Fine Questions Trade Actions
Washington AP Rep Paul A Fino claimed the grain speculator was the middle man reaping profits and causing bread prices to rise. He told a House Agriculture Subcommittee the Commodity Exchange Authority should have its budget doubled and be required to investigate trading practices on the commodity markets. Fine, a New York Republican, has introduced a bill to expand the Authority budget and mandate periodic investigations. He said the authority’s $1 million budget is too small to probe trading practices, but investigations have shown price fixing among speculators.
