§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the corner being operated in Canadian wheat; and whether he will inquire of the Canadian Government why the restrictive legislation against gambling in options in food products has not been recently enforced.
(Answered by Mr. Bonar Law.) I have seen reports to the effect that a Canadian milling company has made large purchases of high-grade wheat, which the sellers are unable to deliver. I do not propose to address any inquiry to the Canadian Government in the matter.
