NATIONAL WHEAT MARKETING

CANADIAN GROWERS’ DEMAND. TRADE MACHINERY BROKEN DOWN. By Telegraph—Press Assn.— Copyright Saskatchewan, Dec. 20. In a statement to-day the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool reiterates the 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” conditions jn 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 that the trading machinery has broken down and they are direct sufferers. . “At home the first step lies in a Dominion marketing agency, which will be vitally concerned in the international phase as well, and in this connection a movement is now on foot to call a conference of the major wheat exporting countries to seek co-ordination of policies upon all aspects of production, marketing and financing.”
