HEAVY WHEAT MOVEMENT
INTO CANADA REPORTED
Trade Body Official Says American
Grain Is Being Stored In
Manitoba.

BY the Associated Press.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, August I'll
The Winnipeg Evening Tribune Mon
day quoted G. Pieper, president of the
Gretna Board of Trade, as saying that
American wheat, which is selling at Is
and 80 cents below Canadian prices,
has been coming over the border into
Canada since the beginning Of the sea-
sons threshing. Gretna is in Southern
Manitoba, near the United States Dor
der.
Mr.. Pieper stated that last week about
/ 900 bushels from across the line
reached the Gretna elevators. The rea-
son, he said, is that United States wheat
pays only IL cents duty, while we pay
AZ cents to export grain to the States"
LAS their prices are 25 cents below
ours" he continued, the Canadian duty
does not offer our producers much pro-
lection"
E. B. Ramsay, general manager Of the
Canadian wheat pool and chairman Of
the new Grain Commission, the news
paper said, confirmed the statement
that wheat was coming across the bor-
der. Some of It, he said, was selling
at 80 cents below Canadian prices. He
did not know who the buyers were, but
apparently the elevators were privately
owned.
