Winnipeg; Man. -With May wheat
concentrated in strong hands and dis-
mal weather conditions in the Can-
adian West,, bull traders forced a sen-
sational advance of 13 5-•8c in the
price of May wheat Wednesday morn-
ing, carrying the option at $1.70, the
highest price' reach on the local
market in two'years. r"
The advance was: worked within a
period of two minutes after the start y
of trading, and during the height of

frantically: to cover their commit-
ments. Tho trading pit, reverberated
with the roar of trapped "Shorts,"

days of trading during the early war- °
time period.
The hectic "bull" was short-lived,
however, but the tension left many
traders in a near -exhausted condition

unload, but as the $1.70 mark was
reached supplies became more liberal,

empire that relations be restored as
soon as possible but, of course, such
relations must not be to the detriment'
of any one part of the empire. This
rupture may lead to some settlement
of the old Russian debts. I suppose
Britain can never hope to collect in
full, but there may be a settlement of
some kind. If they clear the. {lean -
dal side much•of the rest will follow;
I consider that the important ele-
ment."
Mr. A E. Ames does not attach
momentous importance to the cancel -
laden of the agreement. "Both pre-
miers have stated," he noted, `"that
the cessation of official relations need
not affect the flow .of. trade through -.K
private channels. The total volume
of trade between Canada and Russia
has not been large, anyway. Some of
their concerns, their big cooperatives,

and have d very good_ reputation for
fulfilling their agreements and meet-
