thincs for human need-tO tho actual wealth
Of the country. But money employed In buy
ing and selling products, solely for the purpose
of getting a profit out of somebody else. with
out regard To the necessary movement from
producer to consumer, cannot in any way add
10 the wealth of the country or the health OF
legitimate trade.
II is generally conceded by traders that TWO
great corners. in June 1887. and Scptcmber,
1883, have practically killed speculation IN
wheat. These performances rendered 1000
dcarcr. and were exceedingly costly to the pup
lie. The latter affected the price OF bread III
this and other cities, not TO the advantage VI
poor people who were consumers ana Sc! no
mart of the benefit went to the growers OF the
wheat. All Legitimate trade in wheat was rem
dcrcd unsafe. and host OF merchants had 10

irving TO gamble in prices at all. II Is GER
,ainly fair question whether such democrat

SURINKAGE ~ SPECULATION

Tho member, Of the Produce Exchange arc
reading with interest Il tabulated statement
prcparcd by al official Of the EAchangc show
inc the decline in the transactions there record
ed. Three years ago the recorded sales of
wheat amounted to I.727, 797.1OO bushels. or
more than three times the entire quantity pro-
duccd in the country. but last year it fell to
l,123.I4s. 500 bushels or little more than twrc
the entire crop. sales Of corn were GO. 0oo ,"oo
bushels in 1888. but had fallen to 253, OOo, 900
| in 1889. Sales of oats were "42 900, 600 bush
| els in 1888, and fell TO 90, 900 900 last year.
| Sales Of lard were 3.lJ9, 1G2 ticrccs in 1883.
and 34ii,lO5 only three years ago, but fell
| last year to 1,029, $50 ticrrcs. Ii Is com
planned moreover that even these reduced
transactions do not Indicate the full extent ot
| loss in business to the members Of the IN
| change. Formerly Il great part OF tn" buying
| and selling was for account of the public; now
tho brokers' for want Of other occupation. do a
great part Of the trading themselves. and seek
to make up for the absence Of customers 10y
betting with each other.
1t seems appropriate to ask what good eyer
was done by swelling the nominal sales OF
wheat to nearly l,72s.OO0. 900 bushels. Only
40, 600. 900 bushels OF actual wheat came tC
Ncw.York during tho entire year 1887, when
the sales were so large, so that the quantity
nOminally sold was nearly forty times the guam
tity actually handled. When spectators used
to talk about tho blessings Of "a largo market
the dear public Was sometimes impressed, bu
what good was ever done by selling forty times
over all the wheat that came to this city? Il
is the public understanding that about one salt
in forty represented business and the rest wer'
mere gambling on the price. and in that era o
wild betting great many merchants, and SOM
trusted officials, were ruined in honor and IL
pocket. Can there be mentioned any good &C
complished to compensate for these obviou
evils?
If that kind OF business has declined, it ma.
fairly be doubted whether the public has no
cause TO be thankful. Especially il the pub
lie. taught by experience. has learned 10 lie
such speculation alone. NO that the trading i
now slmost wholly by brokers and professiona
operators with each other. the country woul'
seem to have gained incomparably, whether tn
brokers have lost or not. Money put int,
