He de clined, however, to express any opinion as to what volume of the crop may move by way of the Pacific Coast. Nor would he comment on the situation at Prince Rupert fol lowing the abandonment of the lo cal government elevator. "Inls is merely my annual tour ' ol inspection." said Mr. Hunger ford fan'd I have "ho 'anrioflnce- ments to make.
