Under the old system of speculative marketing the glut which might | temporarily afford the consumer ap- | parent low prices without any pos- evitably is followed by a dearth in the market, which made goods scarce and high priced and permitted the flooding of the market with inferior quality. In other words, the specula- tive or disorderly marketing system, under which the producer received little or no actual profit. meant a higher average of prices to the con- sumer than co-operative and orderly marketing assures him. At the same time it guarantees the producer a reasonable return on his investment | and labor. C. E.
