GRAIN MEN ANXIOUS.
Exporters In Manitoba Alarmed by
the Soaring Rates.

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 8. - The big
advance in lake freight rates and the
scarcity of vessels are causing grain
exporters here much concern. Vessel
owners are now asking 6 cents per
busEel on wheat from Fort William
to Buffalo, but it is thought the rate
will reach 10 cents before the close of
navigation. The possibility Of not
getting much grain to the seaboard is
apprehended. High rates and the in
adequate car supply put the all-rail
route via Montreal out Of the question
as an alternative.
