Within the last two weeks a dem

given, when short selling was
stopped at Winnipeg. The flow of
grain from the farms was immedi-
ately checked. since buyers were
afraid to buy from the farmers un.

in some way against uncertainties.
Few things could be more uncertain
than the supply of wheat The de-
mand is fairly constant, in ordinary
times. but the supply is at the mer-
cy OF weather and pests in all parts
Of the earth-Southern Russia, In.

and wide areas of the United states.
Wheat is being placed or harvested

Buying wheat to grind, with the
prospect that wheat may go down.

time the wheat is ground up, is not

course, the chance that wheat may
go up, taking -four with it, but he
wishes TO eliminate chance from his

crops. There is minor exception
in the case Of one of the minor
grains, where speculation does it's
work less perfectly. where by hold

would gain something, on the av-
erage. But there are few theorems
of economies for which so clear
statistical demonstration can be
given. How far speculation has fail

The risk bearing function is
scarcely less important. The grain
