WILL NOT RE FELT

Buffalo, N. Y., November 2S.-George
 ' F. Pierce, statistician of the Buffalo Elevator association, said tonight in regard to the communicating of wheat l by the Canadian government and it's effect here:
 The governments action will not alter the grain situation here an iota. | We already have elevated and shipped east this season 40,000,000 bushels of Canadian grain for export and we are l placing it on the seaboard more 4rap- ! idly than exporters can find bottoms for it.''
 Fort William. Ontario, November 2S I Communicating of grades 1. and northern wheat by the Canadian govern ment was entirely unexpected by vessel ! men and shippers here. Today the har- Dor is filed with steamers, some of them partly loaded, waiting for the govern
 ment's next move. Elevators al the head
 | of the lakes contain approximately 2,OOO,- 1 GOO bushels. An average of 2040,000 bush els is being received from the west daily, which will fill the capacity here of 43, 765,- I 900 bushels in little over nine days The l full capacity cannot be figured on, how l ever, as grades cannot be mixed, and it can, therefore, be roughly estimated that l 3S, 900 bushels will be the limit of the elevator capacity.
 There are more than 20 American steam CTS and 13 steamers of Canadian register in port. If Canadian grain cannot be sent in bond through the United States by way of Buffalo, as shippers here seem to think, the blockade here will be serious
 It is thought probable that the govern ment will suspend the coasting law. so that American steamers can clear from here and winter at Canadian ports in the lower lakes.
 Chicago, November 28.-The comman- deering of from 12,000,OO0 to 15, 5,OOOOO0 bush- els of northern wheat in storage at the head of the lakes and eastward by the Canadian government will have no per manent effect on prices in the United States, in the opinion of Robert McDou- gal. prominent Chicago exporter. T dare say there will be bit of a furry on the local board of trade tomorrow While traders ares adjusting their ac- counts, but that is all,'' said McDougal. ''The British government has simply adopted a military method of purchasing 100000 bushels of wheat There is still an exportable surplus in Canada of 11O- 1 O0,O00 bushels, more or less, unaffected
 apparently, by the order. No doubt the
 | dominion government will make satisfac- 1 tory settlements with dealers who have contracts for the wheat seized.' Kansas City, November 2S.-Grain
 men here look for no sensational ef- fects to follow the Canadian govern

crop, but only on Saturday were in- structions received in connection with the appropriation
 This years Canadian wheat crop is put at 350,000,000 bushels. For export the surplus is expected to exceed 200,- 000.000 bushels. The present order goes no further than the amount stated, but it is announced that large sup plies are needed and it is considered more than likely that more wheat will be required on similar lines later.
 Although communicating wheat is radical, it is not unusual in war time. The Canadian government is dealing only with the British government and the disposal of the grain so acquired will rest with the home ministry.
