WHY CANADA GETS
THE WHEAT BUSINESS.

~ ktEFuGluAtu TTGSS.l
TROY, N. Y" May 3.-Apropos Of
tle much.talked Of wheat situation, it
should not escape attention that our
northern neighbors are keeping close
track OF what is going on. Canada ex
poets to raise a bigger crop Of wheat
this year than ever before, and she
counts on the American experts in
that line who are migrating to the
Northwest to help ler do it. Further.
more. Montreal, the chief Canadian
port on the Atlantic side, is arranging
to handle more grain than she has
been doing, and 1t is her beast that
already n ships more wheat AMI
dlour abroad than does New York, from
which she has diverted much of this
business: In fact, the assertion is
made that last year more wheat went
to Europe from Montreal than from
New York and all other Atlantic ports
combined. Montreal will try to dis,
lance her competitors to a still great.
err extent.
How has Montreal STAINED tils
prominence as a grain and flour ship.
ping point? The question is easily
answered.. Montreal is really several
hundred miles from the ocean, but the
ST. Lawrence Gulf and river allow
vessels of deep draft to come to her
docks. A great system of internal
waterways by which the products OF
the West are brought to her doors,
and terminal facilities that provide
means of expeditions transfers do t,c
rest.
The point Of all this is that Canada.
with far smaller population and
wealth, has accomplished a great deal
more for cheap transportation than
mas our W country.

WHEAT AT NJ PRICES.

In the middle of April the price OF
wheat rose, after some weeks OF spec.
~tacular advance, to war and famine
figures. Millers actually in the Kan
sas wheat belt were forced to pay
$3.50 per bushel. The Liverpool mar
ket recorded the highest price in thir.
Ity years. The Chicago price OF $1.29M
for wheat to be delivered In May has
been exceeded only five times since
the perioi Of our deprecated currency.
The exciting cause Of the rocket all.
vance was the speculation for the rise
by Mr.. James A. Patten, of Chicago,
and his followers. Back Of the ma.
nlpulation by these daring spectators
was a short crop in the Argentine Re.
public due to December frosts, whica
reduced the amount Of wheat that
could be exported to feed Europe, the
large needs Of Europe Itself, her short
acreage and, probably, the small sup.
ply Of wheat on hand in the world. left
over from last years harvest, though
there are conflicting theories on this
last point. Getting a sense of this
coming situation last fall, Mr.. Patten
bought during last winter and this
spring some 100000 bushels of
wheat to be delivered in May, paying,
probably, not much more than 81 per
'bushel. At the same time opposing
spectators, who had not a correct
sense of the situation, were selling
short" wheat for May delivery, as
the price successfully rose to figures
which seemed to them more and more
.unjustifed. When the snort sellers
became frightened at the apparent cor.
rectness Of Mr.. Patterns theories. and
attempted hastily to buy in enough
wheat to carry out their sales, the
p~yrotecnnics Of April resulted the
more rapidly because of the farmers
unwillingness to sell until the top of
the rising prices were reachei.-From

much enjoyed by many persons. A
very charming addition to a girls tea
table would be two little glass jars
which she could keep supplied with
the marsnmallows and marmalade.
