CANADA PUTS BAN ON GRAIN EXPORT

Duluth Firm Notified That No Grain Can Leave Dominion—Prepares For_a Long Drawn-Out War.

Duluth, Minn.—-Domihion authorities have issued orders prohibiting the shipment of grain from Canada, according to advices reaching here today.' The information was contained in a private dispatch to the G. A. Tomlinson company, a local shipping concern. The dispatch, which was sent from the Winnipeg branch of the company, read: “Ottawa has just notified shippers that grain cannot leave Canada for the United States unless it is for domestic consumption. Exports cannot leave Canada for the United Kingdom unless specified consignees are named, nor to any foreign country unelss under an Ottawa permit” Domestic consumption mentioned in the dispatch is taken by grain men here to mean Canadian consumption, the grain passing through American ports on its way to Canadian points other than the point of origin. It is believed here the reported. Ottawa order indicates either that Canada and the United’ Kingdom are short of grain or that they intend to conserve every available bushel of the present supply against the possibility that the present European war may be long drawn out.
