A despatch from Washington says: _New regulations limiting coal ex- ports to Canada will be announced in a few days by the fuel administration. The control will be through special permits to shippers, who will be a]- lowed to forward cargoes up to the amounts prescribed by the fuel ad- ministration Without obtaining special export licenses. Permits will be granted only to shippers who sent coal to Canada last year. The plan is to hold Canada the rest of this year to supplies not exceeding ten per cent. more coal than was received last year. This arrangement is based on a ten per cent. increase in production in the United States this year and per- mits Canada to share equally with the‘ States. tor $13; bucks and culls, $9 to $10.50; sheep. heavy. $5315 to $7.50; .vearlings, :12 to $13: cglves, good to choice. $16 to $15.50; Spring lambS. $16 to $16.50; hogs. fed and watered. $18 to $18.25: (10., weighed off cars. $18.25 to $18.50: 60.. f.o.b.. $17.25.
