The Market Controversy.

we surrendereu laSC week large
amount of our space to correspondents
in discussing questions about our
market The real grievance made in
behalf of the producer not being full
ly presented, we state their case for
them, as made by those who would
champion their cause, without other
qualifying remarks than this; that
the facts are what we, aud we believe
all others want, and that it profteth
nothing in the way Of proving one to
be right, to assert that another is
wrong.
On behalf Of the producer it is al
legged that combination exists
among the grain buyers whereby
competition in the purchase of grain
and other products is destroyed in
this; that only one buyer bids for any
article offered on the market, and
thatsf oil is bought by one, tho 9th
crs Mvasa fixed and definite share in
it's ownership.
This charge, made by class Of
men as good as are to be found in
any community, is denied to US by
the grain buyers in all its parts, and
no botter or moro honorable men are
to be found upon any market in any
state. So glaring contradiction
can only be settled by evidence of
the facts as they really exist. One
party or the other is mistaken.
Which is it?
To men alike worthy Of belief, cre-
dence is due to those having knowl-
edge of the facts stated instead of
those whose information is based on
madam rumor, making duo allowance
for the extent that interest mi ght
swerve him in his statements or
judgment.
Against the elevator it is asserted
by some that it will not receive and
ship the produce Of tho farmer. So
many farmers have stored their wheat
there and afterwards shipped it, on
the same terms as the wheat buyer,
as all others may. that it is unneces.
sary to waste words about that al
legged grievance. Tin fact absolute
ly displaccs all middle men but the
commission house to whom the ship
ment is made.
1t is alleged on the part Of some
that better grain market exists in
other places. This may, and may not
be true. The price paid is only an ap-
parent test. l or 2 cts. advance may
be made in the price per bushel, with.
out increasing the farmers gain if he
is cheated a trife in the weight. The
increase in price he would under.
stand, the loss in weight he might
remain ignorant of, and be satisfied
with the market, though defrauded
in every sale.
Every business man understa nds,
or ought to, that ono of the tricks Of
buyers, where there is no elevate,
with. regular. market lists for the ben,
eft and protection Of the producer, i.
to advance the price when but little
is onsths market. Of course the In
telligence about the market goes out
among the farmers in all directions al
tho favored ones return, an1 gener
al incursion follows, onlyi to find !.
greatly depressed market, with hun
dreds Of bushels brought there be
couse ofthe turning bait Of . few
cents more per bushel on small lot
than it was worth. What the pro
dhcer wants is reliable market; on,
that pays every day in the year al
