SEND WHEAT TO CANADA.

Ten Carloads of Red Winter Go Across the Boundary Line. A dispatch from Montreal says that the initial importation of wheat from the United States into Canada has been made. James Carruthers is file imported and the amount brought is ten cars. It is from Detroit, and of course red winter. Mr. Carruthers says the wheat wrll be consumed by Ontario millers. Now that it has been pretty well demonstrated that the United States wheat can pay the duty of 15 cents a bushel and sell in the same market with the Ontario product, dealers are inclined to believe the prices for the latter have reached the top unless the United States market shows-material advances. As high as 85 cents hag been paid for Ontario fed winter wheat recently and 80 cents for hard Manitoba wheat at Fort William. It is probable that further importations will be made anil if they reach hundreds hf thousands of bushels, the expectations of many Montreal traders will be realized.
