MonopoIy Methods in Canada.

OTTAWA, Jan. 10. 9.-[Special Telegram to the
BEE. .]--Telegrams received from all parts of
the Canadian northwest report that wheat
is down 10 cents bushel below the prices in
the ruling markets on the American side Of
the line. The loss is having a serious effect
on the Canadian northwest, and is due almost
entirely to the refusal of the Dominion all-
thorities to allow re-entry certificates for
wheat sent over American roads to Canadian
and eastern points The restriction of ship
ments mad the effect of cOntining the farmer
practically to a home market. The ruling of
the department vigorously shuts out from
Canadian territory all cars sent over rails
laid down to connect with the Northern Pa
cifc. This fresh attempt to create artificial
traffic for the Canada Pacific at the expense
of the producer is denounced everywhere
throughout the Canadian northwest, and is
causing considerable criticism in other parts
of the dominion.
