THE WHEAT PROBLEM.

REGINA CONFERENCE. AN EASY WAY OUT. ______ ! United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyr'^h 1 OTTAWA, Aug. 3. Sir Albert Humphries, delegate from the National Association of British and Irish 'millers to the World Grain Conference, addressed members of the Canadian Club in Regina, Saskatchewan, to-day. He expressed the opinion that the best Britain could do in the way of a wheat market would be to Import 100,000,000 bushels annually from Canada and Australia. Britain had bought, and would for some time continue to buy, her wheat from countries willing to buy her goods.

“ Feed grain to livestock and so dispose of the surplus," was the advice to Canada of Mr. L. C. Tipper, representing the British Chamber of Agriculture, at the final business session of the conference. Such a course, he said, would quickly dispose of the surplus and help to remove the depressing effect of it upon grain prices. CARGOES STEADY. SELLERS SEEK ADVANCE. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel.
