Court upholds legality of grain future contracts
United States Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the validity of ventriets for the purchase of grain futures as practiced by the Chicago Board of Trade and Merchants' Exchange at St Louis. In the case of Thomas Cleage Jr against Wy and others, Cleage traded about 14 million bushels with minimal delivery and testified he would not deliver unless forced to prevent contract closure. The court found no evidence of a wager goal and ruled creditors' claims based on wagers were invalid, keeping the contracts intact.
