as wen as about 2000 guns and many
rifles, and with 'large quantities of
ammunition. , The surrender comes at
a very opportune time as in Bulgaria

just begun, and this will be saved from
the Germates and Austrians.

. FARM PRICE e
A statement is making- the round
effect that the prices of fare). pre -
`duets on this eontinent 'will_ be high
after the war, wed that the era of
cheap fobd is gone. never to. return'.
The reas'on given for -this statement
_which is that the narmerse and
farm laborers- will no longer': Work
for the Wages of- the Oast, is 'not.
impressive. We hesitate to specu-
late as to the couree of farm prices
after.the war because of the lack af
reliable information as to the main
factors of the problem. The ordinary
sources ef loowledge are closed and
such infermation as is offered by the
tic
press and e Departments of Agri
culture is ur der suspicion of -patina'
'and financia, censorship. 'No ',one
-knows,- for example what are the
stores of wheat in _Australia, India,
,Argentina and. Russia,. or -what .may
be . the -facilities of -transport, by
which these stores,. if any, may be
brought,. after the ,war, into: the
markets in which Canadian wheat
may be sold. - It was 'stated, the
other day, that Australian wheat was
arriving in Vancouver in bad condi-
dition from weevil - and heating and
from that, it may perhaps be 'kin-
ferred that 1 the stares of. wheat in
the -countriei mentioned are not • ira-

the prodoative powers of competing

ible to .be assured of the coati/m-
ance of the • demand of the Market

for what they would , buy.
In view of the• consumption and
