CANADA SELLS SURPLUS WHEAT Receives Cash For Every Bushel of Grain. A despatch from London says: â€" With contracts with Britain, Belgium end Italy for the supply of wheat signed, and contracts with France, Poland an<l Portugal for wheat, barley and flour, now under negotiation, Can- ada sees her way clear to the disposal of the whole of the year's exportable grain surplus. So far over 800,000 tons of wheat are actually contracted for. It is expected there will shortly be an announcement of the sale of 200,000 tons of wheat to France, which will ba paid for on a cash basis, and a sale of flour, which will piVbably b© financed under the Fr«(nch credit of 125,000,000. It is understood Poland is dickering for wheat, but there is • difficulty in the matcer of payment, j and Portugal has enquired for Cana- i dian barley. Canada has not sold a • bushel of wheat except for cash, as it is considered our foreign credits should not be used for the supply of Buch a necessity, wheat being almost | legal tender in Europe these days. | The Dominion's greatest difficulty has; been to sell flour,- and Franco may ' therefore be allowed to use her credit ' to pay for what she takes in that line. ] â€" __% I Ontario's Nev/ Prime Minister Ernest Charles Drury, whs U likely to bo Ontario'ri next Premier, farms 2!',0 acres at Crown Hill.

A despatch from London says:â€" • Within the la.«t few weeks a feeling has ccme over Europe that en under- standing must be reailied at once on a pcst-war policy regarding trade with Germany and R ssu. In fact, there is almc-st daily evid.-'nce that this ur.der- sten.'ling has been practically reached already, and it means that Gei-many is back in the c!d commercial family again in as full membership as pos- sible with her limited supplies and eicternal credit handicaps. There is no getting away from the actual facts, no matter how much the English and French public would like to avoid buying anythlTTfe German, and the facts are that Germany has opti- cal gocds, machines, toys, chinaware ar.d pianos that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Such goods are finding' their way out of Germany in large quantities, although not with the old â- 'â- Made in Germany" label. .'America, England. France and Italy during the war labelled nearly every- thing w.ith the name of the country in which it was made, with the result that nearly every article now pur- chased shows its nationality. German manufacturers, noting this, have adopted a new Tiolicy, and one which arouses no animosity: They simply leave their goods without marks. France is carrying on a heavy trade with -Germany, and in aome cases even buying important commo- dities from her whic'n she formerly bought in England. This is due to the exchange rate, francs being at a discount in London and at a big prem- ium in Germany. French manufactur- ers are able to save from 50 to 75 per cent, on consignments of goods in which Germany speaializes. It is only recently that England would countenance any imports from Germany whatever, but it is now real- ized that Germany has not the large quantities of goods stored that she was reported to have for the purpose of flooding foreign markets after the war. So the policy toward Germany has taken more definite shape. She will have no opportunity- for dumping either in France or England, but the goods she can advantageously supply without irksome competition with the home trade are already being import- ed. There is constant discussion among lawmakers, however, assuring the commercial world that if Germany begins a trade war by dumping, steps will be taken to stop it. As regards Russia, British manu- facturers are convinced that with that country's raw materials and their own manufacturing resources the two countries could wor-k together to great mutual advantage. An economic mis- sion to Russia has been suggested. Getting the railways of Russia in shape again is the present great prob- lem, and it is not unlikely that when a semblance of calm lis restored Bri- tish capital will take an active hand in repairing and rebuilding the roads. This would solve the food problem in Russia, which is largely one of trans- portation, and clear the way for build- ing up a great commercial future which leading Englishmen predict is in store for Russia. selects, 02 to G8c; new laid, 75 to 73o.
