The accompanying table illustrating the wheat prices dicloses the follow
ing facts: That during the months of August, September, October and No
vember, when the great bulk of the wheat crop was scot TO market and this
rush caught all renters and many who were farm owners, the organized specu-
latiye grain interests beat down the price of wheat in this country until the
price in either Chicago or Duluth, AS the case may be, after adding every
known cost of handling between Chicago and Liverpool, left a clear margin of
profit to said interests, during all of the time of the four months named, of "a
cents per bushel or SO per cent of the price the farmers got at the local station.
The table further shows that during the months of January, February
and March, when the spectators amd market raiders had gathered in their own
hands the major portion of the wheat crop of the country, the spread Between
the Chicago price and the Liverpool price shrunk until, with handling costs
added to the Chicago price, the margin or toll taken OF the basis of Liverpool
markets was but ~ cents per bushel Or a trhe over 2 per cent.

was there any justification for taking "a cents per bushel during the time the
farmers we're marketing their crop?
Where now is that bunch of cut throat magazines. the Co N rativeJ ournal
Pdce Current of Chicago, the Manager and Farmer and the Daily Price
Record of Minneapolis, who heaped abuse and utilization against this writer
because those robberes were pointed out by him during the time they were
being enacted.
The strongly entrenched and highly organized speculative grain interests
are n lespectors of personages, however, and with equal facility they take in
the wheat cover at N time and the corng grower at another. very much the
same as a pack of ravenous wolves leap upon a unsuspectng and defe nseless

Table Showing Corn Prices From Sentemher 70 March
Pierre weekly free press. (Pierre, S.D.) 1889-19??, 1916-03-30

Farm price as given in this table is obtained by deductng Zoe per bushel
from the Chicago price. OF course in son instances farmers will get a little
more,o or some closer to the Chicago price than 1oc. those living nearest to that
terminal and those living more remote, a price representing more than loo off

Handling cost. as given in the table, represents every known cost of
handling per bushel between Chicago and Liverpool, including insurance,
which vas and is furnished by the government. Cost, l per cent to British
ports down to = and u per cent to non benigerent countries.
1t will be seen that the toll taken by the speculative interests during the
first four months after the opening of the markets, when farmers were rush.
ing their oats to market to obtain money with which to pay their debts, was
80 per cent of the price the farmers received for their oasa at the local station.
During all of this time very heavy expectations of oats yer made, averaging
about 10 million bushels weekly. 1t will also be seen that when the spectators
got the bulk of the oats in their owl hands they advanced the price till the
spread between Chicago and Liverpool, after deductng handling COSTS, fell
kt, to about 10 per cent when the oasg got into speculative hands.

From the review of the tables IN wheat and oats Gs seen that the heavy
marketing of these products occur during August, September. October and
November. Hence, during this time the heavy tolls were taken and the wide

Proof of Enormous Losses

The following tables compiled from authentic market reports, whose
figures will not be seriously questioned, show the most aupendous robbery of
the farmers during the first four months after the opening of the markets the
past season,a as to wheat and oats, that has been undertaken on this con-
tuent. 1t ls indeed true that market manipulators, each and every season at
marketing time during the rush of marketing of any crop, manipulate the mar
kes so as to fix the price and put the price where they wan it,. Their
plan usually is to put the price at such times about at the cost of production
while they are getting control OF the bulk of the crop, then raise prices 81 as
catch the consumer as we'll ast the producer.
The only reason, therefore, that robberies are greater this year than at
other times is because, O account of the war, prices were 81 much higher,
production cost left more for them to take.
