Grain Shipping 7. A to the shipping of grain, it Is to be regretted that more grain has not passed through this port during the last year, and one serious handicap at present has been the difference as to price between the Wheat Pool, which controls most of our grain, and the purchasers in the old country; but. Irrespective of the merits and without expressing any opinion In this respect, may we hope thatwhen this matter is aajuueo u win resuu m much greater trade through the western ports and particularly Prince Rupert. "Another matter of great importance to Prince Rupert has been the matter of the prohibition of part cargoes of logs from the province of British Columbia unless they were manufactured. It Is well known that practically the only large buyers of logs In northern British Columbia have been Ocean Falls and Powell River. Hie previous provincial government saw fit practically to bar the export of logs from government lands excepting certain crown granted lands, with the result that the lumber had to be manufactured before exporting from the province of British Columbia.
