WHEAT SPECULATION AND SUICIDE.

WHEAT SPECULATION And SUICIDE.
Within the last few weeks one suicide and
several important failures have resulted from
the attempt to establish and maintain an arti-
fetal price for wheat This attempt began last
fall, when the price Of No. 2 Red Winter wheat
was raised within a short time from 81 cents
to 81 30, and the parties engaged In the COM
bination fancied that they would be able to
dictate terms to all the markets of the world.
The immediate effect was O sudden arrest of
exports from the Atlantic Coast. In tho month
of October, when the price ranged from 81 90
at the beginning to 81 30 on the 9th and 81 10
at the close of the month, the exports from only
two customs districts on the Pacific Coast were
B,285, $50 bushels, -four included as wheat,
while the exports from all districts on the At
lantic Coast were only 303,30o bushels.
Neyestheless, the speculators persisted. While
the producers and the traders of the Pacific
States continued to market wheat at the usual

Special significance attaches to the decision
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission in re-
gard to the course pursued by the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada. The Commission holds
that this company is amenable to the provisions
Of the Interstate Act, and that devices TO eVade
these provisions are unlawful. OF course,
this relates only to business originating in the
United States The fact that the Grand Trunk
