Scarcity alone is responsible. —$—$ = The “man in the street” has become accustomed to hear of “corners” in many articles; of late years there have been attempts, more or less successful, to round up by clever and sometimes unscrupulous measures, the greater part of the supply of wheat, cotton, oil and other things—the purpose obviously being for one man or a clique of men to obtain sucha control that the price could be forced up to almost any height desired. Though the price of wool has advanced by leaps and bounds it is not the result of such manipulations; the extraordinary dearness is the inevitable working ofthe law of supply and demand.
