the profits that are made in grain
speculation are made out of them,
says the Philadelphia Record. FIRE.
quently the moralists denounce the
grain spectators for enhancing the
price the hungry must pay for bread.
Both are pretty wide of the mark.
"The farmers got a law through
Congress allowing the Government to
regulate trading in grain. 1t was
held to be unconstitutional. Now
they have got another, and the
Chicago Board of Trade is likely to
test it in the Courts. In the mean
while the Federal Trade Commission
is trying TO find out from Armour,
who is not a grain trader except on
the side, what he does to the grain
market. He is giving some general
expressions the value of which is en-
HANGED by the fact that he broke the
corner of "Joe" Letter, but he is not
giving any details about his own
operations.
when man bets that the price of
wheat will rise with a man who bets
that it will fall the results are highly
interesting to both of them, but they
do not necessarily affect anybody else.
1t is true that the bet is recorded as
transaction and establishes the price
of wheat-until another bet is made.
If the price thus established is a low
one the farmer does not have to sell;
he can wait few days, or a few
weeks, and take advantage of an adj
vance. The miller does not have to
buy unless the price stays up, for he
can take advantage of every drop in
the market to buy the grain he is
going to turn into flour, and he fire.
quently protects himself against fluc-
tuations in the market by hedging, or
selling an option when he buys wheat.
The profits that are made by one
speculator-cal him gambler, if
you like-are made out of another
gambler.
"But there is a great deal in the
business besides gambling. A market
open all the time is of great impor-
tance to the farmer. If there were
no spectators to buy the only buyers
would be the millers. But the millers
don't want more than one-twelfth Of
the years supply in one month, anC
if there were only cash buyers there
would be very few purchasers, with &
depressing effect upon the price o.
wheat. The market would be gluttec
in the fall, and prices to the farme
would drop. In the spring Their
would be scarcity and prices woulc
rise. But most of the farmers woulC
have sold because they haven't capita
enough to carry their grain through
the year. Wheat would go up, AM
the middlemen would make bigge-
profits than they do now.
"The open market enables the farm
er to sell at any time, when he need
the money or likes the price. Furth
ermore, it draws lot of the public
Mr.. Armour for example, to "tak
fiiers" in wheat, and their competition
to buy raises the price. It is true tha
Mr.. Armour's chief accomplishment il
this line was to break "Joe" Letter
corner, but if cornering wheat is
helnous crime against society tn
man who breaks a corner ought tn h
commended. The great part of tn
speculative public buys when there i
prospect that prices will 90 up, an
that sends them up. The profession
ais occasionally sell short, but whe
prices are going down it is noted tn
public has deserted the market. Te
