WEEKLY MARKET. LETTER. 1
Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc.,
Board of Trade Brokers, 731 to 714 Chamber or
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.
- Since Leiter failed the outsider has
. not been interested in Chioago prices.
The disastrous, outcome to the man
with so many millions was a terrifying
lesson to the small bull.' Explanations
did not count. Whether Leiter made ,
egregious errors or, not was- of little
consequence. The defeat, after a year's
campaign, of the bull leader who for
so long seemed the greatest who had
ever arisen, took the heart from every-
one who had believed in his cause. It
was only last June that the disaster
took place; about four months ago. It
seems a long interval, but it is really a
short one, and it would be' remarkable
if it were not still in everyone's mind.
What new bull leader would now invite
the comparisons which would inevitably
be made; what banking ooncern would
hazard the criticism which would fol
low any favors toward a buying cam
paign in grain? Have the losses of last
summer's oollapse been forgotten yet?
There must be a good deal imaginative .
about any bull deal. ' Not one advance
in twenty is a mere matter of consump
tive demand or of actual soaroity.
There must be a great deal of theory
with advancing prices; people must
forget prudence, become venturesome,
permit more or less exhiliration.
Would it not be like holding a picnic
at the close of a funeral to permit much -bull
spirit within 'four months of the
Leiter failure? ; ','. ,
The present movement of wheat to
market is the heaviest ever known 11,
000,000 bushels received at primary
points last week. There was never any
such total as that in six days before.
Is not the speculator doing pretty well
in taking care of that property and in
a)so maintaining price's? Is not the fact
that such a volume of grain is financed
and the price sustained evidence that .
the volume of speculation is larger than
the ' very narrow fluctuations would
indicate? 1
