Approximately two-thirds of this year's grain imports came from Canada, which supplied 44,- 363 tons, and Australia, which supplied 42,868 tons. The rest came from Persia, China and Turkey. Wheat imports, almost half of which were recorded In August amounted to 121,396 metric tons, for which 5,714,000 rubles were received. (The nominal value of a ruble is 51% cents. A metric ton equals 36.7 bushels.) Exports of all grain, including wheat, during the eight months period were 791,299 tons, for which 25,596,000 rubles were re- celved.

With benches scarcely half filled the 'House of Commons yesterday commenced debate on the United Kingdom's Ottawa Conference trade agreements with the Do- minions. It was a day generally for back-benchers of the various par- ties. with only occasional flashes of the excitement brought by an- nouncement that the most fav- ored nation trade pact with So- viet Russia had been denounced. - On a motion of procedure in- cidental to resolutions on the agreements proper the govern- ment secured a majority of 222. The vote was on a government motion to authorize the consider- ation of 22 tariff changes need- ed to implement thz agreements in one resolution. Normally each item would have to be considered separately. Opposition by free- trade Liberal and Laborites brought them only 69 votes to 291 for the government. The vote was taken as an indication of how the House will divide on the agreements themselves . to- night. Major C. R, Atlee, from the front benches of the Labor group said definitely that Laborites did not intend to be bound by the Ottawa agreements, His an- nouncement precipitated argu- ment that went from side to side of the House, for and against the pacts, NORTHEAST WARD RATEPAYERS' BODY HOLDS MEETING Ald.

The musical features of the pro- gram were vocal solos by Mr, Da- vies and violin solos by H. J. Gen- try, these contributions to the pro- gram being much enjoyed. The speaker of the evening, M. McIntyre Hood, was introduced by I. E. Gillette, and gave an inspiring address on the purpose and func tions of a true brotherhood, stress- ing the necessity, in these days of difficulty, of cultivating a spirit of helping one another.

HOUSEHOLD GOODS SOLD FOR TAXES Much Interest Being Taken in Bailiff's Sale This Afternoon Considerable interest was being taken this afternoon in a bailiff's sale of part of the household ef- fects of a Robert Cowan, a resi- dent of 302 Kingdale Avenue, and before the hour for starting the sale a large crowd of citi- zens, including many of the .un- employed, had gathered. The reason for the interest and the crowd was that this sale was being made by W. J. Sully, auc- tioneer, at the instructions of the city tax collector for arrears of taxes on the property owned by Cowan at the above address. This forenoon it was noised abroad that the sale was going to take place, and that some of the sympathizers of Cowan, in- censed at the idea of household goods being sold for taxes under present circumstances, were plan- ning to take some steps to pre- vent the sale being held. Early this afternoon, however, while a large crowd had assembled, everything was orderly as the auctioneer made preparations for the sale to be started at two o'clock, TO ENTERTAIN SUDBURY TEAM Sergeants' Mess of Regi ment to Act as Hosts on Friday Night The Sudbury Softball Team, which is scheduled to play the Oshawa Dodgers in this city on Saturday, will be the guests of the Dodgers on Friday night at the big dance being held in the Armouries on Friday by the War- rant Officers, Staff Sergeants and Sergeants of the Ontario Regi- ment, This dance promises to be a most successful occasion being, as it is, the first popular priced event of its kind for this season.

Work of installing the new lights was commenced yesterday. The lights will be strung along the four walls and in case of an emer- gency they can be turned on.

Stephens, made at the meeting of the Northeast Ward Ratepayers' Association last night, that he would see that the council did not honor the requisi- tions of the Public Welfare Board for the salary of the new- ly appointed relief administrator, Mayor Hawkes terms this atti- tude as ridiculous. In this he was supported by Col. J. F. Grierson, city solicitor. "The Public Welfare Board," said the mayor, 'Is appointed to take complete charge of the ad- ministration of relief in the city, and to make such arrangements for staff to carry on this work as is found necessary, Its accounts, naturally, must pass through the finance committee, but 'when they are approved by the board, then that is all that is necessary. ing Tapidiy, The 'council has to accept them.
