Spec1Hl TO IHe JUurHa1s - " u
Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 20.-The closing
of navigation has not lessened the demand
for cars on the Canadian Pacific railroad
to any appreciable extent On an average
LIS, 900 bushels of wheat are shipped over
the Canadian Pacific railroad daily, and
yet the Fort William elevators are not
filed so quickly as this would suggest.
The reason for this is that an exception
ally large quantity of grain is being
shipped all rail to the seaboard. When
Navigation closed, Dec. s, there was IN
store at Fort William 1,O42,O0 bushels.
Last evening the report Of stock in store
showed that there We're 100000 bushels
The quantity of grain marketed at Ca
madam Pacific points yesterday was 49,
