A columnist argues that grain futures speculation stabilizes prices for farmers and elevators, warning that banning it would concentrate grain trade power with large firms. The piece cites Senator Washburn and Hatch bill history, noting farmers face crop risks while markets hedge price exposure. It also notes an anticipated heavy migration season and Canada’s rail passenger outlook.
Farmers' Advocate notes a 2 year old charter granted to a subsidy company linked to Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to operate grain elevators. The article warns government ownership could give regulators more power and provoke opposition from railway stockholders, while arguing public benefit should be demonstrated before wide public use.
The Grand Trunk Pacific will sell sixty two town sites west of Winnipeg in a spring sale. Rivers and Leaver Lake are among ready sites with prices for town lots ranging from 100 to 500 dollars at divisional points. Smaller sites will be priced lower, with fixed prices and precedence based on applications. Prospective buyers have already sent requisitions to the sale office.
