HALTS WHEAT IMPORTS.
Effect of Higher Duty Ordered on
Canadian Product.

Increase OF IL cents in duty on
wheat imports from Canada, placed
in effect April by presidential order,
has practically stopped such imports,
according to figures made available g
yesterday at the Commerce Depart
mert. The duty was increased by
President Coolidge from 80 to 42
cents a bushel under the flexible pro-
visions of the tariff law.
The figures show that wheat i'm.

ceding April 6 were 2.2So.000 bushels,
while only $1,000 bushels were i'm
ported during the week after the or

week show an almost negligible
amount of wheat imported.
Wheat imports from Canada into
bonded mills for grinding, to be ex-
ported again, are not affected by the
increased duty and are not included
