TUESDAY. MAY 6, I94I Wheat Operations Continued Draggy TRADING In Winnipeg wheat future was a duplication of the past two weeks and prices, Tuesday, remained at fixed minimum levels. Locals were credited with limited support, but offerings were liberal and the volume of business was exceedingly small. No export business was reported worked In Canadian wheat or flour overnight or during the session. Further sales of No.

1 northern were reported made from Lakehead with the total estimated at 400,000 bushels and taken by shippers. Interest was also reported in the other grades of wheat, but sales wete difficult to confirm. Lack of shipping space at the present time is hindering business. Spreads on most grades of wheat were unchanged, and No. 1 Hard and No.

1 Northern were the only contract grades quoted on a deliverable basis, and deliveries through the clearing house Tuesday totaled 803,000 bushels. United States markets continued strong In sympathy with strength in other commodities and at one time values were almost two cents over the previous close. Some of the support was attributed to mills. Buenos Aires wheat was unchanged. Farmers In Western Canada on Monday delivered a total of 1,034, 000 bushels to country elevators as compared with only 154,000 bushels on the same day a year ago.

In cash coarse grains, dealings were slow and sales unimportant. No. 2 Feed oats Improved 4 cent, but spreads on other coarse grain grades were unchanged. Operations In the coarse grain pit were mixed and prices generally were firm In sympathy with southern markets. Shippers took some oats and barley, and a little buying in October barley was credited to a southern house.

In other grains dealings were featureless. Fifty Boats Cleared Lakehead Last Week Another 50 vessels cleared with grain cargoes from Fort William and Port Arthur last week, with approximately 10,000,000 bushels, the bulk of which was wheat, according to figures of the statistics branch of the board of grain commissioners. Since the opening of navigation more than 160 boats have cleared from the Lakehead with more than 32,000,000 bushels of grain.

Sellers reported a nominally steady trade for the few useful killing cattle Included with exceptionally good action on cows which can be quotable around 25 cents higher. Apart from the upward trend on the cow class, the general market on killing cattle can be scarcely quoted very little different from last week and, apparently, the moderate size of the receipts coming forward are of sufficient volume to satisfy the trade. Active Outlet At the present time all suitable lightweight stocker cattle are sharing in a good active outlet and the trade can use more liberal numbers of the right type of stock ers to fill orders for this class.

Recent weather conditions have been extremely favorable for pastures, which will likely increase the demand for replacement stock, which is selling at relatively strong prices in relation to fat cattle values. Buyers are combing the yards very thoroughly for any stocker steers costing from $6.50 to $7.25, while stock heifers of similar quality and condition are being rapidly absorbed downward from $6.50. Calf Market The calf market Is maintaining a reasonably steady tone, good handyweight vealers earning from $9 to $9.50 and the balance of the calves selling all the way from $5 to $8.50. Monday's transactions for Bl dresred hogs were reported at the $11 mark with the trade expected to show no real change. The sheep and lamb market was more or less at a standstill Tuesday morning owing to lark of receipts.

Eight members spoke during afternoon and evening. Their criticisms included: Conndemnatibn of federal Invasion of succession duty field. Questions why hard liquor taxes were not Increased; Ill advised excess profits taxation, complaint about building material being made subject to sales tax, unfairness of taxing farmers for gasoline used in farm operations, protest against travel ticket taxation.

But for the most part they were like small boys who faced a large spoonful of powerful and pungent medicine. They took it, but protested on principle. Mr. Hanson chose not to delegate the task of financial critic of the government's record war budget; he undertook the job himself. He spoke exactly one hour, reading from carefully prepared text When the oppositions open the budget debate, it Is usually under stood that tracks will be clear.

But the usual smooth course was obstructed unexpectedly on Monday afternoon when the C.C.F. began what might have been a full sized debate on an issue entirely aside from the budget discussion.

His complaint was that, while war Industry might have relieved the situation in other provinces, the relief situation had actually Increased in the Prairie provinces.

He adjourned the debate which Mr. Douglas had expccledly up. Mr. Mac Innls got to his feet, but the motion to adjourn Is not debatable. So Mr.

Hanson got away to his fit st well turned phrase. Under the present conditions when every man is calling for an "all out" war effort, It Is not easy to criticize a budget for being too harsh. Mr. Hanson and other speakers who followed him expressed this feeling In varying degree, Mr. Hanson made It clear that his quarrel was with the method rather than the objective of the budget.

He did have definite doubts If the government was giving the peo n.oo iarea.

Social Creditors moved an amendment on the principle of raising money by loan. Back benchers filled in, some with good speeches, and some with, speeches that did not seem very important against a background of world war. Generally speaking, Mr. Ilsley's budget emerged from its first day of criticism witr. little damage.

Mr. Hanson has a hearty sus calculatlons used to income, in view of the differences of opinion which seem to prevail among the experts, the Conservative leaner was in clined to believe that this Is one of the most obscure fields of economic of calculation even approaches ao curacy. Private Pressure But his chief displeasure fell on cession field, hitherto the private preserve of provincial treasurers. Mr.

Ilsley's Invasion of the sue Mr. Hanson called them plal'i "oeath taxes." He also thought the government had been listening to the demagogues in applying Its excess profits tax. And he did not forget to remind Mr. Ifcley that some of the "good people down home in Nova Scotia and New Burns wick (Mr. Ilsley is a Nova Scotia boy) would be unpleas surprised that the minister has not piled more taxation on hnr.l liquor.

However, he left the minister to stew in his own juice. He could make his own explanations to the home folk. Mr. Quelch was chosen to present the Social Credit amendment which regretted the government's failure to establish effective control over the Issue of credit by the "chartered banks to the end that the amount which proceeds from reas onable taxation and the sale of interest free war savings certifl cates fails to meet the govern ment's expenditures, may he met by funds from the Bank of Canada, without fear of The New Democracy group, represented by Victor Quelch (N.D. Acadia) offered the first formal challenge of the government's financial proposals by moving an amendment which amounts to a vote of want of confidence.

Mr. Quelch, an able debater, (he dees not repeat himself quite so much as some of his party col leagues) found the government guilty of having been "contemp tuous of the will of the people," jurt they were In deciding the wheat poliry. Great Awakening Originally the government had won the election on the policy of a "modified war eftort" ana naa lulled the country in that feeling until the great awakening last June. In attacking what he de scribed as the slowness in getting men trained for Industry, Mr, Quelch pounded home the fart that we did not have "lots of time Events move too fast. Hitler does not wait.

We should be training men for Industry Just as fast as we are training them for the army. Generally speaking the Increases in taxation had been fair, but there were exceptions. You could not argue equality of sacrifice when Western agriculture was in it present condition. He protested against application of the new gasoline taxation to fuel used In farm tractors. He charged that the average profit of Canadian banks last yea was 13 percent.

If, he argued, the government tries to borrow the 1,1250 millions needed In addition to taxation, it would be simply by means of hidden Inflation. The banks would lend clients money with which to buy bonds. The bonds would eventually revert to the banks. "Where will they get the money?" asked a member. "By simply writing In a book," was the well known reply.

In his usual direct and clear way, Mr. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, laid down this theme of criticism That there could be no equality of sacrifice so long as corporations worked with only (Dlrittutnt JOHN KERNESTED Winnipeg upon 'requent occasions The funeral service for John I "pn he visited his sister.

Coldwell thought it was not good enough for us to fight for our old way of life; we had to fight for something newer, sometnlng better. If Canadians lacked enthusiasm it was because the Issues had not been placed squarely before them not the issue of victory, but the assurance that the evolution would be speeded up by Intelligent direction. There may have been an eye brow or two raised along the Social Credit benches, when Tom Reid Llb. New Westminster) commenc ed on the minister of finance, for doing so well to pay such a large percentage of his war bills out ot taxation, and then suggested that he might make more use of the Bank of Canada. Lower Tariffs "I am.

sure we will have to have some form of managed currency before we finish, and I am not so sure we haven't started In this direction now," commented Mr. Reid. Mr. Reid recommended still lower tariff on British goods, because by exporting goods is the only way that Britain can repay our war outlay on her behalf. He gently recommended Mr.

Hanson and his opposition to Wendell Wilikie In United States. Once the election was over, Mr. Willkle backed his president. Reid advo ceted Canada having a high powered radio station through which we could talk to the world. Scoring the new tax on travel tickets, he said he would rcther see a tax on free passes.
