The past three days have shown a, decided
improvement in the demand for export. This is
probably due In measure to the unsatisfactory
conditions i'll Russia.
1t is the opinion of experienced grain men
now that the Canadian west has not an alb
normally heavy surplus on her hands, altho
stocks both in terminal and interior elevators
may be larger. than was anticipated at
NE beginning VI the present week, II seems
now that navigation may close earlier than was
thought possible The tremendous storm OH
the lakes has disarrrnged many calculations,
and 1t Will be some days ut least before ship
ping matters are again satisfactory basis.
The terminal elevators at the port of Fort
William and Port Arthur suffered no such in
conyeniences as are reported from Duluth, but
for two days it was impossible to load, and
vessels could not get out into the lake.
