The rate on ordinary letters from Canada for ctie continent is tire cents for the first uunoe, and three cents for eicb subse- quent ounce, so that this extension of tht> two cent an ounce rale to letters ad- diessed to our soldiers on the continent, is a uecided reduction In favour of corres- pondence going to the soldiers.

Why Wheat it Dear Italy is faced by a most serious prob- lem, namely, that of a wheat famine. On an average ihe production of wheat in Itjkty is about 4,*>r>7.44't tons -a year ><nd an additional l,5:U,l>5G Ions are tnnually imported. Despite *An abund- a'lt hirvest this year, owing to the par- tial raobili7jition of the .army Iar!{3 quan- tities of wheal havj been bought up by the War Otiice so that the amount left for ordinary consumption ha.«i been greatly diminished. It is therefore es- timated that an additional i,0()0,GOO tt'iis of wheal muHt be imported. Since the beginuing of the war the two central empires as well as Switzerland have been extensively getting wheat from Iialy, and owing to the exceptionally good prices offered many corn merchants cannot resist the temptation of sending wheat abroad. The majority of the wheat imported into Italy came from Russia and Roumania, which last year supplied over 160,000 tuns. Both tneso market* are now closed. All the wheat from Australia aud India is sent to Eng- land and it has been contracted for ahead. The same can be said of .\nieriaan wheat, which this year is almost exclusively exported t.o Great Britaitt, France and other countries in northern Euroiic. During August and September over 1,100,000 tons of wheat from the United States have been sent to England. So far Italy has imported only about 100,000 tons of American wheat and it is consid- ered very difficult that in future more wheat can jo imported from the United States.-Beck 8 Weekly. The Bruce County Council, in session at Walkerton this week, passed i grant of f<.'!0,OW» for p.itrio'.ic funds.
