Grain Prices Higher
In Canada Than N. ID.

Bottineau, N. D., Oct. l6.-Gcorge
z. White, well-known White Spur
farmer. decided to investigate for
himself the difference in price or
grains in this country and Canada.
He first submitted his grain to White
spur elevators then to Canadian ele-
vators on the same day. Here is the
result.
Wheat-Canada 4l.24; y. s. A. 81. 03.
As the duty On wheat into Canada is
l2c, the profit in hauling American
wheat into Canad& on that day would
have been 12c.
Oats-Canada SIC: U. s. A. Sc. AS
the duty on oats is lOc. the Canadian
market Is l2c better On oats.
Barley-Canada Soc; u. S. A.. &c.
Canadian duty on barley is l5c. so
there would be no advantage In haul
ing barley to Canada for the small
leeway Of Sc in price.
