neapolis. Duluth and st. Louis, 81 %.
Toledo. Detroit and Cincinnati, Sl.2S.
These prices would all be about in proper
ton to price of 81 45 in Liverpool.
To get OF the corresponding value OF
bushel of wheat at your nearest railroad sta
ton. you deduct from the price OF wheat at
the city which your wheat generally goes
the cost of transportation between your sta
ton and that city, and three cents more Tor
commission and handling
For example, If your wheat usually goes to
ST. Louis. and you find that it costs eight
cents freight to get 1t there. deduct eleven
cents for freight, commission, etc, from the
price of S1.23, rs given above, which leaves
you SLIP at the station"
This price the writer declares the
average, and then remarks that this is
no average year, saying: IF we were
the owners of wheat we would hold it
for much higher price" The farmer
is advised to sell Sparlngly, II he must
sell, for says the circular:
''lf q considerable number of those who
are in the habit of marketing early hold back
little while, the farmers deliveries would
fall short of the requirements and the effect
would be the same as if no wheat had been
brought in at all. -
The circular concludes with the fol-
lowing appeal and advice to the farmer:
They will probably call this move a corner
or trust because such names are unpopular.
ner or trust and move like this!
A set of swindlers have sold your prop
erty at a certain figure and want to force you
10 deliver it up at a lower price, so that they
can make a handsome profit
Their. manipulatiOns haveimpoverished the
farmer, and they calculate that he is sutfi-
GENTLY reduced TO be in perfectly defence
less condition and that his creditors Will
compel him to again become the victim OF
the Spectator. If in view of a large
daft Of nNr1n
by everybody, they succeed in fore
ing you to accept the lower prices for wheat,
what can you expect when the worlds crop
is abundant? Can it be called a corner or
trust that you refuse TO sacrifice your prop
erty because the Spectator has sold 1t Tor
you: Is it not your right. and, indeed,
moral obligation. to
Crush This SyyindIe.
when YOU have ii in your power? No credi-
tor will compel you. nor can compel you, to
sell your crop for half its value, when few
weeks patience will establish fair prices.
Tell your creditors and any one who wants
your wheat at half price. that i'll the last few
months hundreds of million bushels of
wheat have been sold by spectators. that
consequently the market must be glutted
with it. aud that you will wait until that
wheat Is eaten up before you offer yours
We assure you that these hundreds OF mill
ion busoels of windy wheat Will be con-
sumed very soon. Communicate this infor-
nation TO all whom it will otherwise fail to
reach or who do not understand the Ian
guage, and in few weeks the illegitimate
speculation which has nearly ruined you
Will be thing of the past.
Let no man sell the farmers property
without his consent.
uStrong and judiciOus efforts are being made
by your leaders, in different states, to put the
farmer in position TO defend himself against
swindling speculation. Give them your m
qualified and earnest cooperation, because it
will not always be as easy to defeat your
enemy as it is this year. and therefore pre-
pare in time for the fight upon which your
entire welfare depends.
