LOW WHEAT PRICES
BRITISH MILLERS' VIEW NOT GOOD FOR THE WORLD OTTAWA, Aug. 3 At the World Grain Conference in Regina, Saskatchewan, to-day, Sir Albert Humphries, chairman of tho National Industrial Council for the Flour Milling Industry, stated that British millers and corn merchants did not want wheat to remain at a low price. It was not good for the producer, tho miller or the people as a whole for wheat to remain at low levels. Sir Albert stated that if agriculturists in the widest senso could bo made prosperous then tho whole world very shortly would become inoro prosperous as well.
An organisation to take over wheat regarded as entirely above normal requirements and charged with finding an outlet apart from tho usual trade channels, was suggested by Mr. A. H. Hobley, of the British Co-operative Wholesale Society in a paper read by Mr. George Keen, of the Canadian Cooperative Union, in Mr. % Hobley's absence.
