GRAIN VIA CANADA
Big Increase in the Shipments tc
Montreal.

Special to The Journal.
Montreal, July 16.-Thon1as Harling,
general manager of the Canadian Lake 81
Ocean Steamship company, announces
that with additions made to their fleets
the Canadian companies can now handle
60,000,000 bushels of grain from the west
in a shipping season of thirty weeks. He
points out that the withdrawal Of tolls
on Canadian canals has resulted in the
Canadian water route becoming much
more popular.
Since the opening of navigation. to
June 20 the records of the Montreal
Board of Trade show that 1865
bushels Of grain have been, shipped from
that port against $3.50, 900 bushels in the
same period last year. Shipments are
now being made over the all-Water route
from Fort William to Montreal at Az
cents fbushel, compared with 51s cents
from Fort William ito Buffalo.
Mr.. Harling considers that one of. the
greatest necessities is that more elevator
storage capacity be secured east Of the
great lakes. AT the present time, includ-
ing Midland Goderich, Sarnia, Kingston
