Canada Puts U. S. Wheat and Flour on Her Free List.

Ottawa, Ont., April 16.—The .government has placed wheat and wheat flour on the free list, thus opening United States markets to Canada and Canadian markets to the United States in these products. Under the reciprocal clauses of the American tariff, the United States will admit free wheat and wheat products of any country *which admits American wheat without duty. The Canadian tariff has heretofore prevented this privilege being availed of. The action taken by the Canadian government today removes the duty and automatically opens the market of each country to the other. The order is due to difficulty of export abroad owing to shortage of ocean tonnage and t.’ e fact that the British market has .been virtually closed for Canadian wheat of lower grade. The duties removed are 10 cents a bushel on -wheat and 45 cents a barrel on flour.
