ington for the removal OF the duty OF Ice
per bushcl on Canadian wheat coming
into this country, II IL figured that tho
removal Of this duty would lower the
price OF flour fully 50c a barrel, as IL
Wolld place the Canadian grown wheat
IN direct competition with the wheat I'm
this country which would mean the low
ering OF the price Sd4c a bushel. IL is
SAID that those interested In this move
inent are mainly New York people who
have been investigating the high prices

OF the United States who have erjoyed
the prosperity for many years should sell
their wheat now, as the price Is certainly
