C hteago, Doc. 15.—Ait answer to the liill of injunction granted Tuesday temporarily halting speculation on eggs and tying up trading operations on tho Chicago Morcantilo Exchange was filed in tho circuit court today b- counsel for the exchange. The an swer also asked that the injunction be dissolved pending a final petition for an investigation. Counsel for Barney Kavfman, who filed the petition for an injunction, and Russell J. Boole, city food expert, opposed the attempt to dissolve the writ. Mr. Kauffman’s counsel contended that the exchange, by allowing its members to deal in futures and to speculate, had forced egg prices up j-, cents ill the last three weeks, and allowing a corner in eggs to develop.
