A despatch from Winnipeg says: The' annual movement of grain from the prairies to the head of the lakes is well under way, but the heavier pro- ducing sections have hardly commenc- ed wheatshipments yet. Total inspec- tions of grain from the opening of the crop year, Sept. 1, were 4,402 cars, as against 9,964 cars at the .same date last year. Of the total 2,072 cars came via Canadian National and 2,330 by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Load- ings were considerably lower to date that at the same period of 1922, and it will be some time before the peak of the movement is reached, In Ed- monton district, from which it has been estimated there will bo a total wheat tonnage in the neighborhood of half a million brr bels, the harvesting of grain was delayed' by unfavorable weather, so that only some 11,000 bushels have been loaded. The car situation is very favorable, and on the Canadian National Rail- ways it is stated to be better this your than at any previous time. " An Energetic Visitor Coming.
