as the buying of "forward exchange."
According to CharlesGamble, man-
ager of the London branch of the re:soa w:11 bo chosen.
Bank of Commerce, there isa very'
bresk demand for Canadian dollars on
the part of London brokers, whieh
marks the resumption of open trad-
ing foIlowang adoption by the Can-
adian Wheat Board, As a result a,
steady rise in the value of the dollar
in sterling may be expected.
While the pound is being quoted
in London to -day at $4.03, exchange

$3.96. This demand for dollars comesi
from the London grain brokers,
The Royal Commission on wheat

will deal with brokers in Canada.

To Ship Western Canada
Coal to Ontario
A despatch from Toronto nays:-
It is expected that substantial effort
will be made to arrange for the im-
portation of large quantities of West-
ern Canadian coal for use in mills
and plants of Ontario and Quebec
firms. Already the Ontario Mining
Association has investigated the feas-i
ibility of using western coal for mim-
ing and. milling operations; and it has
been found quite suitable. The next
step well be its importation in suffi-
cient quantities to ensure an adequate
supply for astern industries.
The high cost of American steam
coal due to freights, exchange and
other things is ane of the factors mili-
tating against its continuous import
for use an Ontario mulls.
