What are "BuIIs and Bears"

The man who buys grain in a great
terminal market in large quantities
because he believes the price will be
higher has been in commercial par

who sells grain because he believes at
some future time he will be able to
purchase that grain at a lower price
than at the original price, has been
termed bear"
The "bull" conserves the Interest OF
the producer by purchasing grain be-
cause he believes It will be eventually

quantities OF grain are shipped into
the terminal markets during the sum.

The MARKETING OF GRAIN
By J. Ralph PlekeIl, seey. Council Of
Grain ENHANCES.


The increased production of grain
and its distribution at a minimum
cost. is the most important economic
problem confronting the American
people. The Grain Exchanges of the
United States are making an intelli-
gent effort to solve this problem. The
medium through which the work is
being accomplished is an organiza-
tion known as the Council OF Grain
Exchanges, which is now composed of
sixteen of the leading Exchanges Of
TIE United States.
Two meetings are held each year.
The first upon the third Thursday in
January. and the second, upon the
third Monday in June. Each exchange
Is entitled TO not more than two vot-
ing delegates. Problems involving the
production and distribution OF cereals
are discussed at these meetings. and
recommendation are made by tho
Council to the various Grain Ex-
changes which are its members.
Marketing the Surplus.
The antics of the "bull" and the
bear" have not been clear. This is
rot TO be wondered at. The problem
confronting the Grain Exchanges is
that of marketing at a minimum of
profit the surpusage of the 5000 mil
lion bushels of grain produced in this
country annually In order to market
this grain at the least possible cost,
system of future trading has been de-
veloped, Naturally It has been so
rapid that many evils have clung to
the system. In fact the development
OF the United States as a Commercial
Nation has been astoundingly swift
The first railroad in the United
States which daily carried traffic,
was opened in 1886; the first steamer
TO cross the Atlantic made the trip in
1898; the first commercial telegram
was sent in 1897 and the first cable
flashed underneath the ocean, was in
1896. Within three generations this
country has developed from nom
entity as a commercial nation TO the
foremost in the world. in point OF
production and distribution OF grain.
Tie. Grain Exchanges. therefore,
have been organized merely to faclll-
tate the distribution Of grain. Specu-
lation has developed as factor in this
distribution, and not TO control or
make prices for grain, but merely to
register those prices as they are made
by the buyer and seller of cereal pro
ducts

YOUNG "OUTLAWS' TO

Eighty young horses. who since
their earliest colthood have roamed

and Washington and whose liberty
loving spirit has never bowed down
before the supremacy of man, are to
know for the first time the indignities
which civilization heaps upon horse
flesh when they are saddled and
forced to become unwilling partici-
pants in the wild horse race of the
Roundup this month. By contract
just entered into between the Round
up association and hree prominent
stockmen. this number of wild young
bronchoes will be in the corrals when
needed for the most exciting race ever
saged in any land at any time.
George Drumheller, the big stock
man of Walla Walla, has guaranteed
to furnish thirty head of the animals,

owner, and James Roach, the local
stockman. have each contracted to
provide twenty-five Not one of the

with riders clinging to their backs, it
is a certainty that there WiA be

contests held during the entire per-
