country millers, etc.
Now, If the Duluth Board of
Trade has monopoly of the Duluth
market in whose interest is the
monopoly conducted? Will anyone
believe that the more than 120
members whose direct interest lies
in getting the best price pos
sible for their grain let the
less than thirty-five or forty who are
interested in the buying side control
the market? The accusation of mon
opoly does not stand the test of rea-
son. The idea that all of the men,
bers of the exchange are banded to-
gether as a unit to prey upon the
outsider is without foundation. The
widely divergent character of their
individual interests makes that an
impossibility.
Hear the testimony of an outside
Investigator on this subject of mon
opoly or combination in the grain
trade. A recent bulletin of the bu-
reau of labor statistics reported
the conclusions of ]. Chester Bowen
upon Wheat and Flour Prices from
Farmer to Consumer" and in it he
says:
I'm a survey of the distribu-
ton of wheat and flour, three
things are noticeable: The in
tensely competitive character
of the business, the excess in
the equipment for distribution,
and the desire for independence
of the people engaged in pro-
duction and distribution. **
Probably no other line of
trade is so crowded as that of
the retail grocer, and no trades
man is more jealous of his in
dependence. And the fields of
milling and of grain and flour
jobbing are but little less
crowded with men of like char
acter The promotion of COM
bination has yet hardly en-
tered this field. The producers
and distributors are still practi-
cally Independent operators"
The grain exchange is a great mar
ket place where trading is accom-
plished with great speed, in perfect
order, and with the highest intelli-
gence of Irice conditions. The ex-
change provides traders with all re-
quired knowledge as to prices and
conditions that effect prices. This
is information that he must have and
whose collection involves an expense
that it would be impossible for him
to meet singly This data, how.
ever, is not preserved for the ex-
elusive use of members but is dissem.
mated and becomes public property
as rapidly as received.
The congregating of buyers and
sellers on the floor of the exchange
not only greatly facilitates trading
but with the volume of grain which
pours into the markets Of this coun
try it is an indispensable necessity

Grain Exchanges, Producers
and Consumers
Macdonald Secretary the Board Of Trade

Are the methods of doing bus1-
ness on the grain exchange in
imical to the public interest or in OPP
position to the welfare of the pro-
Queer or consumer of grain?
The grain exchanges of the coun-
try through their national organiza-
tion January last, asked the Con-
gress of the United States to appoint
a commission to inquire into the
workings of the exchanges and
pledged their cooperation and as
sistance to such commission.
About month after the adoption
of that request resolution was in
troduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives charging three of the lead
ing exchanges of the country with
being monopolies, acting in combina-
ton, etc., and calling for the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate
them. Up to this time Congress has
not provided for any investigation.
This fact does not, however, lessen
the interest of the grain growers
and in fact all of the people of the
Northwest in the question as to
whether the charges have any basis
of truth.
Has the Duluth Board of Trade a
monopoly of the buying and selling
of grain in Duluth? If it has it
presents the remarkable spectacle of
an institution controlling commod-
ity of which it never buys or sells
kernel, which it cannot compel any
of it's members to buy or sell, and
of which it is powerless. even should
it so desire, to control the prices.
1t requires of it's members that the
rate at which they handle commodi-
ties must be uniform to all. that
the man selling one car shall be
charged no more than the man SELL
ing 100; that they must keep their
business agreements, and always
conduct their business in manner
that shall be in full accord with the
highest standard of commercial hon
or. Beyond this there is no control
of the membership, each being priv
ileged to conduct his business in his
own way and according to his own
light. ..
The impression that exchanges in
their corporate capacity act as unit
in the market has been encouraged
by those to whose interest it seems to
be to discredit them and to promote
that feeling. AS matter of fact
operations in the market are entire
ly by individuals and a most inn
portant fact that SO many do not
seem to appreciate is that instead
of having an interest in common and
acting as a unit these individual
members are in constant competition
and have interests that are of con-
flicting character. The seller wants
to get as much for the grain as pos,
sible; the buyer is striving to get II
as cheaply as possible; the shippers
and exporters strive for the lowest
price they can get from the owners
of the grain; the elevator or othel
owner tries to get from them al
the market will grant him.
II there is a monopoly and contro
by the grain exchange what elemen
of the exchange controls?
The membership is divided amonl
widely divergent interests. In tn
Duluth Board of Trade there are 2O'
members. OF these, more than 81
