Bruce Walk- er, Commissioner of Immigration at Winnipeg, interviewed at the a Railway to-day, gave striking figures | regarding the record wheat crop | whigh is being gathered in western Canada this year. "The total 1915 wheat crop," said Mr. Walker, "will be 240,000,000 bushels. This is an dverage of about twenty-five bushels to the acre. Last year 36,000,000 bushels were | used for seed, domestic consumption and other purposes, and this year these sources will take about 40,000,- 000 bushels. There will therefore be available for export 200,000,000 bushels of wheat. To move this great quantity of wheat by rail would require 200,000 box cars, making 40,- 000 trains of fifty ears each. This would mean one train every forty minutes from Winnipeg to Fort Wil liam for a period of 111 days, or from October 1st to January 19th. Each car averages 1,000 bushels of wheat. The 200,000 cars called into service would cover a distance of 1,780 miles, a distance more than the mile- age between Winnipég and Prince Rupert, which is 1,746 miles." tis, | STOCKS STILL GOING UP.
