HIGH GRADE GRAIN IN ELEVA.
TORS FROM FORT WILLIAM
TO ATLANTIC COAST is
SEIZED.
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT IS
PROPERTY OF AMERICANS
Grain Taken Under Special War Act
Is Estimated at 100000 coo Bushels
Most of This to Be Shipped
to Great Britain, France
and Italy.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 3O.-The Cana
dian government has Communicated
all high grade wheat in elevators from
Fort William on Lake Superior to the
Atlantic coast.
The action was taken under the
special war act by the Canadian grain
commission. The wheat seized was
of grades No. l hard and Nos. /, 2 and
8 northern. 1t vas the property OF
grain shippers and millers. That
taken is all which on Saturday night
was in public elevators at Fort Will
liam, Port Arthur, Midland, Tihln,
Port McNichol, Collingwood, Goder-
ich, Kingston, Port Colborne, Pres
colt, Quebec, st. John, Montreal and
Halifax.
Much Owned by Americans.
A revised estimate places the amount
at about 10000, 900 bushels. A con-
siderable amount is the property of
American grain dealers.
The grain was taken so that grain
exchanges should be affected as little
as possible. It is officially stated that
the price will be fairly adjusted and
the grain owners promptly paid by
the Canadian government.
1t is estimated that there is still
in Canada in the hands of farmers
and dealers west of Fort William.
$4,000 900 bushels surplus Of wheat
available for export.
1t is expected that most OF this
will be taken in the future for the
use of Great Britain, France and
Italy. The domestic supply Of Rus
STA is more than sufficient to meet
the needs of that country. Had the
Dardanelles been forced the surplus
of Russian wheat would have made
the present action unnecessary.
To Ship Wheat To Italy.
While the wheat just taken was
Communicated to fill an order from
the British government for a large
quantity of wheat 1t is understood that
most of it will be shipped to Italy.
The Canadian government will look
after the transportation of the grain
to the Atlantic seaboard and from
there it's shipment across the Allan
tic will be undertaken by the British
government in the same way that
shipments of oats and hay have been
handled for the past year.

particularly the states where the Pro-

the Progressives will be able to elect
many delegates in the 10 states where
delegates are to be chosen at primary

June. These 10 states will elect $50
OF the 9S8 delegates to the convention.
The senator will open a speaking

the Bulgarians have halted their

Balkans.
While at the present time they have
largely superior forces, the task may
prove a difficult one. Winter has set

natives predict that it will be severe.
Snow fell at Saloniki for the first time
in eight years, which is taken as .
sign that in the mountains of the pen.
insula, there will be a very heavy fall.
During the latter part of the week, al

French and British time to bring up
