would be quickly followed by a de.
mand for a local option election,

CARLTON & BELL.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-10-11

Talk about your Dull movement
on the grain exchanges, but it strikes
us that the speculative fever has
struck the farming community of the
Northwest about as hard as ever it did
the grain pits. Barley at a dollar a
bushel (9S cents to be exact a price,
we are told, it has not equaled before
in forty years, seems to have set many
wild. There are farmers in this COM
munity who are holding from 200 or
300 to 1000 or 5000 bushels for an
even dollar, and some for more. They
often ask show much higher is barley
going2" They lever seem to enter
tain the idea that the price might go
down. Even the drop of 6 cents in
one day last week did not scare them.
The price worked back in little over
a week and that seems to assure some
that it cannot 60 down, but must on
tinue to raise. With barley at 30
cents there is hardly a farmer in this
community who would hold the bar
ley crop for 81 or ever 40 cents a
bushel. But there are those who will
speculate on a raise from 81 cents to
the dollar mark. When the specula-
tive fever is on, the higher the price
the more a man will risk. Now, we
would not advise a farmer to sell his
crop at any certain figure. 1T may
go higher, and it may take a drop
that will jar the whole Northwest.
But if this writer owned a crop of bar
ley at this time, you couldn't see his
coat tails for dust until he had it
marketed at a dollar a bushel-a cent
or two either way would cut no ice.
The speculative fever seems to run to
wheat, oats and flax, also. These
prices are high at this time but not
SO out of proportion as THAT of barley.
There is some warrant perhaps for ex-
pecting higher prices forthese grains.
The wheat crop is short beyond a
doubt, and there is a certain demand
for bread. The oat cropis very short
and corr is also a shorter crop than
usual, if reports are correct. This
leads one to expect higher prices to
prevail, although it is foolish to set
any certain figure. Flax is on the up
grade; in fact, it has been a wild mar
ket the past week. This is partly due
to the fact hal the filling of contracts
has been seriously interfered with by
the slow transportation. But, in
times like these, it is every man on
his own judgment-one is as good as
another, and not one knows a thing
about it. The man who holds for
higher prices is specializing, pure and
simple, and the man who sells even
at the present high figure may later
regret it because the price might adj
vance a few cents.
