CHICAGO, Fob. 3.—Appeal ha3
been taken by the State of Kansas
in an equity salt of widespread im
portance involving the validity of
transactions in contracts for grain
for future delivery, according to in
formation received hero.
The appeal is from the decision of
Judge W. G. Fairchild in the Reno
county district court at Hutchinson,
Kansas, on January 5, that transac
tions in contracts for future delivery
of grain under the practice of legiti
mate grain exchanges is valid. This
Includes the practice of offsetting
contracts prior to delivery date. The
Kansas statute under which suit was
brought, prohibits transactions in fu
tures, which there is no intent to
make bona-fide delivery. Judge Fair
child refused to grant an injunction
holding there had been no law viola
tion In the conduct of the offices in
volved.
According to John R. Mauff, sec
retary of the Chicago Roard of Trade,
wide-spread attempts have been made
in the last three years at Washing
ton and at tho capitals o{ the great
grain states, to place similar legisla
tion on the statute books.
"For several years," said Mr. Mauff,
“grain farmers all .over the country
have been in'(latently told by those
who would exploit them, that trad
ing ia futures was gambling, pure
and simple, and tha farmer was
rebbed in consequence. The result
of the appeal from .Judge Fairchild's
decision will be watched with in
tense Interest by farmers, grain deal
ers and politicians.”
The defendants in the suit at
Hutchinson were the J. Sosenzaum
Grain Company of Chicago, and four
otber grain companies with private
wires into branches in Kansas. The
suit sought to oust the private wires
from the state.
Several state witnesses testified
that they bad made transactions in
grain futures through the grain com
panies and that these deals were
closed by off-sets prior to delivery
date. Cross examination by counsel
for tiie defendants, elicited that all of
these transactions, had they nut been
cl.-i-i I previously, would have result
ed in the delivery of actual grain. In
each case it was established, where
May wheat, for instance, had been
purchased. It was off set by a coun
ter-sale prior to May 1, the delivery
date.
Mi
iiimmiimvmmmmmiiimmmmmmmmit
Tht' court stated that, these trnns-!
actions closed l>v set-off or through i
the clearing house did not evidence!
an intent to settle on differences:
within the meaning of the Kansas!
j statute. The original purchase was
! the purchase of a contract for de
livery of wheat May 1 The sale
pi ior to that date was of this con-1
tract. It was a legitimate transac
tion, according to Judge Fairchild.
Judge Fairchild in denying to
grunt an injunction, reserved deci
sion as to whether his court had!
jurisdiction to hear the case. At-!
torneys for the grain companies ar-j
gaed the hearing should be before a'
Federal court because of the inter )
state nature of the transactions.
