold in 5,000 bushel lots
may deUver five 1,000 bushel lots on 5,000 bushel lot contracts not later
thaii five minutes after having received the last 1,000 bushel lot, by
attaching the five notices firmly to each other and making the usual
endorsement upon the last notice, as hereinbefore provided. Any
person indorsing upon said notices any fictitious name or the name
of any person, firm or corporation other than that of the person, firm
or corporation to whom he tenders the notice upon a bona fide sale of
the property mentioned therein, actually made by himself, or the firm,
or the corporation he represents, or upon the written order of another
member, firm, or corporation on whose behalf he makes such tender,
or who shall make any alteration therein, or any substitution of
property other than that originally named in the notice by the original
issuer thereof, shall be deemed guilty of gross fraud, and, if a member,
he shall be suspended or expeUed, at the discretion of the Board of
Directors; and if not a member, such person shall be permanently
excluded from the rooms of the Association. All delivery notices
issued tmder this rule shall be consecutively numbered by the parties
issuing them. Notices of readiness to deliver property as herein
provided, and all subsequent transfers of such notices, shall be deemed
and held to be a valid and sufficient tender of property, on time con-
tracts, tmder the Rules of this Board of Trade, provided the property
is actually delivered, or is shown to have been ready for delivery, in
the manner and upon the terms herein provided. It shall be the duty
of the party regularly holding such notice at 2:00 o'clock p. m., to
present the same at the office of the issuer before 2:30 o'clock p. m.,
and of the party regularly holding such notice at 11:00 o'clock a. m.
to present the same at the office of its issuer before 11:30 o'clock
A. M. of the same day, together with a certified check on some Chicago
bank in good standing, or other satisfactory payment for the net
amount due for the property represented by any or all of said notices,
at the market price; and upon tendering said notice, or notices, with
payment, at the office of its issuer, the holder of said notice or notices, Differaoeai,
«hall be entitled to receive the property represented by same. AllJ^^gJj"**
differences due from, or to parties to such delivery shall be paid upon based,
the basis of a full delivery, and no more, and each purchaser receiving
notice of delivery, shall be responsible to the seller from whom the
notice was received, for the difference between the price actually paid
for the property and their contract price. In cases where the seller's
contract price is less than the price actually paid for the property,
such seller shall be responsible to the purchaser to whom he delivered
the notice, for the difference. All such differences shall be due and
payable immediately upon the delivery and payment for the actual
property; it being the duty of each person traxisf erring the delivery
notice to ascertain what price was actually paid for the property.

represented by the same.
All differences between* the price paid for the property and any
Mode of settle- contract prices involved in its delivery, due to or from parties to such
delivery, shall be adjusted and paid in the same manner and with the
same liabilities as in the case of delivery made under this section

next business day. The party holding the property shall, however.

either delivered to him in person, to his business representative, at
his place of business, or left at the Secretary's office in case he has no
regular place of business, that the property was ready for delivery
under this Rule on his contract. In case it should appear on com-
plaint duly made to the Board of Directors that any member has been
guilty of issuing a notice of readiness to deliver property as herein
provided, who had not the property mentioned in such notice, in his
control or possession at the time of issuing such notice, or, having
issued such notice, shall thereafter dispose of the property, except as

under his direction, shall have the power to extend the time for such
deliveries from 2:00 o'clock p. m. (if on a Saturday, from 1:00 o'clock
p. M.), as often and to such time during that day as in his judgment
it may be necessary to enable all, who are prepared to do so, to tender
or receive delivery notices. When any extension of time is made
under this proviso, it shall be announced in the Exchange Hall, or in
such other place as may be designated by the Board of Directors for
the purpose of making deliveries, on or before the expiration of the

purchase and for the sale of commodities mentioned therein shall be
carried out in absolute good faith, it being expressly understood that
in construing this Section its purely techincal provisions — ^the princi-
pal purpose of which is to facilitate deliveries — must not be used as a
pretext to evade the obligations of a contract. Any violation, how-

The Conunittee on Flour Inspection also recommend to millers
and shippen of flour m sacks to be inspected in this market, that in
dosing the sack the month edge of the sack be tuned in without
rolling, and sewed with a single seam, the stitches to be at least U
inches apart. (See Pig. 1.) This will allow the Inspector to insert
the trier between the stitches without making holes in Che doth.
The Committee on Flour Inspection further recommend to millers,
shippers of flour, and railway agents, that in loading cars the follow-
ing instructions be observed:
[(One hundred and forty pound sacks should be piled in two tiers
lengthwise of the car, the mouths of sacks placed toward center of
car (see Fig. 2), leaving the spaed between the tiers of sacks in the
center of the car free and clear for the convenience of the Inspector.
The sacks of flour should be piled as fallows: The sacks on the
floor to be placed four inches from the side walls of car, and sacks so
piled as to gradually indine to the walls of the car until the top rows
press strongly f^ainst the said walls, as shown in Fig. 2.

Unless these recommendations be complied with the Inspector
wiH charge for the labor necessary to put the Sour in proper poiition
for inspection.

All persons employed in the inspection of grain shall promptly
report to the Chief Inspector in writing all attempts to defraud the
system of grain inspection established by law, and all instances where
warehousemen shall deliver or attempt to deliver grain of a lower
grade than that called for by the warehouse receipt.
They shall also, in the same manner, report all attempts of receivers
or shippers of grain, or any other person interested therein, to instruct
or in any improper way to influence the action or opinion of any In-
spector in the discharge of his duty; and the Chief Inspector shall
report all such cases to the Commission.
RULES

No claim for damages on account of error in the inspection of any
lot of grain (except grain inspected from PubUc Warehouses in accord-
ance with law) will be entertained or allowed by the Board of Rail-
road and Warehouse Commissioners, unless complaint of such inspec-
tion shall be made to the Chief Inspector before the grain in question
shall be removed from the car in which it is inspected, or before it
shall leave the jurisdiction of the department.
Grain transferred from the car in which it was inspected to another
must be inspected after transfer to entitle the owner to have any
claim arising thereunder considered by the Board of Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners.
RULE 1.
Failure to report for duty unless properly excused will be deemed
a surrender of the position held by the absentee and no compensation
will be allowed for days so absent.
RULE 2.
Deputy Inspectors, Chief Samplers and Helpers are especially
instructed to use all due care in cases where it becomes necessary to
remove boards to obtain ingress into cars in order to properly inspect
or sample the grain in such cars, to replace all such boards removed
in such a manner as to prevent leakage or waste of grain from cars.
It will be the duty of all inspectors and Chief Samplers to make a
record of defective and leaky condition of cars and grain doors and to
report the same to the Chief Grain Inspector on blanks especially
prepared, showing the location of leakage and such other information
as would be of service to the receiver and the shipper of grain.
RULE 3.
EARLIBR HOURS.
When the receipts are large, and the interests of the trade require
an earlier inspection, all Deputy Inspectors, Chief Samplers and
Helpers assigned to duty on the track will begin work at as early an
hour as practicable.
RULE 4.
EVBNING WORK.
Inspectors stationed at elevators wiU, when necessary to complete
the cargo or shipment upon which they may be engaged, remain on
duty after regular hours and as late in the evening as they can see
to inspect grain safely. Compensation for such services is provided
in Rules 13 and 14 of the Railroad and Warehouse Commission.
RULE 5.
WET WEATHER AMD DARKNESS.
No inspector stationed at an elevator is authorized to inspect out
of store after dark or in wet weather, except on receipt, personally
or through the office of the Chief Inspector, of an order written upon
the printed blanks furnished by the Department, filled and signed by
the owner of the grain or his authorized agent, relieving such Inspector
of all responsibility for damage which may be caused by such wet

darkness; but in every case the Inspector must be personally present
when the grain is actually delivered on board, making his report of
the inspection after such actual delivery.

REGULATIONS
FOR THE
Inspection of Provisions
Adopted by the Board of Directors
Regulation 1. For the examination of provisions sold as
Standard, it shall be the duty of any Inspector properly appointed by
the Association, on receiving notice, to go to any packing house or
warehouse in the city, to examine provisions, in such quantities as
may be required, selecting the same in such a manner, from the lots
specified, as, in his judgment, will give a fair sample of the whole.
Reg. 2. If, upon examination, the property is found, in all
respects, up to the requirements of the classification of the grades
adopted by the Association, he shall issue a certificate to that effect,
which certificate shall state the number of packages, pieces, or pounds
examined, and also the number of packages, pieces, or pounds in the
lot to which the examination is intended to apply, and that the pack-
ages (if £iny) are in good merchantable order and condition. In the
case of lard, no certificate for inspection shall be issued unless every
package is examined; but on request of the owner or person ordering
the inspection, the Inspector may examine a part of a lot, and issue a
certificate of such examination, stating the number of packages
examined, and also the whole number of packages in the lot.

samples or the knowledge of their identity other than those enjoyed

provided in Section 18 of Rule 22, 2nd paragraph, in which case the
examination shall be made at such time and place and after such
notification as will give all parties at interest an opportunity of being
present.
Nineteenth. In case it should not be feasible to obtain samples of
track arrivals in the manner above outlined, owing to the volume of
grain coming in, an arrangement may be made with Receivers* agents

Under and by virtue of the provisions of Section 2, Rule IV, of
the Rules of the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, enacted
in pursuance of Section 10 of the Act to Incorporate the Board
of Trade of the City of Chicago, the following regulations are
adopted by the Directors of the said Board of Trade of the
City of Chicago, for the guidance and information of the
Weighing Department and the members of this Association.
REGULATION 1.
Received or transferred grain shall not be cleaned or blown before weighing,
nor shall it be subjected to such handling as will cause loss in weight. This pro-
hibition shall also apply to shipments after weighing.
REGULATION 2.
No dockage from actual weights shall be allowed on in-coming or out-going
grain, except when unusual dirt or foreign matter is inseparably mixed with the
grain, in which case it shall be the duty of the weighmaster or his deputy to deter-
mine the amount of unusual dirt or foreign matter, and to weigh the entire con-
tents of the car. All allowances for unusual dirt or foreign matter shall appear
on the face of certificate issued for such cars.
REGULATION 3.
All cars when unloaded must be thoroughly swept and cleaned, except in
cases where cars contain foreign matter unsuitable for mixing with grain. Then
it shall be the duty of the Weighmaster or his deputy to determine the amount of
grain and foreign matter to be left in the car. This amotmt shall be stated on the
certificate of weights for each car, but such amount shall not be included in the
net weight as shown by certificate.
REGULATION 4.
If hopper scales are used in determining the amount of grain a car contains,
h shall be the duty of the elevator operators unloading such car to deliver to the
scales the entire contents of said car except where cars contain unusual dirt or for-
eign matter not covered by Reg. 3, because not suitable for handling by elevator.
It shall be the additional duty of said elevator operator to clean thoroughly the
unloading pits and the floor adjacent to such pits of any of the contents of said
car that may have lodged there and deliver such contents to the scale to be weighed
and credited to said car.
REGULATION 5.
The contents of each car shall be weighed in as few drafts as the scale incase
will permit.

REGULATION 6.
The Weighmaster aad his deputies shall be allowed to handle the scale beams

REGULATION 7.
Certificates of weight shall bear the date of weighing, and when issued for
cars that have been loaded with grain which, for any reason, are subsequently
returned to the loading elevator and wholly or partly unloaded, shall promptly
be returned to the weighing department by the member, firm or corporation
receiving such certificates.
REGULATION 8.
No certificates of weights shall be issued on grain unloaded or transferred
en route unless they are applied for within a reasonable time after cars are weighed,
and before they have had time to arrive at their destination.
REGULATION 9.
A straight transfer must consist of the transferring of grain from one car to
another without its identity being lost. If transferred through an elevator, the
grain must go direct from the western or unloaded car to the scale and from the
scale direct to the eastern, or car to be loaded without going into or through any
house bins.
REGULATION 10.
All cars that are to be loaded with grain shall be in a suitable condition to cany
sttch grain safely. In case cars are loaded that, in the judgment of the Weighmaster
or his deputies, are not in proper condition to carry grain safely, the parties loading
such cars shall at once be notified, and a statement of the condition of the car
shall appear on the face of the certificate of weight issued for such cars.
REGULATION 11.

tificates not belonging to them shall return promptly such certificates to the

REGULATIONS ADOPTED UNDER THE AUTHORITY GRANTED IN
SECTION 22 OF RULE IV, ESTABLISHING <'THE CUSTODIAN
DEPARTMENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE OF THE
CITY OF CHICAGO":
I.
A Custodian duly appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be placed at such
private elevators or other buildings or places of private ownership as the Custodian
Committee shall deem necessary and such Custodian shall keep a daily record con-
taining the ofiBdal Board of Trade weights of all commodities dealt in under the rules
of this Association and weighed by the Official Board of Trade Weighmaster which
commodities have been unloaded into or loaded out of such private elevators or
other buildings, or places of private ownership.
II.
When any of such commodities shall be unloaded as above provided, the
Custodian shall promptly issue and deliver to the party for whose account the same
is unloaded an official certificate as evidence of such tmloading, except in cases
where the commodity is loaded out in whole or in part on the same day as received,
in which case the Custodian shall procure the shipping receipt or bill of lading
given for such property, and shall deliver the same to such party with a cer-
tificate for such quantity that is not loaded out — the two together representing
the entire quantity unloaded.
III.
The Custodian shall not allow the loading out of any commodity from such
private elevators or other buildings or places of private ownership, except as
provided in the second of these Regulations, until the proprietor or manager
thereof shall stirrender to him for cancellation official certificates properly endorsed
equal to the amount of the commodities to be loaded out and such commodities
•hall be weighed by the Weighing Department of the Board of Trade of the City
of Chicago.
IV.
The Custodian shall estimate daily the amount of shrinkage incidental to the
handling, cleaning or clipping of grain, also of any variation between the "in"
and the '*out'* weight, and report same at once to the proprietors or managers,
and it shall be their duty to surrender to the Custodian certificates for cancellation
sufficient to cover same. It fiirther shall be the duty of the proprietors or managers
to keep in store at all times, in excess of all outstanding certificates, a qtiantitj
equal to at least 3 per cent of the total quantity in store represented by out-
standing certificates, in addition to the estimated amount of shrinkage, as here-
inbefore provided.
119
120
V.
In such places where the commodities herein described are manufactiired
nto products, or the original commodity otherwise changed in form, the Custodian
may permit the proprietors or managers thereof to use such commodities without
the surrender of Custodian certificates for the same whenever the said proprietois
or managers shall furnish to said Custodian written evidence of the consent to such
use by the party for whose accotint the said commodities were unloaded; provided,
however, that the Custodian shall not issue any certificates for commoditiet
used under such circumstances.
VI.
It shall be the duty of the Custodian to require the official weighing of all com-
modities in each and every private elevator, or other building, or place of private
ownership hereinbefore described, by the Board of Trade Weighmaster as often
as in his judgment may be needful to enable him to accurately determine the
quantity of commodities stored in such elevators, or other buildings, or places
of private ownership, for the purpose of verifying the correctness of his out-
standing certificates; or the Custodian Committee may at any time in the exercise
of its discretion, order the weighing of such commodities.
VII.
Whenever, in the judgment of the Custodian or of the Custodian Committee
it shall be deemed advisable, the proprietor, or manager, of such private elevators
other btiildings or places of private ownership, shall be required to increase his
ordinary line of fire insurance upon such private elevators, other buildings or
places of private ownership and the contents thereof for which Custodian cer-
tificates have not been surrendered for cancellation, to such an amount as may be
determined by the Committee or the Custodian ; and such proprietor, or manager,
shall allow an inspection of the amount and character of said insurance carried
by such proprietor, or manager, whenever requested by the Custodian Committee
or by the Custodian*
VIII.
Whenever such a course shall, in the judgment of the Custodian Committee,
be deemed necessary, it is hereby empowered to impose upon such proprietors
or managers the duty of preserving the identity of all grain thereafter unloaded
into such private elevators, or other buildings, or places of private ownership;
or in lieu thereof, the adoption of such measiire or measures as in the judgment
of the Custodian Committee may be adepuate to protect the parties for whose
accounts the commodities aforesaid were unloaded.
IX
The buyers of commodities sold and delivered as hereinbefore provided shall
tender in payment certified checks whenever the party for whose account such
commodities have been unloaded shall give reasonable notice of his intention to
demand the same and the latter may retain in his possession the Custodians
certificate until such certified check is thus tendered.
121
X.
It shall be the duty of the Custodian at such private elevator or other building
or place of private ownership at the close of each day to seal the engine, shipping
bins or other bins, or to adopt any other measures which in the judgment of him-
self or the Custodian Committee are necessary to prevent the removal of grain or
other commodities from such private elevator or other building or place of private
ownership during the absence of such Custodian.
XI.
All such commodities unloaded as aforesaid shall be held in such private
elevator or other building or place of private ownership and shall not be released
therefrom except in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of this Association
governing the Custodian Department, but the Custodian, his assistants or sub-
ordinates shall not be liable in their official bonds or otherwise for any losses unless
such losses are directly attributable to the negligence or misfeasance of said
Custodian, his assistants or subordinates in issuing certificates for commodities
not in fact unloaded or in allowing, during the hours when such private elevator
or other building or place of private ownership is open for business, such commo-
dities to be loaded out without requiring the surrender of official certificates for
the same and nothing herein or any custom or private agreement to the contrary
shall be construed to extend such liability; provided, however, that the Board
of Trade of the City of Chicago shall in no case be liable for any losses except
to the extent that such losses are due to its failure to keep in force a good and
reasonable bond for the honesty and fidelity of said Ciistodian, his assistants
or subordinates.
