Winnipeg Wheat Flurry Triggered by British Purchases
Ottawa May 5 The wild flurries in wheat in the Winnipeg grain market were caused by unusually large purchases of contract grades by the British wheat commission. Sir Thomas White said in parliament that there were not enough contract grade wheat to fill the contracts and many vendors who sold options were caught short when delivery was demanded. Vendors seek relief, promising to deliver in possession and to substitute lower grades at prices tied to milling values. The finance minister cabled Canadian Commissioner Perley in London to press the British commission to relieve the situation.
