renee canals, which has been going on
for many years, is now about completed
and ii is announced that by September,
at the latest, there will be a channel four
teen feet in depth from Lake Ontario
to Montreal. Heretofore some of the
canals were only nine feet deep, and for
this reason the lake freight steamers have
has to transship at Kingston. With the
deeper channel they will be able to come
through direct from Port Colborne on
Lake Erie. the head of the Welland
canal, to Montreal, and there transship
their cargoes to ocean-going steamships.
At Montreal, it is said, the Government

immense grain elevator. AS the reward
for all this capital outlay, running high
up into the millions, Canada expects to
defect a large amoun of grain from the

crop report for July states that the com
mercial authorities estimate the short
age In the Russian crop of wheat at from
So,00o,000 to 40, 600 900 bushels as com
pared with last year. The deficiency is
most serious in the regions most favora-
bly, situated for export. The Prussian
official report on wheat is a little above
Fan" 2.3 being the technical designa-
ton. The Austrian outlook for wheat
and rye is good in all but n province,
that of Bukowina. Austria, Roumania
and Bulgaria are all slightly below the
average in wheat, rye and maize. \
French estimate of the wheat crops OF
Spain and Italy puts it at 3i,0O0,o 600
bushels below last year, the shortage be-
ing somewhat the heavier in Spain. The
wheat crop in France is represented as
satisfactory, but the optimistic estimates
made earlier in the season have been
scaled down by later crop damage. In
Great Britain cable reports of a sever
general storm presage considerable dam
age to a grain crop that otherwise werld
