Dec. 10 Value of Canada'! principal field crops this year jumped $85,000,000 the Dominion Bureau of Stalistics reported Wednesday. Although yields were lower, the aggregate value mounted to $594,139,000 compared with $508,910,000 In 1935. Higher prices were chiefly responsible for giving 1936 crops a higher value than In any year since 1930. Although the wheat yield was down 44,000,000 bushels, an Increase of about 25 cents a bushel In the price gava an advance of $30,000,000 In gross value.

The oat crop was worth $16,000,000 more due to a 16 cent per bushel rise. Similarly barley production was up $19,000,000 more. Decreases In value are shown for rye, peas, corn for husking, fodder corn and grain hay, but in the artgregalt they did not appreciably affect the relatively large Increases for wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat, mixed grains, potatoes, turnips, hay and clover, and auaua.

The report of the Board of Grain Commissioners on the movement of western grain during November Issued Wednesday, snows a heavy export business In Canadian wheat and barley, and Indicates that the Canadian supply of wheat available for export is only sufficient for four months, If present ratt of export continues. The report follows: For the first four months of the current crop year export clearances of Canadian wheat, including imports into the US.A., exceed those of the same period of any year since 1932.

Preliminary official returns only of U.S.A. imports are available for weekly periods in October and November and revisions are usually substantially upward, so the grand total for the four months' period should exceed 93 million bushels cleared from all ports, as compared with 67,668,707 bushels in the same period a year ago and 102.313,350 bushels in 1932 the high point in the last six years at least November was the best month since 1932, Canadian seaboard ports shipping 20.9 million of the 25, 800,604 bus. e'eared. At the closing of navigation on the Great Lakes St Lawrence route this season, tiie Canadian wheat position is better than for a number of years. The visible supply total is down to 120 millions as compared with 271 million a year ago; this years' total being the lowest since August, 1932, and the lowest at the close of navigation since 1926.

If exports during the remainder of the season were continued at the monthly average of the past four months the Canadian surplus would be almost entirely disposed of A brisk export business has been done In Canadian wheat in Winnipeg recently and possibility of Great Britain accumulating a reserve In case of urgent need, had the effect of raising price levels In Liverpool and Winnipeg markets. FORMER WINNIPEG MAN HEADS NATIONAL LIBERAL FEDERATION OTTAWA, Dec. 10. Norman P. Lambert of Ottawa, formerly of Winnipeg, was elected president of the National Liberal Federation by unanimous vote here today In the opening session ot the federation's fourth annual meeting.

296) Continued Demand By Export Houses Helps Wheat To Hold Cains OVERHANGING the wheat futures market was the possibility of an aftermath of liquidation following the rapid bullish strides made recently. Nevertheless, the wheat position was still regarded as secure and there were export sales of nearly A million bushels confirmed for the second day in a row. This kept the selling: side cautious and final quotations were Vi higher to Vi lower. Businesa In Canadian wheat was done with the U.K. as well as Continental countries, Including Italy, with durums figuring in the total.

Along with this was some fair mill buying, most of which showed up In the early stages of the market. Offerings Soon Absorbed Continuation of spreading operations, in which Winnipeg July was bought against the same month at Chicago, was noticeable from time to time. Offerings came largely by way of realizing, and the fact that they were absorbed with so little recession from the previous wide advance, disclosed the firm undertone that existed. Apart from moderate decline at Buenos Aires, apparently due to improvement in weather and harvesting conditions, the foreign news was all on the constructive 'Typical of the broader foreign demand for wheat was the report that Italy had purchased six more cargoes and the further statement that there was a good enquiry in the United Kingdom for Australian and other wheat. Rounding out this news was the strength displayed at Liverpool and the bright outlook for Canadian wheat as shown in the monthly report of the statistician to the Board of Grain Commissioners.

In all, there was little reason to fear any Important market recessions and only the deferred months at Winnipeg finally held in lower ground. This action wa duplicated at Chicago. Cash Wheat The demand for durums was the one and only feature of the cash wheat market The spreads were appreciably Improved without attracting out any liberal offerings and actual business was restricted on that account On occasion, the No. 3 northern was traded at a cent better spread, apparently reflecting a domestic milling demand from the east for this particular grade. Coarse Grains Coarse grain aeemed to be working Into a strong position, although the Immediate cash demand waa slack.

There were reports ot a minor domestic trade in oats, together with a small domestic business in rye. The futures market was active and December barley hit the five cent upturn limit for the second day In auccesslon and stayed there until a tew offerings came along later in the morning. Rye was also strongly supported. In oats there was a big trade with the nearby months around the 50 cent mark and liberal offerings were impressively absorbed. Local Cash Prices Tha prloa.

10. New arrivals up to 9 a.m. consisted of 490 cattle, 73 calves, 390 hogs and 50 sheep and lambs, together with 25 cattle and 220 sheep and lambs on through billing. In addition to deliveries coming oft trucks, railway reports show a further seven cars of stock for arrival during the day. With a fairly moderate run putting in an appearance, supplies are being well cleaned up with the market ruling more or less on a steady, basis.

Very few price changes have been recorded to date this week and while deliveries lacked the numerical strength of last week, supplies nevertheless have proved fully sufficient to satisfy th immediate needs of the tri.de. Demand at the present time is centring principally around finished material suitable for the holiday season and anything at the disposal of killers approaching quality and finish Is commanding firm rates, but In between killing cattle are not selling any too fast and it would appear that further well regulated receipts are necessary to maintain values at their present level. The better grades of stockers and feeders, which are coming forward in fairly small numbers, continue to sell at unchanged rates, but at the present time there Is a very restricted outlet for common to medium stockers and as far as pos sible suqh should be off the market until the demand shows some expansion. The calf market appears In a fairly strong position; good to choice vealers are meeting brisk trad? at prices ranging from $6.50 to 8.00, while plain to medium calves are being worked out gen erally from to 56.00. The hog market took on a little firmer appearance Thursday, bacons advancing 10 cents to sell at the $7.35 mark with sows in demand from $5.73 to $6.00.

Short supplies again featured the lamb market and th trade was reported about steady, good lamti being priced around $7.75 and culls and weighty lambs from $6.00 to $6.75.

Inquiry for Australian wheat the advance in Manitoba offers. At th opening all positions were at a new season high. Prices reacted somewhat during the morning and afternoon, on profit taking, Canadian Shipments Broomhall says: Official wheat and flour shipments from Canada overseas and to the U.S. totalled during the month ot November 35,190,000 bushels, much of which went into winter storage In the U.S. The total since August 1 is 109,000,000, Including 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 bushels brought Into bond.

Th balance for export In Canada is therefore around 140. 000,000 to 150,000,000 Grain Opinions Bingham McKay. Continued heavy purchases by European countries features the news. Market looks higher and would take advantage of moderate recessions to accumulate wheat. Jackaon Bros.

Grain With Argentine prices only holding steady at a big discount under iverpool, which market is advancing. It looks as If there Is fear of war. Should Liverpool advance again tomorrow, look for higher prices her. Regent Grain The market still displays strength, believe dips will receive support. Lamson Bros.

The pickup In our business is making the domestic situation more favorable from the standpoint of advancing wheat prices. Stein Brennan Persistent ab sorption of large quantities wheat by importing nations gives the wheat market a sound basis for further advances. Uhlmann. There Is possibility many countries may lay in large reserves and stimulate buying here in wheat Bartlett F. How far prices will advance depends on how badly the foreign buyer ha overstayed his position.

early Wednes day morning when a giant still was seized In the premises formerly occupied by Gordon, Ironside and Fares, Logan ave, west of Arling ton st Carter and Robinson win appear in provincial police court Thursday, December 17. The still, which had been In op eration nearly a year, was the biggest ever seised In Manitoba. It had a capacity of 700 to 800 gallons of alcohol dally, and had been the principal source of supply to bootleggers in Greater Winnipeg. It was owned by five men, who for years have controlled th local supply of illicit alcohol. These men are known to the police but have never been arrested, although many of their employes hav paid heavy fines or served jail sentences.

"This is a tough time to knock over the big plant," a well known Winnipeg bootlegger said today. It a tough summer for us and we figured on cleaning up be tween now and the end of th Greek Christmas holiday about the middle of January. 'The big fellows were turning out good alcohol. The still was fixed with a rectifur and turned out better stuff than could be made In the small stills on farms. It should be a good thing for the gov ernment, because we won't be able to get in new stock in time for th holidays." Estimates of the value of the still run as high as $50,000.

Monthly consumption of coke fuel was five tons, and police are still In vestigating the source of the enor mous supply of sugar needed to turn out thousands of gallons of alcohol. M. D. Splvak Is representing Carter and Robinson. HEAVY WHEAT PURCHASES BY U.K.

REPORTED tw. Rcld Co. Ltd. Broomhall reports the sale ot seven parcels end two full cargoes of various classes of wheat, besides the two Australian cargoes which were sold earlier on Wednesday. Rosa Fe wheat for prompt shipment sold at $1.18 and for Jan.

Feb. shipment at $1.15, not Including the 6 cents duty. These heavy purchases by England should be expected as some authorities have been under the impression that this country has overstayed the market both for wheat and freight space. Large world shipments will now result after the end of the year. Italy was in th market again yesterday for Argentine wheat.

Mailed ad vices to the Corn Trade News at Liverpool on Nov. 27 said that Italy had taken 8,000,000 bushels of new Argentine wheat' alone, and sine then purchases have been made practically every day. England and the Continent hav also bought very sizeable quantities of new Plate wheat for Dec. and Jan. Feb.

shinmenL This accumulation of buying by Europe besides the usual local and Brazilian demand will surely absorb the early run of wheat, so that pressure Is not expected to develop or at least not until late In the season. Favorable weather now prevails in the Argentine and harvest operations will consequently extend. The forecast is for clear weather today. The rams which fell on Monday night were not favorable. They fell only where not wanted and missed southern B.A.

province and the Pampa. Italy Has Taken 30,000,000 Great strength In International wheat prices yesterday was attributed to extensive Investment buying on the realization that the supply and demand position is still strong, despite an almost normal crop In the Argentine and only slightly below normal In Australia. Broomhall has been reporting heavy purchases by Italy since the end of October and buying orders from this country have now probably reached 30,000,000 from various countries. Also on Nov. 2 Broomhall gave out an unconfirmed rumor that the Argentine government would very likely abolish the "price fixing" policy for 1937, which rumor was confirmed on Dec.

3, but since then the price has remained over the previous minimum of 10 pesos in spite of the larger crop estimates which are ex Dected to furnish a surplus for ex port of from 125 to 160,000,000 bushels.
