ENT SEIZES
WHEAT IN CANADA
CONTINUED from Page y

Of the Winnipeg grain exchange were
filled with an anxious throng of grain
men, elevator men and transportation
men, discussing the situation brought
about by the Selling Of grade wheat by
the dominion government on behalf
at the imperial authorities.
To gather an idea of the tremendous
effect on the market, it is only neces.
sary to consider that this wheat was
practically all sold to fill contracts be-
fore the close of navigation, or about
Dec. 10. All this wheat had been pur-
chased at a premium over the cash
month and in the case of sales for
export had been hedged in some other
month or some other market.
Suddenly removing this wheat en-
krely out of the sphere of operations,
the dispositions to be made of untitled
contracts became a question upper
most in the minds of the dealers.
The opinion is general that no official
quotations for Winnipeg cash wheat
sr options will be permitted until the
situation has been defined.

lines has been noted by leading bank.

throughout the central Northwest.
Men in position to Judge declare that
Minnesota is on the eve of the greatest

The opening of the new steel plant
at Duluth, the establishment of new
manufacturing plants in Minneapolis
and St. Paul, the big wheat crop in the
Dakotas and a resultant resumption of
activities in q. score of lines that have
been quiet for more than year are
pointed to as specific instances upon
which to base the trade outlook.
From all parts of the country re-

Post Office Preparing
for the Holiday Rush

The local post Office is preparing for
the annual holiday rush Of parcels,
packages and mail, and arrangements
are being made to handle the prospec.
tive large mail SO that it will not be
allowed to accumulate. Patrons Of the
office are requested to prepare and for.
ward their parcels and packages as
soon as possible, in order that same
may reach destination on time.
The public and patrons Of the Office
should see that all letters, parcels and
packages are correctly addressed, that
proper and sufficient postage is on
each piece of mail, and that your re-
turn address is also on the package,
so that there may be no delay arising
through neglect to do this. Nearly
every day patrons of the local post
office drop letters in the box on which
there is neither stamps nor return ad-
dress, with the result that unnecessary
delays occur through no fault of the
office.
Postmaster Smith is arranging to
have all parcel post packages which
arrive on Christmas day for local par
ties delivered the same day, although
it is a legal holiday. This will prevent
delay in delivery, as under ordinary
circumstances, Christmas and Sunday
being holidays, packages or parcel
mail would not reach the addressee un-
til the following Monday.

as the fact that he is second at the
head of the department at Washing
ton. At the convention here he will
speak on 1.-The Business End of Farm
ing" a subject that will prove. highly
interesting to the farmers Of the three
states who will be at the convention.
Captain Smith is probably one of the
most noted characters in agricultural
promotion in the United States, not
only because of the success he has
made of farming, especially the live
stock end, but because he took up
farming rather late in life and made
good.
Captain Smith started out to follow
the sea. He was a salt sea sailor for
many years and it was on the deep
that he secured his title of captain.
Hoyever, he was not fully satisfied
with the ocean as permanent calling
and finally decided that he would

secured land in Iowa and started
farming, paying particular attention to
the live stock end. He not only found
that he liked the work better than sail
ing ships, but also made great sue
cess of it and has become one of the
foremost men as live stock authority
in the country.
The "old salt" will speak here on the
subject of Live Stock on the Farm"
a topic that will be of more than or.
binary interest to the farmers of North
and South Dakota and Minnesota, who
are to be present at the big convention
in January.
President Worst and the other Of
ficials of the Grain Growers are de-
lighted with the prospects Of the larg-
est meeting that has yet been held.
Word comes from all parts Of the ter.
ritory that there is much interest in the
coming meeting and that farmers are
arranging to be present and spend the
four days listening to a good program
on farming subjects.

Winter Puts End to
Great War Moves

London, Nov. 29.-The campaign In
the near East is about to enter a new
phase upon which the visits of Lord
Kitchener to Paris and Emperor viii
liam to Vienna it is believed will have
an important effect.
Lord Kitchener, after visiting the
Balkans and Italy, has arrived al
Paris for an important series Of con.
ferences with the French staff, while
the German emperor had gone to vi.
emma to see Emperor Francis Joseph
and discuss with the Austrian generals
what the next move will be.
Presumably it is a question whether
the Central powers will attack the
Anglo French forces in southern Ser
bia or concentrate in western Bulgaria
to meet the threat of a Russian in
vasion from the east and the possibil-
ity of Rumania taking sides against
her own enemies Bulgaria and Tur-
key.
So far as Serbia is concerned, win.
ter appears virtually to have put an
end to any important movement al
though the Austrians are proceeding to
deal with the Montengrins whose from
tiers they have crossed while the Bull.
garians are attempting to advance to
Prisrend and Monastir.
With heavy and continuous snow
storms reaching the proportions Of a
blizzard, those operations must be
slow, especially as the Serbians and
Montenegrins are still Offering stub
born resistance, Monastir, 1t is ad-
mitted, cannot be saved, but the Ser.
bians, who are defending the city, are
determined to resist to the last and
give the civilians a chance to escape.
Snow has completely stopped opera
lions on the Anglo-French front in
Serbia. the opposing forces who are
separated by the valley a mile across,
having lost sight Of each other.
There are no details Of the Greek
reply to the collective note Of the
entente powers demanding facilities
for the Anglo-French forces but a
dispatch from Athens says it is
couched in friendly terms and is re-
garded as paving the way for the de-
sired settlement which would enable
Greece to maintain her neutrality and
not interfere with the intentions Of
the allies.
Desperate fighting continues on the
summit around Gorilla; the Italians
claim to have captured more Austrian
trenches. but the Austrians declare
that the attempts all along the Isonzo
have been repulsed.
Artillery and aerial fighting have
marked the progress Of events in
France while in Russia an almost
complete lull prevails.

Ottawa, Nov. 29.-The following Off
cial statement was issued, by the gov
eminent last night.
"The phenomenal crop of wheat in
the Canadian West has brought upon
the government the duty of assisting
to the farthest extent possible in mar
keting. The supply of wheat the
world over is known to have been
abundant and the Importance of taking
advantage of every opportunity to pro-
vide for the disposing of our grain is
on that account greater. For many
months the government has been in
touch with the British government
with view to procuring orders from
the United Kingdom and the allied
governments in order that the utmost
share of the consuming demand in
those countries may be turned toward
our Canadian surplus. AS conse-
quence of this the British government
has requested the Canadian govern
ment to provide within a short time
very large supply of numbers one,
two and three northern wheat. :.
"The problem of meeting these re-
quirements and of doing so at such
prices as would induce the repetition
Of orders in Canada then confronted
the government. The effect of govern
ment purchases in the open market,
such as were made in different coun-
tries year ago, is well known to the
public. The markets rise abnormally,
adding to the profits of grain dealers
and spectators, who have purchased
the grain which the governments re-
Quire. The advance in price of large
amounts of grain in store becomes the
loss Of the purchasing government and
the profit not of the producer, but of
the owner of the stored grain.
ITO secure the desired end this year
the Dominion government determined
Saturday to commander all numbers

store at the head of the lakes and east.
ward. This involves the purchase of
anywhere from IL to Is million bush.
els. The price paid has not yet been
settled by the government, but will
shortly be fixed on fair basis. The
Communicating order goes no further
than is stated above, and Instructions
have been given that all loading now
under way is to be continued and no
delay whatever occur in the transport
Of the Communicated grain from the
elevators to ocean terminals. It will
be observed that the order does not
apply to grain in elevators west of the
lakes, or in transit at the time the or
der takes effect or subsequently there
to.
There are,of course, many ques.
lions Of important detail that arise and
demand adjustment and those will be
given the fullest consideration and the
promptest decision possible.
There seems no reason why the
grain markets should be radically af-
fected BY the action taken. Obviously
it does not involve any increase in the
worlds consumers, or indeed IN the
worlds consumers demands. 1t means
