Has become Clear in the last few Days that there is a Strong division of opinion in the Federal Cabinet on the Point at which an initial Price for wheat should be fixed by the government wheat Board. Hon. T. A. Crerar and Hon. J. G. Gardiner Are reportedly arguing for a figure not less than the october future which monday was a fraction Over 76 cents at Winnipeg. This position is said to be based on the theory that if the govern ment fixes the initial prices lower Farmers will inevitably say the government must have knowledge that the Price is going lower and Rush in to sell their wheat. More Over it would have the effect that no wheat would be delivered to the wheat Board As the growers would choose to sell to private elevators at the higher future Price rather than take a Chance on a lower government initial Price plus a dubious Chance that wheat might sell higher than the future. On the other hand a majority of the Cabinet is said to be reluctant to put the government Board in the position of accepting wheat at the october future in the face of a Dominion Bureau of statistics statement just issued stating the Outlook for the world Export sup lies greatly m excess of import requirements in the coming crop year As the reason for wheat markets working lower since mid june.
