WHEAT INDUSTRY
CANADIAN GROWERS’ REQUEST. NATIONAL MARKETING BOARD. (United Press Assn.— Telegraph Copyright.) Regina (Saskatchewan), December 20. In a statement to-day the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool reiterates its request for a national wheat marketing board. Between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 bushels of wheat belonging to Western growers were sold under “stop-loss” orders on Friday’s Winnipeg market. _ ... The statement said: “Such incidents as Friday’s market add further strength to the case for a national marketing agency to control the disposal of the entire Canadian wheat crop. Scores of meetings of wheat pool members in this province are adopting resolutions calling for the institution of a national marketing agency. They are convinced the trading machinery has broken down and they are the direct sufferers. At home the first step lies in a Dominion marketing agency which is vitally concerned in the international phase as well, and in this connection a move•ment is now on foot to call a conference of the major wheat exporting countries to seek co-ordinated policies upon all aspects of production, marketing and financing.”
