WHITE CORN FLOUR
IJAKES GOOD BREAD
,J?atha.n Merriam Declares it Could
Be Substituted for Wheat Flour
(-: . to Large Extent.
DISFAVORS EMBARGO ON WHEAT
Tb eonneitlon with the Now Tork In
(suiry Into the fooil supply, and especially
In connection elth the a heat and flour
situation, Mr. Nathan Merriam ha writ
ten th folio Inf letter to Mr. O. i
Perkins:
"Noticing the anxiety of j our New Tork
food committee reepectins auppllei of
tiraadstuff, particularly wheat, for United
JPtates consumption, and that you favor
an embargo against further exportation
of wheat from thia t-ountrr, at the aame
time having In mind a possible reduction
In the price of wheat, which an rmlwrrn
weald likely brine about, I beg to sug
rat In place of an embargo agalnt the
exportation of wheat the general use
throughout the United States of whit
corn flour aa a substitute for wheat flour
to th extent of about (0 per cent. The
merit of white com flour aa a food
are not generally known and do not be
gin tq b appreciated In thla country. I
know personally, having used It for yearn,
that It makes the most delicious bread
Jad Is much preferred to wheat bread,
particularly when hot.
are Millions of Dollars.
"Before, the next crop of wheal can be
expended on to any material extent the
consumption . of whest In this country
Will approximately be about 200,000,007
bushels. If lflO.OOO.ono bushels of white
rota eouJd be substituted for wheat, then
w would have for export 100,000,000 busli.
tf mora wheat than under ptesent con
euons. The price of wheat Is doubia the
price of corn, henos tha saving oa ac
count of this substitution would ba about
7,0.oa during th next five months,
as aondltlona now exist.
"We ean possibly export with safety
a boot 7t.OilO.0O0 mora of the .present crop.
Tba substitution referred to will enable
to export 175,000,000 more. This would
likely be ample to supply tha necessities
ef Europe until tha next harvest. What
an act of charity It would be If we could
supply our European neighbors with all
the wheat thay need, especially since we
would profit thereby to tha extent of
t7e.0CQ.O0a,
WmII Prereat Advaaee. .
That Is not all. This substitution
woui4 prevent further advance In wheat,
and possibly bring about a small reduc
tion from present prices. I cannot oon
celva a mora practical or better way to
bl reduce the cost of living, and at the
am, time add wealth to tha country.
Europe would likely follow our example,
and thereby make a much larger and
better market for our corn. Immensely
benefiting this country and the world.
"I therefore suggest that you urge tha
government at Washington and the press
generally to assist you In. the effort to
popularise tba Urge use of whit corn
flour at this time, indulging tna hope
taat demand may spring up all over the
United States for white corn flour to
uch an extent that the mills of our
country may equip themselves f6r pr.
duclng thia product In sufficient quanti
ties to supply the demand."

yiiluing and Uiat meanwhile a mulorlty
of the dealer at Liverpool were dis-1-oeed
to adopt a waiting pulley in regard
to buying. Most of the aelllng that ensued

the part of holders whose Investments

vaa to progress Monday and part of
1 uesday
On break after another took rise In
l.et until in th last hour of the sea
alon word came that some exporters were
attain becoming venturesome. Other so
thoritles aeaertod that foreign sales of
)u,(Mt bushels said to have been mado
-were largely for Belgian relief and thera
gure not. of real Rig nit lea nee.
Other prices suffered from a storm of
telling induced by th downward plunge
jt th wheat market and by the great
load of stored com in sight. I.ale signs
of some revival of Kurop.n rail halped
to rally prices just before the close. Oata
gava way with corn and wheat. Much of
tii selling of oats was of a stop-loss
charavtxr.
Weakness of grgln and hogs carried
provisions heavily downward, what sup

CATTLB Receipts of cattle wer very
light agHln this morning, only 111 cars
being reported in. This makes the total
r-ipta tor the three days tnls week only
. bead, being sbout half a normal run
and omy about one-third as large aa for
the corieapondlng period a year ago.
fndcr the Influence of the very light
receipts prices on all klnde of cattle were
fully steady, and here and there sla
men who happened to hove something
that buyers especially wsnteit thought
tney secured In some cases es much ss
Wo sdvanca over westerday. Th demand,
however, waa by. no mean very broad
and as there was nothing encnuisging In
astern advices the feeling waa general
that the strength shown by the market
eaa due entirely to light receipts. Most
operators on the market were expressing
themselves as of the opinion that with
liberal receipts It would have been hard
work to hold the market steady. Thia
will Indicate that the feeling is hy no
means strong end that free shipping on
the rart of the country might result In
further declines. What has been said
would apply to alt kinds of killers, cows
and heifers, aa well as beef ateers.
Btockeis and feeders were very scare,
but feeder buvers took a few of the
warmed-up cattle at good firm prices,
wtjch also helped to relieve the pressure
on the beef market

HIIF.EP A tlbarsl run for a Wednesday
showed up today, the estimate calling for
I4.0IO head. For the week to date the re
ceipt foot up 31.042 head ss against 47.H7
last week and 39,777 for the corresponding
weK last year.
Today's trade was pretty much like yes
terday In that there was nothing doing
during the early hours aside from the fill
ing of orders on shipping and sheering
account The packers did not vn try
to buy much of consequence until well
along toward tha noon hour and when
they did get down to bunine their bids
were lower. Finally the bulk of the
lambs was disposed of on a basis weak
to a dime lower, while anything in th
line of mutton held about ateady. Tho
early trade on shearing account Included
a five-car bunch of Idaho lambs at 1H.2V
The first ewes to sell moved around 10
t.15. The packers prefr lambs welsh
ing from 70 to K0 pounds and anything
oxer that mets wttn slow sale ana nas
to sell at a disadvantage. -
Bulk of the killing purchases was mad
at S4.62Vd.e6. the long string moving at
W.U'A. and -quit a sprinkling of shipper
sales landed as nign aa .u. uurreni
value are a good big nickel lower than
at the close of last week, aa the alight
advances mad Monday and Tuesday
amounted to less than -half of today' de
cline. RecelDta this morning assumed very
liberal proportions, something like 272
cars, or 19.000 head, being reported In.
The three days' total of 32,307 la mora
than 26.000 short of last week's big run,
and is about 1,400 smaller than for th
corresponding days last year. Mlsunder
stsndlng of the new quarantine regula
tions was probably partially responsible
for the comparative lightneas or th re
ceipts on Monday and Tuesday.
