Show AS GOOD AS WHEAT. The farmer, the Vannlnc Hill and the line of Atmotqiliorc "I see," remarked tho wlde-awako farmer to tho Buffalo Express man, "that wheat has gone up to 70 cents In Chicago, nnd there's a report that It will keep goln' till it gets to $1. Now, I'd like to contract to sell jou my crop for 70 cents. Seventy cents will do me. I'd rather have a sure thing while It's goln' than to take my chances on doln' better by wnltln'." "Hut," replied the commission merchant, mer-chant, "I can't ngree to contract for your wheat nt 70 cents." "Why not? It's goln' up to $1, nn' you'll make "0 cents a bushel. An't that enough?" "Oh, yes; but, you see, that 70 cents Is only n speculative price. It an't what they pay for real wheat." "Don't pay that for real wheat? What In thunder do they puy It for, then?" "Why, for options." "Well, what the blazes are options?" "Why, they're promises to get whent and sell It for such and such a price." "Well, then, they got to got tho wheat, an't they?" "No; they sell the promises again, according ac-cording an the muiket rises or falls." "An' don't they buy an" sell any real wheat nt all 7" "Not much," "Just buy ami sell wind at 70 cents a bushel?' "That's about It." "Thunder an' Mara! Wish I'd knowed that last fall. I wouldn't n-sowed any whent. I'd tied my grain bags to tho back o' my funuln' mill an' kept tho boy turiiln' It nil winter, till I'd tilled all tho bags I could get hold of. Hut it an't too lato yet. Uy gosh, If It's wind they want 'stcd of wheat I enn supply the market for tho hull country right off my farm!" Illessed Is the man who has found his work.
