Holding Crops for a Rise.

1t oistresses some farmers i'm
mensely to learn after they have dis
posed of their spare crops that some
of. them have advanced in price They
fail to remember that ia some previous
year the same articles declined in
price soon after they parted withthem.
Neither do they consider the circum-
stance that so often happens that
nearly all articles of general merchan-
disc rise or fall as the price of leading
farm products does. Many do not
take into consideration the fact that
the money they have received for
their crops has been employed to stop
the payment OF interest, or has been
invested in something that has ad-
vanced in price more than the articles
they disposed of. Neither do they
think of the losses they might have
sustained and probably would
have sustained by shrinkags,
damage by unfavorable weather,
and destruction by insects
and small animals. They put
no estimate on the comforts they have
enjoyed by the use of the money they
realized by the sale of their crops, on
the pleasure Of having the store bills
paid at the time they were due, and
the consciousness OF having paid the
hired help what was their due. They
simply render themselves uncomforta.
bile by thinking that some rich specu
lator has made a little money by buy
ing and holding what they had to sell.
They often render others exceedingly
unhappy by talking about what they
are pleased to call their loss. Their
distress does not abate even after they
have learned that the price of the ar
ticles they sold has dropped below
what it RAJ when they disposed of
them. They go on grumbling and
complaining until trey have raised an.
other crop, which they steadfastly re.
solve to hold for a rise.
Holding crops for a possible rise for
which there is no apparent prospect
is an operation in the nature of specu,
lating, aud the majority of farmers
are in no condition to speculate
They have neither the capital nor the
knowledge of business required. Per.
sons who live in great trade centers
have much better opportunities for

From an Interview by "Gath."
Who has been the most successful oper-
ator during the year?"
William Vanderbilt, D. o. Mills and
Jim Keene. Vanderbilt has got more mon
ey than all these men together. You See very
wild stories printed about the resources Of
the large operators. l tell you that Van
derbilts pile is bigger than the whole of
them together. Next to him probably comes
Russell Sage, who has more money than
Jay Gould. Sage has saved Gould once or
twice. Two years Gould was practically
broke and had to surrender his Union Pa
cific stock to make settlement. He had
been bearing Northwestern and on the conf
promise had to give up Union Pacific, for
which he had paid par, or nearly 80, at six
is out of Union Pacific. Vanderbilt, Mills
and the rest are buying it up"
What do you consider Jim Keene to be
worth with all his success?"
"Seven million dollars at the outside. 1t
is more nearly apt to be somewhere between
three millions and five millions. If he has
got So, 900, 600 the best judges here are de-
ceived. Russell Sage has gotabout $12, 900,
600. Mills is rich man and prudent one.
He told me in recent conversation that he
was out of the street and was going into
real estate. He has bought all this proper
ty along Broad street and is about to put
up an immense office building, and he has
bought lots ON both sides of the city oppo-
site the park. Vanderbilt has alsoe been a
large buyer Of real estate. infer from the
general outlook, from the necessity of
something to speculate in, and from the
operations Of men like these, that we are
now to have big movement in real estate,
first in New York and then in other cities
of the country, till it resembles the real es
tate operations up to 1872.
