Montreal is to have a edmmistes of threa to enquire into all complaints regarding axcessive rentals and, presumably, to adjust such as may be definitely proved to be unreasonable and exorbitant.

The president and secretary of the City Improvement League have called at the City Hall on several occasions during the past week to discuss the situation with E. B. Decary, Chairman of the Administra tive Commission, and to decide whether or not some step could not be taken, by the civic authorities to remedy the exist ing conditions where this would appear to be required.

Mr. Decary expressed himself as being in favour of some action in the matter and communication was effected with the City of New York to ascertain the methods ang results obtained by a committõe ap- pointed for the same in that metropolis,

Interviewed at the City Hall upon the subject, Mr. Decary made the follow

statement: ge

Several complaints have reached the City Hall lately from the tenant associa tions now being formed to protect them joelves against what they call: enormous increases in rental values and in view of theso complaints the Administrative Com mission bas decided to' 'appoint a come mittee on house renting whoso duties it will be to act as mediators between the landlords and the tenants in such cases where the tenants would claim-excesive" and unjustified increase of rekkala,

THE AMERICAN WHEAT SUPPLY.

· NO CHANGE IN TRANS-PACIFIO FREIGHT RATES.

A Seattle dispatch says:-There have been no appreciable changes in trans-Pacific freight rates on flour in the last few weeks Steamship-lines are, offering space for June at $10 to $19 a ton for Oriental common points, but advices from the east coast of the United States indicate another allocation of vessels from the Atlantio to the Pacific service in the near future. With a mall. amount of additional shipping tonnage it is declared a brisk movement of four from Puget Sound to the Orient would start. When the ships are here, if they do come, then actual negotiations for space will be opened -

Freight rates are considered Be trife bigh at present from the Oriental buying: viewpoint - Silver exchange in Orient ports has overcome a large part of the discrepancies in prices free on board, Puget Sound, but the balance is not entirely éven..!

"Puget Sound millers declare the wheat,| supply in this country, is not nearly as large as the United State Grain Cor- poration has estimated it.
