NEW WAR STAMPS
Canada Follows Same General
Plan as United States
Uses.
specia, Despafch to THE suS.


MONTREAL, Feb. 24.-The' Canadian
Government has authorized an Issue OF
War Savings Stamps to the value OF
S50.000,000 this year, and 1t Is expected
that the entire issue will have been alb
sorbed before the end of 1919. APP
peals are being made to all organiza-
tons in the Dominion, large and small.
and to individuals. to get behind this
issue and make It as successful as all
OF Canada's war loans have 80 FAR
proved.
The plan Is exactly the same as that
under which the War Savings and Thrift
Stamps were issued in the United States.
The IS stamp and the 20 cent stamp
will be used, the former costing $4.Ol
day and increasing l cent each month.
Announcement regarding this issue
was made by Sir Herbert Ames at a
meeting In Montreal. The chief needs
for which this money Is being raised,
he said. were the plans which the Do
minion, provincial and municipal gov
ernments will follow In providing OPP
portunitles for employment during the
period of reconstruction.
These plans take the form OF extensive
public works, railway renovation and
building and the placing of returned SOL
diers on the land. Another great finan-
cial need of the Dominion is for the
purpose of participating in foreign trade
with Great Britain and with the war
devastated areas Of Europe.
Sir Herbert, in discussing what the
war has cost Canada in money, said
that the expenditures for raising, arming
equippipg and transporting the Cana.
dian Expeditionary Forces and other at
tendant costs were In the neighborhood
| Of a billion and half OF dollars. Add
ing 40 this, he eaid the capitalized
| amount required to meet pensions ant
| disabement allowances. Canadas wal
| Indebtedness may exceed $1,000. 600.
| 900, or more than $3.50 per capita.
Heavy though our war debt u.s." SAID
| Sir Herbert, the conditions which at
tend It are most advantageous. Eighty
/ five per cent of the war obligation!
are held in Canada by our own people
| one-eighth of our population are Cana
/ dian bondholders and our obligation!
are spread over ten. fifteen and twenty
years and can be met as they mature"

The annual report of S. s. Kresge &
Co. for the year ended December 81.
1918, discloses net earnings after all
charges and war taxes OF S1.700,999, or
$3.50 a share on the common after the
deduction of preferred dividends, as
compared with earnings OF $1,S8O,9Ss. or
$3.50 share in the preceding year.
Total sales for 1918 were considerably
in excess of those for 1917, being $780,
3Os.5l3. as against $40. O90,7OO. But net
earnings after the deduction of taxes,
contingencies, &c, were below those of
the preceding twelve months, and the
surplus for the year, after the payment
of common and preferred dividends, to-
tailed $l,060.999, as against Sl,320,9S8.

MONTREAL OPPOSES
FIXED WHEAT PRICE
Dealers All Through Eastern
Canada Fear Effect on
Living Cost.
Special Correspondence to THE SuS.

MONTREAL, Feb. 24.-The agitation to
have the Government OF Canada main
tain fixed price for the 1919 grain crop
has met with no little opposition in
Montreal grain circles. Dealers all
through this section of the Dominion
are declaring against the proposal. They
argue an artificial price for grain means
an artificial living cost throughout Can
ida, which they insist should be avoided
{ possible.
Let supply and demand In the open
market level the price of grain Is the
way one local dealer sums 1t up. Whether
pressure from the west will be sufficient
10 force a fixed price is the problem
worrying the Dominion just now.
What the cost to Canada OF unlimited
grain speculation is as contrasted with
the benefits accruing from such specula-
ton Is the question most considered by
Montreal grain men. The United Grain
Growers, Limited. has given unusual
impetus to the movement which 1t started
at Winnipeg to eliminate grain specula-
ton,

Debate Value OF System.

II 1t costs more than the Canadian
people receive in actual benefits then,
dea 'ers say, some new method of con-
II o. should be devised and placed in
operation. Millers and other legitimate
traders in the option market are said to
receive large benefits from the specula-
tive system. SO that II has become a
question OF whether the market privi-
.ege overbalances the conveniences and
stimulus given to business by the option
market.
One Of the chief resolutions introduced
at the, annual convention Of the Saskat-
chewan Grain Growers locals. held here
on Wednesday. was that calling for
legislation fixing the price of wheat
WhileNthe organizat ton had no proposal
drafted to present to the Parliament. 1t
is understood its legislative bureau is
already at work upon a measure which
it will ask the Government TO adopt
More than 1000 delegates, represent
ing l.500 locals. attended the convention
- the eighteenth-and all matters in any
way relating to the interest and welfare
of the members were thoroughly gone
into.
Premier Martin, In delivering the ad-
dress of welcome. said agriculture should
be encouraged during the reconstruction
period and that special tariff changes
necessary TO aid the farmer should he
made.
Local grain men are much at sea re-
garding the export situation and efforts
are being made by them to clear up
many vague points. In a recent Ottawa
| interview, Sir Thomas White, acting
Premier, was quoted as saying that the
reason more wheat had not been ex-
ported from Canada was because OF
congestion at the ports"
The sun., 1919-02-25

ing urged the Dominion authorities to
permit the repayment Of the $4,000 in
eight annual payments after the first
two years. The second asked the Gov
eminent to permit such a loan to be
made to a farmer on leased land. II
being pointed out that in many cases
soldiers could lease splendid farms that
could not be purchased for the amounts
provided under the loan act
The sun., 1919-02-25
Crop Distribution.

What Montreal grain men are now
trying to ascertain is whether Sir
Thomas referred TO Canadian ports or TO
the ports of discharge on the other side
of the ocean.
OF the total ctop OF grain In Canada
last year---a total of $50. 900, 900 bushels
--one-half. or so, 600. 900 bushels was in
tended for home consumption and seed
and the remainder was to be turned over
to export channels Thirty-f1ve million
bushels of the remaining S0.000000 were
to be turned over to the grain brokers
to handle for export but Montreal grain
men declare that only 10000, 900 bushels
or less has been sent out from the
Dominion.
when we made the arrangement with
the grain board at Ottawa" a local grain
man Is quoted as saying, at was under
stood this 35,00O.000 bushels for export
would have precedence over other grain.
However CanadnFHts were noce
for Canadian grain alone. Large guam
titles of American grain were handled
through our ports and we understand
that Australian grain was also handled
through our ports.
las a matter of fact there Is a large
quantity of American oats at the bay
ports at present awaiting export. Had
the Canadian ports been used exci-
sively for the handling OF Canadian
wheat We believe the whole of the 80.
900 900 bushels would have been out Of
Canada long ere this"

Gables from Canadian sources In Lon
don show that reconstruction orders are
developing but slowly, further delay
being quite evidently due to the lack OF
more definite decisions at the Peace
Conference.
Market in the Balkans.
In authoritative quarters the belief is
still held that the best immediate market
for Canada will prove to be the Balkan
States. 1t is stated that France will
purchase to the extent of about s25, 000.-
900. II credit Is accepted. but principally
horses. lumber and similar Canadian
products. A more diversified business Is
expected from the Balkan States. and
