It will be historical In tone and will
cover the old testament from the death

Three of 'the great powers, the t'nlt

while the conservatives, after the mnn
ner of opposition, put It at $70,000,000.

in the Culled Slates we know that
when the books are closed nt the end

BARREL. SAY MILLERS
Managers for Minneapolis Concerns
See No Relief in Sight at
Present.
WHEAT SCARCITY IS GENERA!,
Argentina'a Crop Short Mexico Hat
Famine Flour $1.30 Higher
than Last Year.
Wise In the price of flour until the
mills In America are selling spring
wheat flour at 7 a barrel, or $I.H0
more than a year ago, is brought to
light as one of the effects of the pres
ent conditio:! of t'ae wheat market nnd
the country's supply of tin cereal. Ac
cording to the Chicago Daily News,
managers of tin Washburn-Crosby
Company, the Plllsbury-Washbiirn Com
pany and the Northwestern Consoli
dated Milling Company, which operate
what are declared the largest mills In
the fnlted States, and practically fix
the price of flour, say there Is no re
lief In sight from present conditions.
and every Indication Is that the price
of Hour will continue to soar and may
go to 10 a barrel. The list In the
wholesale millers' price Is beb'g fol
lowed by a rise iu tlie price to brokers
nnd consumers and will result in ma
terially affecting the price of bread and
bakery goods. The price of rye flour
and other breadstufTs has also been In
creased, the rise in the price of rye
Hour per barrel being about 'M cents in
less than a month.
The managers of Hit milling compa
nies deny that there is any combination
to Increase prices or to control the
business. They Insist that the rise In
(he price of flour Is duo to the scarcity
of wheat hud breadstuff, in Kurope
and other countries, to the Insufficient
supply in the fnlted States in tlie light
of the demands which are now being
made aud to the general wheat situa
tion. The price for wheat will la stiff nil
through the summer, tlie millers de
clare. The f nited States bus grown a
larger crop than n year ago, but the
world's supply Is short. There Is n
wheat, flour and bread famine lu Mexi
co, the price of Argentine wheat Is
$1.25 per bushel and of Winnipeg or
Canadian wheat about $1.27. The ship
ments from Argentina are short nnd
Argentina has lxen shipping principal
ly lo Liverpool. This Increased the Liv
erpool demand for American ship
ments.
It requires five bushels of wheat to
make a barrel. Taken at $1.20 per
bushel the wheat in each barrel of flour
costs Itl..". Add to that 40 cents for
sacks or wood basins, 20 cents for
freight, 15 cents for delivery, 5 cents
for storage and 25 cents for selling
nnd carrying accounts. That will make
the cost price of flour $7.50, from
which deduct -10 cents for "off-nils" or
the bran and other products saved from
the w heat, which makes the price $7.10.
And iu some instances the freight, de
livery, storage ami other expenses are
higher than those given, it would not
be surprising in the light of present
existing conditions and In the face of
the outlook for tin future that flour
vouhl go to $10 per barrel.

nil, but only an artificial famine en

purposes. Also, If Secretary Wilson is
correct. Mr. Patten's deal will go lo

The Secretary of Agriculture insists
that the government's report to the ef

els of reserve wheat In tlie fu niters'
hands on March 1 was strictly correct
and that he knows where the whent Is.

Wilson angrily when the Tntten state

farmers who nre reliable, conscientious
men. Wo bave been perfecting our sys

ct York Fear a Famine Itatea I:
Wheat Corner la Xot Broken.
With flour up 40 cents a barrel aui
the prospects apparently good for a fur
ther rise. New York City is now facinf
the possibility of bread at 7 cents a
loaf. What will appear to hundreds ol
thousands in the poorer quarters like
fntnine rates for this staple bid fair to
be forced as a result of the rtcent rise
in the price of wheat. . The Ghetto of
New York has already felt the effect of
the buoyancy of the Chicago wheat pit.
i-'ix cents a loaf is the price now charg
ed by some bakeries, while the proprie
tors of hundreds of others declare that
they cannot continue selling at 5 cents
much longer, with flour of the better
gtades costing from $7 to $7.20 a bar
rel, against $0.00 to $(.S0 a few dayi
alio. They add, moreover, that with
Hour permanently up to the rates recent
ly quoted even 0 cents would not give
them any sort of a profit.
