FIXED PRICE FOR WHEAT.
Russia IL Said to Have Made an In

Russia II Said to Have Made an In
teresting Proposal
Washing Nov. 24,-rhe Post this
morning says: A conference Of ma
tiQns on the subject of the worlds
wheat market is understood to he de-
sired by at least one Of the great for
eign wheat-growing empires. 1t is
stated in official circles here that Rus
STA is particularly friendly. to such an
idea, and it is believed she is making
overtnres, not only to the United
States but to England, Argentina and
Australia, which are the principal
wheat growing nations Of the world.
The idea suggested is that these ma
tons, should they see fit to unite in an
agreement, could fix price for wheat,
to be maintained uniformly through
various seasons of over-production and
unsatisfactory crops caused by drouth
or continual rain, and thus make the
principal grain staple upon which the
millions of consumers depend for food
almost as Interchangeable in value as
gold has become. This would equal
the producer in event of an unusually
large crop, to store his wheat and OBJ
tain thereon loan that would tide
him over until the wheat was in de-
mand in the worlds markets. when he
would receive a full and fair price for.
it.

Montreal, Nov. "a The terms of the
settlement of the Manitoba school
question as agreed upon by the Do
minion and Manitoba governments are
far from giving satisfaction to the
Catholics Of Quebec. Archbishop
Langeyin of Manitoba has sounded the
keynote of discord in an interview and
the French papers of this province
have taken it up. He is reported as
saying: Certainly the settlement is
not satisfactory, and what is more, it
will be far from satisfying Quebec.

betrayed, but 4 tell you there will be
revolution in Quebec which will ring
throughout Canada, and these men
who to-day are triumphant will be
cast down The fight has only begun.
