Canada To Dec. l, 1912, by the same
figuring process Canada exported
around $4,000, 900. To Dec 1 Canada
has exported 100000 more wheat
than last fall. Her 1913 crop OF 207.-
coo. 900 is 5000. 900 above 1912.
Canadian visible is a shade above
last year at 2O,oO0.O 900. There is
total OF $500, 900 bonded wheat in Unit

For year ended July l, 1913, Canada
exported lis. 100000. On this basis
she holds about 10000. 900 to come for
