Advantage to Buyers Seen.

Grain men are by no means confident
that the Government will get out OF
this bargain without loss. They feel
that the European purchasers are actu-
ated by a sole desire to get their neces-
sary foodstuffs at the lowest possible
price and that the absence Of trading in
futures will give the buyers great ad-
vantage when the big bulk OF the crop
comes suddenly upon the market IT
any seller on this continent gets better
deal than any other they feel that 1t
will be the American Controller, with his
enormous resources of cash and credit
his superior transportation facilities and
the political and financial prestige of his
great nation behind him. At the same
time, whether the Government loses or
not, II is admitted that 1t had 10 do
pomething to prevent the Canadian farm

far below that guaranteed to his Amer

may be used for Improvement of plant

quiring securities of companies with
which Shawinigan does business. Owing
to the existing first mortgage being
closed at S5,000.000. the company has
been compelled TO finance it's rapid ex-

kind of security which is familiar to the
