COAL COMBINE IN WELSH AND SCOTCH Four Principal Importers in Agreement with Montreal Producers.â€"Prices Fixed. A Canadian steer averaging six cents per lb. sold in the United States should bring $65.00 plus any advanâ€" tage through exchange premiums. Mr. Hallman was quite optimistie and believes the farmers producing well finished cattle will get worth while prices for his product. For the past few years there has been a prohibitive duty on cattle shipped from Canada into the United States. A duty charge of $2.50 cwt. put the Canadian 1,000 pound steer to a disadvantage of $25.00 and made it impossible to compete in the American _ market. if â€" President Roosevelt is able to put in effect free duty on Canadian cattle, which be bopes to do shortly, producers of cattle in this district will have both a local and export market and better prices for cattle are sure to result. If the Canadian buyer wants to hyy he will have to bid againsat the buyer wcross the line. ‘ Waterloo County farmers received the news of the probable free entry of Canadian cattle into the United SBtates most enthusiastica)}y. Acâ€" cording to Irvin C Hallman, former reeve of Waterloo township and perâ€" baps the best known shipper of liveâ€" stock in the county, the free entry oi cattle into the United States will mean better prices for cattle. Since 1929 producers of livestock were obliged to take whatever the Toronâ€" to buyer offered. It is estimated that over 6,000 head of cattle are shipped from this county annually and the increased price which is anticipated this year will put thousands of extra dollars into the pockets of the farâ€" mers in‘ County and adjoining counâ€" ties.
