family were at home it is not known
how the fire started. But before
help could arrive the house was a
mass of flames and in spite of all
that could be done the house, barn
and other buildings together with
their contents were a total loss.
We understand that there was some
insurance. There was high wind
blowing at the time which carried
the fire into the stubble field tarmed
by Ross Hoffman. However prompt
acton on the part of the men pre-
vented what might have been a most
disastrous fire to the surrounding

ton requiring the buyer or seller to
purchase or sell the entire amount
offered, is not permissible and is
hereby forbidden. All such bids or
offers to buy or sell grain or seeds
must be open for acceptance by any
member in lots of five thousand
bushels or multiples thereof.
The spirit of this order is that pit
trading shall be open and free, and
that our market shall maintain the
full breadth and fairness for all for
which it is noted.
RESOLVED, That the making of
pretended or fictitious offers to buy
or sell futures in pit-trading is I'M
commercial conduct and is hereby
forbidden; the purpose of this reso-
luton being to put an end to all
bids or offers which are not made in
good faith and intended to be car
ried out if accepted.
This regulation is very effective
in preventing manipulation, and
with this regulation in force, no in
dividual would dare to attempt to
manipulate the market by offering
to buy large quantities 'all or none"
above the market price, or offering
to sell large quantities "all or none''
below market price, for the purpose
of influencing the market. If any
such offer was made it would be ac-
cepted by large number of individ-
uals, to the great financial loss of the
parties making the offer.
In addition to this, corners" are
absolutely prevented in the Chamber
of Commerce of Minneapolis by vir-
tue of the rule quoted in the begin
ming of this article, relating to con-
tract grades. A corner" is posi-
BILE only where the supply of the
contract grade is limited. If the
contract grade were No. Hard, for
instance, the supply of this particu-
lar grade of grain would be so small
as to furnish an opportunity for in
dividuals with large means to pur-
chase the entire supply. and to force
the price to very great heights. with
the result of causing great losses
to those hedging their grain by sales
of the contract grade. 1t is therefore
important that the quantity of con-
tract grade shall at all times be rea-
sonably great. The Chamber Of
Commerce regulation in this matter
is most excellent. No. Northern
is the contract grade, but on all
sales of No. / Northern for future
delivery No. 2 Northern can be ap-
piled at discount of 3h cents.
This spread is somewhat larger than
is ordinarily the case, and there
fore No. 2 Northern is very rarely
actually applied because it is worth
more than 3k cents less than No. l
Northern.
Should, however, the weather con-
ditions during the harvest be ad-
verse, with the result that the guam.
tity of No. Northern grade be con.
siderably reduced, then No. 2 North.
ern could be applied at the discount
of 3k cents on future contracts
and this so greatly increases the to
tai quantity of deliverable grain a.
to make corner almost an impossi
bility.
In other words, the Chamber O
Commerce of Minneapolis is deter
mined to make this safe market fol
hedging nucnQSeS and while thI

loses and bucket shops are gambling
dens of the worst character.
The speculator who is competent
financially and educationally to en-
gage in this line of work is perform
ing precisely the same service that
the fire insurance companies per-
form, who assume the fire hazard on
property generally.
1t must be borne in mind that the
bulk of work is performing precisely
the same service that the fire insur-
ance companies perform, who assume
the fire hazard on property gen.
orally.
1t must be borne in mind that the
bulk of the crop is marketed by
producers within a few months after
the harvest, and thus years supply
is thrown upon the market during a
fraction of the year. During Septem-
Der, October, November and Deem
Der, the supplies of grain which are
delivered to the local and terminal
markets are vastly in excess of the
consumptive demand during that
period. Were it not for the specu-
lator, the result would be that the
bottom would fall out of prices dur
ing the heavy crop moving period.
Because of the producers desire to
convert the bulk of their crop into
cash Immediately after the harvest,
it becomes necessary for someone to
carry" this surplus until such time
as it may be needed. And this is the
work of the Spectator. Estimating
the total supply, and the probable
total demand during the entire year,
he purchases the surplus marketed
during the fall months for May and
July delivery. This wheat is actual
ly carried in local or terminal ele-
vators, but the speculative risk con-
nected Herewith is borne by the
Spectator. The general effect of
speculation is to moderate the fluctu-
ations in value. 1t tends to main
tain the price in the fall, during the
heavy marketing period, when the
price would otherwise sink to very
low levels, and on the other hand
tends to prevent exaggerated values
in the late summer, when the crop is
to a large degree exhausted. In
other words, speculation tends to
steady prices, and to prevent their
being much above or below what the
theoretical price should be, if the
total years supply and demand were
actually known.
The so-called kyle Commission, /"
appointed by the United States con-
gross to investigate market condi-
tions, reported favorably regarding
the useful function of speculation.
This Kyle commission was appoint
ed strictly in the interests of pro-
ducers, and the conclusion of this
commission was that only that class
of farm produce was handled, and
could be handled on a narrow mar
gin of profit between the producer
and consumer, that could be sold for
future delivery, and that sales for flu.
ture delivery were made practicable
only through the speculative pur
chases and sales for future delivery
This Commission called attention tt
the fact that in Germany at one time
future trading in grain was forbid
den with the result that the price
of grain to the producer was re
duced greatly, without resulting IL

the price existing before the advance.
On the other hand, should wheat
have declined cents per bushel he
would have made profit of 5 cents
per bushel through the decline, in
addition to the profit existing on the
sale of the flour at the time of the
sale, due to the fact that the wheat
could be purchased at cents less
than the price prevailing at the time
the flour sale was made.
Hedging purchases and hedging
sales, therefore, add greatly to the
security of the grain and milling
business. They prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of speculative profits, but also
prevent speculative losses; and all
branches of the grain trade, and
those engaged in the milling business
or the crushing of flaxseed, are quite
willing to give up the possibility of
speculative gains in order to avoid
speculative losses.
When the farmers elevator COM
pany, independent dealer, line eleva-
tor company and terminal elevator
operator or dealer, conduct their
business in safe manner by hedging
all purchases or sales, the result is
that the banking interests fur
nish very large portion of the
money necessary to carry on the
grain and milling business-are will
ling to furnish much larger sums
than would otherwise be the case and
at much lower rate of interest.
This reduction in the rate of inter-
est required on account of the secur-
ity and the safeguard thrown around
the grain and milling business
through the system of hedging by
sales for future delivery greatly de-
creases the cost of distribution and
is one of the reasons why grain that
can be hedged by sales for future de-
livery is handled and can be handled
on a much narrower margin of profit
than grain or produce which cannot
be hedged or sold for future delivery.
In fact, therefore, hedging is an
insurance against real and ever
present hazard in business. Every
leading grain exchange, such as the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
renders in this respect function as
legitimate and useful as our life and
fire insurance companies, and in fact
they should be regarded as among
the greatest insurance interests in
existence. Here type of risk is un-
derwritten that is so dangerous that
no private insurance company has
ever wanted to underwrite the same.
A purchaser of large amounts of
grain and cotton who does not enter
the futures market for hedging pur-
poses speculates as really as if he
purchased the future" for specula-
tive purposes.
The risk of losing the small trade
profit, and many times more than
this, must be apparent when we re-
fleet that each years crop is financed
to 80 per cent of its value on bor-
rowed funds, and that value often
changes in week or two by several
times the trade profit expected.
The speculative risk is a danger
Gus one, and the chance of heavy
loss many times greater than that
connected with many forms of insur-
ance. This practice of hedging is
now almost universal in the grain
and milling business, and in the cot
ton trade. Some criticism has been
