Canada Will Put
Wheat Price At
TheSdne Figure

The Winnipeg Free Press says Of
the wheat price situation:
'"The period for the present liked
basis price for wheat, S2A0 a bushel
for No. / northern, expires today at
the close of the market, according to
existing notice. Announcement Of
the new price to be fixed Is expected
in the course of a few days; 1t viii
probably be issued early next week
Pending the PRONUNCIATION OF the new
order, the trade will have to handle
what business they can at the price
the demand warrants, but II is
thought the top price will be fully
twenty cents less than the fixed basis
now obtaining.

winnipeg. Man, Sept. 1.-That the
Canadian governments price for
wheat will be on parity with the
United States fixed price, is generally
understood here.
The 1915 crop Of wheat was mar
keted under a government fixed
basic price of $2.40 bushei, but that
price does not apply to the 1917 crop,
which is now being marketed. So
far, very little OF the 1917 crop has
been marketed.
On Thursday. the last day Of the
fixed basic price for wheat, the quo-
tation was $2.40 in Winnipeg, for
No. / Northern.
