WINNIPEG GRAIN MEET
CONFERENCE BETWEEN GROW
ERS, ASSOCIATIONS AND THE
HANDLERS AND SHIPPERS.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Wfnnipeg Man., Feb. 1S-An important con-
delegates from Manitoba and Territorial Grain
Growers association the Board Of Trade, the
Grain Exchange and the Grain Dealers assocla-
ton and representa- t1ves of the Canadian Pacific
railway and the Canadian Northern railway. One
of the most important matters discussed was the
advantages or otherwise of making Winnipeg
an order point and sample market" The matter
was threshed out at great length and a resolu-
ton, which carried unanimously, was passed to
the effect that the time has not yet come when
1t would be we'll to ask for legislation along this
line The true inwardness Of the matter is that
the elevator men see no advantage in an order
point and sample market without mixing eleva-
tors and the farmers will not hear any sug-
gestion along the line Of increased mixing or any
additional privileges to mixing elevators.
This was plainly shown In resolution that
was brought forward but finally withdrawn, that
when cars were once submitted for inspection and
sampled for grading they should be considered
officially graded This was blow at the prac.
tice Of one mixing elevator here which is in the
habit Of turning out number OF cars, and II
they do not grade as high as at first expected
they are withdrawn and redressed. The farmers
c1ai that they cannot do this because their cars
come to winnipeg and are out of their control
A resolution that did carry unanimously was
that Of the ACCESSIBILITY of having permanent
salaried survey board Of three properly qualified
members, one Of whom shall be appointed to rep,
resent the producers. The idea in this Is that
the present board is composed entirely of deal
ers and tho when called together to survey they
do not know whether the wheat belongs to q
farmer or an elevator. nor do they know the
grading given by the inspector, In fact, they
are entirely free from outside influences, and
fudge the wheat purely on its merits, still were
the board permanent one the farmers would be
familiar with the names and would make use OF
1t more freely.

FUN AT A CHURCH Gym"
Interesting Entertainment at Park Az
enue Congregational Last Night.

The "gym' entertainment at Park

team was made up Of w. II. Smith, G.
A. Griffith, E. j. Lawrence, u. j. Stauf-
fer and G.. H. Sivright, and in five
minute pull they lost three inches OF
the spiked rope. The tug was the first
public exhibition on the new appara-
rus.
Thornhill Brothers did an entertaining
comic act in costume that combined
some excellent tumbling and acrobatlc
work with exceptional talent as funny

WHEAT STOCKS LIGHT
ONLY 100000 BUSHELS IN THE
NORTHWEST, AND 65,OO0,000
BUSHELS REQUIRED.

Reports received by the Daily Market Record
from correspondents turnout the northwest show
that 1872 per cent Of last years crop of
Minnesota, 1873 per cent of the crop of North
Dakota and 1865 per cent of that of South
Dakota in farmers hands Feb l. last.
Taking the government estimate of last years
wheat production a basis to work OH, anu
which report closely agrees with the published
Market Record figures on last years crop, the
amount of wheat held by farmers Feb. l
was: Minnesota, IL, s56, O98 bushels; North Da-
kota, 7.451 ,O34 bushels, and South Dakota,
4.921.71O bushels. The amount Of wheat out OF
farmers hands and held in interior mills and
private and country elevators on Feb. was
Minnesota. 4,045,55O bushels; North Dakota,
1,914, 500 bushels and South Dakota, 1, O41 932
bushels. total of 7,OO1,9S2 bushels. This
shows the total farm and country supplies on
FEB. l, last, over and above seed requirements,
to have been IS, 23O, S22 bushels in counties re-
porting. 1t is estimated that supplies held in
mills and country elevators not reporting would
making the visible and invisible supply in the
three states, outside of Minneapolis and Duluth,
practically 100000 900 bushels.
Minneapolis and Duluth on Feb. 1 had together
in public elevators 1854 900 bushels. This
would seem to show the northwestern wheat
supply available for milling and other purposes
on Feb. l, last, to have been about 30, 00O, 900
bushels.
The amount Of wheat required by mills at
Minneapolis. Duluth, Superior and in the in
terror, from Feb. 1 until the crop begins
to move is estimated to be in the neighborhod
of 65,O00,0O bushels. This estimate is based
on the suppostion that the mills will continue
to grind in about the same ratio as they have
been doing since Aug 1 last.
Last year the shipments from Minneapolis
from Feb. to Aug. 1 practically 100000
bushels and from Duluth 6,o00.0 900 bushels, and
out south about 6oOOOO0 bushels.
It is very evident that the mills in the north
west will require considerable wheat from out
| side states to keep them fully occupied as
is their custom. At any rate the situation
would seem to warrant the belief In not only
| scarcity of good milling wheat before the
| movement of a crop. but high prices al
well for cash wheat, unless there should be
| marked falling Off in the flour demand, Of which
up to the present time, there are no indications

Intent Of Congress.

1t is evident that the congress intended to
add by this proviso some requirement not con-
tanned in the last proviso of this section. Mr..
Olney's construction gives it practical value
and carries out the suggestion of E. Greenfield
Son & Co., and was no doubt in harmony with
the views of the treasury department. If. as
he requires. the foreign element of the ex-
ported article can be so distinguished and iden-
titled in the article exported, it is evident that
the article itself furnishes evidence which, tax
en- in connection with other evidence, would
greatly facilitate the detection of fraud wher-
| ever attempt should be made to substitute
domestic for foreign material. Where such for
eign and domestic material cannot be distin-
guished the opportunities for fraud multiply in
hnitely.
Mr.. Richards held that it Is not necessary to
be able to distinguish and identify the foreign
material in the exported article, but that it can
be shown from books Of account and other like
extraneous evidence how much foreign and how
| much domestic material was used in producing
the exported article; that after ascertaining the
| total amount of such material in the exported
article you may infer that the share of for
eign material used is the share Of the for
eign material present in the imported article,
and upon this formula figure the amount Of such
foreign material contained in the exported ar

Mckinley Bill Proviso.

1t appears in the hearings upon the Mckinley
bill that the treasury department objected to
a drawback on articles made in part of foreign
and in part Of domestic material, for the reason
that 1t could not be enforced as to prevent
fraud. In statement made in these hearings
by q. Greenfield Son & Co., they suggested in
answer to this objection amendment that
would require that in order to secure drawback,
the foreign material in the article exported
should be capable Of being distinctly separated
from the domestic element by chemical analysis
or otherwise. No doubt this first proviso Of the
section in question inserted to overcome this
| objection Of the treasury department, and to
| carry out this suggestion Of e. Greenfield Son &
Co. This is the only explanation that I have
been able to find In the hearings in regard to this
provieo.
That this proviso is intended as a limitation
upon the power to grant rebate is in measure
admitted by Mr.. Richards, for he says in his
OF nion overruling the opinion of Mr.. Olney,
that this proviso is intended a check and
means Of verifcation. The fact that the draw.
back Is paid ON all foreign material used in the
completed article and not upon the amount OF
foreign material found in the exported article
| (Which is always less by reason Of waste Of ma
terials) confirms this view and very strongly sup
ports Olney's position.

MIR. Richards Interpretation.

AS the second proviso calls for proof Of the
amount Of foreign material used the duty paid
thereon, and that the imported material be 1den-
titled in the exported article, cannot see how
it can be claimed that Mr.. Richards allows
this first proviso any practical use. In erect.
he holds that this first proviso Is complied with
if, in addition to the proof required under the
second proviso, 1t is possible to secure proof
of the amount Of domestic material used in
the production Of the exported article and proof
of the total amount of material Of the kind
imported present in the exported article. These
requirements, not specified by any statute, places
no limitation restriction upon the drawback
privilege, as there is no instance where this
kind OF proof cannot be made. Under his rule
the calculation Of the amount of foreign ele-
ment in the exported article becomes merely
an abstract speculation and depends entirely
upon the evidence within the exclusive knowl-
edge of the manufacturer who is usually the
exporter. The essential part of this evidence
upon which this calculation rests is called for
in the second and not in the first proviso. In
view of Richards construction, It seems idle
to require that the amount of the foreign ma
teria1 in the exported article should be capable
Of proof. 1t neither determines the amount
Of drawback nor safeguards the treasury.
Olney VS.. Richards.
Under Olney's construction this first proyiso
has plain purpose, it fixes and determines
to what extent the foreign material present in
the exported article must appear. To
make possible his construction, Mr.. Richards
found it necessary to give the word appear
in the first proviso technical meaning not
suggested or warranted by the context. Mr..
Olney in constituting this section gives this word
its natural and ordinary meaning. ''To appear
as spoken Of an object, ordinarily means ito
be in sight, as in the sentence, ''The sun
appears above the horizon" Mr.. Richards
translates appear to mean "shall be known
to exist or "shall be made to appear" thus
imparting the idea Of extrinsic proof not there.
The language Of the proviso is that the foreign
terfal shall r.' and not that IT IL
so be made to appear, or that it shall be so
made to exist in the exported article. To re-
peat, the proviso says the foreign material shall
so appear in the completed article, not in books
OF account. but in the completed article. that
the quantity and measure thereof may be as
certained - Mr.. Richards, In overrulinS
Mr.. Olneys opinion says Identification is not
necessary because the first proviso does not con-
tain that requirement. The second proviso is,
however expressly made applicable to all ar
ticles on which rebate is asked. and requires.
without qualification, that the foreign material
shall be identified; and 1t says that this tden-

MEXICO is IN NEED
OF COLORADO WHEAT

Railroad men anticipate large ship
ments of wheat to the South The
shortage of wheat in Mexico is ex-
pected to raise the price of Western
wheat and Colorado farmers VINO have
large crops VIII benefit. The Colorado
Fuel & Iron company says that the
crops will have large influence on
the wire and nail business. Good
crops will result in many large orders
for wire nails from the farmers, and
the C. F. x l. will receive almost di-
rect benefits from the crops.
The Colorado n Southern officials
say that reliable reports from Mexico
tell of serious wneat shortage. The
Mexican government will probably
temporarily suspend the import duty
on wheat. President Diaz will act on
the matter before July denver
