OTTAWA, Jan. lil-"Grain is be- ing offered out of the ports of Saint John and Halifax every day cheaper than it can be offered out of any port in the United States," James Richardson, prominent Win- nipeg grain merchant stated here tonight. Hg said at the moment it was definitely more udmsntageous to ship through Canadian Atlantic ports than through United States Ports. Mr. Richardson said he was not familiar with the crrangemen‘ under which the new test shipment of Canadian grain aboard the Brittanlc was routed through the United States but was convinced no change in the export situation had taken place. '

Maritime Ports Advantageous To Grain Shipments

Canadian ports might not always continue, he said. It was due part- ly to the exchange situation as be- tween Canada and the United States. On shipments through the United States the freight charges on the rail haul from Buffalo‘ to the’ sea” u have to be paid in United States funds. Where the shipment is by the all Canadian route payment in Canadian funds. xféw it l. discount in New York is accepted. The freight rates on the two routes are approxlmatelylthe some but the exchange situation makes the Canadian route cheaper.

The two Canadian ports are now in I. batter position as far as ship- ping moo is concerned than ordin- arliy, laid Mr. Richardson. United

SIIJATIUN

(By George Hamhleton, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, Jan. Sl-wanadian Press Cableb-Definito ruling on whether Canadian wheat can be shipped to the British market through Unitedjtates ports, and still gain the British preference of six cents a bushel, will be made by customs authorities before the end of the week. Meanwhile lead- ing wheat importers in Liverpool believe the pending ruling will be favorable to shipment through the United States provided that strict requirements are observed. The main requirement is that the wheat shall be definitely consigned to the United Kingdom at the time it leaves Canadian territory, bearing concrete proof oi its Canadian or- igin.

Liverpool wheat importers de- claring they expected the Britannic shipment to be ruled eligible for the preference, pointed out the documents accompanying it differ- ed from those which accompanied the Laconia shipment, which was not granted the preference.

MAR. FREIIIHT RATES ACT

'_ CYITAWA, Jan. 31—(By The Canadian Press)-The opinion oi the Supreme Court of Canada will be sought as to the Jurisdiction of the Board of Railway Commission- ers in respect to certain provisions of the Maritime Freight; Rates Act, i927. The commission has prepar- ed a reference to the Supreme Court in the form of questions which they want answered.

The Attorney General of Canada and the eastern provinces inter- ested, as well as railways and ship-

ping organizations have been no- tified. A date for hearing the ar- gument will probably be fixed by the Supreme Court.

The Board of Railway Commis- sioners asks whether or not it has Jurisdiction under section 9 of the Maritime Freight Rates Arts to approve tariffs which specify tolls lower_ than those specified in ta- riffs originally filed. These latter provide for reductions of approx- imately 20 per cent from normal tolls. It also wishes to know if it. has jurisdiction to certify as to normal tolls in respect to particular freight movemsnts. Another ques- tion is whether or not. the board has the Jurlsdction to certify l-

the Minister of Railways as to the amount of reimbilrsmncnt to the railway company as referred to in

the Maritime Freight Rates Act.

Brief and busy, the Quebec Legislative Assembly sat 101- about 30 minutes and scanned public ac- counts for the past financial year.

As announced some months ago by Premier Taschereau, deficit of |ssa4noa for the financial year

which ended June 30, i932, was shown in public accounts tabled by Mr. Stockwell, receipts on account of consolidated revenue ‘were $36,- 941,020 against total expenditures of $37,525,728. Funded debt of the province was $66,860,821 in June and loans totalling $16,201,017 were negotiated by the government dur- ing the year which ended that month.
