COMMERCIAL

Canadian Wheat

Although full official details are not yet available respecting the total wheat crop of the Dominion of Canada, the general tenor of this year's tale, so far as wheat is concerned, is no gearet, says the "Financial News," From a quantitative point of view tho high hopes of last summer will not bo greatly dashed, because, in spite of Angust night frosts. and of weeks of drenching rain at harvest time, the actual yield of the Prairie Provinces is) apparently not likely to fall short of, say, 22,000,000 to. 25,000,000 quarters. This will be a record so far as actual

volum

is concerned. But the quality of this big crop will leave something to be desired, the un- toward weather conditions which attended the ripening of the grain and its harvesting having wrought Buch widespread injury that the high-grades will be scarce this year. We cannot say whothor the forecast that not more than 5 per cent. of the crop of the three- Western Provincos will not grade" No. 1 Northern; but certain it is that No. 3 Northern, which last year would have been deaned low; is painfully frequent to-day in Winnipeg grading. Saskatche wan, which promises to be the pro- mier wheat-bearing province of Canada, and has this year proba- bly produced 25 to 30 per cent.. more what than Manitoba, scoms to have farod the worst of all the provinces, so far as quality in concerned, some proportion of its grades running as low as five and six. Alberta has apparently farod better, having fuffered loss from the cold rains af harvest time. To some extent the abundance of the crop will compensate for the damago wrought by weather, becauso even grados five and six have some commercial value, but it is grievous to think of how many millions which have been lost to Canada, through the vagaries of this year's weather. Canadian wheat growers and prospective farmera may cousola themselves with the undoubted fact that by the doctrine of chances next year's crop, if no larger- though the trond has been to evor increase the area under wheat in Oagada-is likely to be of much better quality. In the nature of things it is most unlikely that the series of unfavourable weather conditions which has conspired this season to deprive the Prairie farmer of some of his luard-fought- for money will again recur in our daye.
