FLOUR BAN
Mills Prohibited From Selling
in Small Containers.
OBJECT TO KEEP COST LOW
Trade Confined to Eighth, Quarter
or Half-Barrels or Larger Packages-
Business With Euro
, pean Neutrals Regulated.
Millers will not be permitted to sell flour
In small packages after this month, accord
ins to a rutins ot the United States Food
Administration. The purpose Is to keep the
price down to the lowest mark possible.
The following bulletin has been issued by
the milling1 division of the Food Adminis
tration: "As a part of the regulations governing
milling, no flour mill operating under
agreement with the United States Food Ad
ministration shall, after December 1, 1917,
sell flour in other than one-eighth, one-quarter,
one-half barrel or larger packages;
and effective January 1, 1818, no mill shall
hip flour la packages other than those de
scribed. "The elimination of small flour packages
nay temporarily disturb the business of
flour millers who have established trade on
these small packages. This action Is, how
ever, deemed necessary as a means of keep
ing the cost of flour to the consumer as low
as possible, and has been adopted only after
full and careful consideration of all factors
Involved.
"Millers and others most, therefore, accept
It as a necessity -of war and comply with
It In a spirit of patriotic service.
"In districts of congested population,
where the small package is established, no
doubt retailers will meet the situation by
the sale of flour from bulk packages deliv
ered In grocers' sacks."
Sales of flour to European neutrals. In
dependently of the Food Administration,
are prohibited, according to the following
bulletin:
"In order to effect the proper control and
to centralize the handling of export flour to
European neutrals, and to Insure only such
quantities of flour moving to those coun
tries as may be necessary to meet the min
imum or determined requirements, hereafter
all sales and shipments of Clour to those
countries will be made exclusively by the
United States Food Administration.
"This regulation is effective Immediately,
and mills, exporters, blenders and other
handlers of flour will notify customers in
those countries that all Inquiries for pur
chase must be addressed to the United States
Food Administration, Milling Division, 74
Broadway. New York cyty. which division
is authorized to make sales for the United
States Food Administration, Grain Corpora
tion, through which all the business will be
handled.
"Flour to such countries will be sold In
plain sacks, with Identifying marks, but
without brand.
"Orders will be pro rated to mills."
HIDE MARKETS ACTIVE AND STRONG
Prices at Eastern Centers Are Steadily
Tending Upward.
Rides are firm in all the American mar
kets at the present time. In the East there
Is a brisk demand for packer hides and
prices are advanoing. The feature of busi
ness, as reported in mall advices just at
hand, has been the large turnover In for
eign dry hides and total trading Involving
Bogotas and other Colombians. Orincos,
Venezuelans and Central American varie
ties is estimated around 225,000 on the basis
of 41c for Orincos and mountain Bogotas,
40 c for Puerto Cabellos and LaGuayras
and 40c for Central Americans. Following
this business the market stiffened further,
with late sales of Central Americans up to
41c, an advance of a full cent over former
clearances, while Guatemalas sold up to 43c
for cities and 42c for countries.
The packer market continues decidedly
strong. New business Is restricted some
what, owing to light offerings, particularly
of heavy native and branded steers, for
which there Is a brisk demand. Native
steers lately brought the record price of
34 lc and butt brands of late kill realized
80c Heavy Texas steers also sold at 30c
and are now firmly held at lc higher, while
lats trading In Colorados was at 29c. Later,
activity developed in domestic packer brand
ed cows, with 60.000 September-October
sold at 23 hie.
Country hides, in keeping with other mar
kets, advance steadily, although the largest
buyers continue to resist the increases de
manded. Chicago buffs lately sold at 25 c
and heavy cows are so scares as to be worth
a premium when sold alone. Buffs from
Middle-West points are held up to 20c, with
some reports of as high as this figure paid.
Extremes range about the same in price
as other weight cows, but, on the whole,
are less active than heavier substance hides.
LOCAL BARLEY BIBS ARE RAISED
Northwestern Oats Are Steady, but Eastern
Oats and Corn Are Higher.
Barley bids were 50 cents to SI higher
at the Merchants' Exchange yesterday, but
offers for local oats were unchanged. East
ern oats and corn were firm and higher.
The Washington state crop report esti
mates the wheat decrease from last year at
8.417,000 bushels, the oats Increase at 8,
058,000 bushels, the barley decrease at 1,
884.000 bushels and the corn crop at 1,520,000
bushels.
Argentine wheat shipments for the week
were 629.000 bushels to the United King
dom, 108,000 bushels to the Continent and
127,000 bushels to non-European ports.
Weather conditions In the Middle West,
as wired from Chicago: "Northwest, oloudy,
foggy', misting and cool; Illinois, foggy, cool;
Missouri, cloudy and foggy, 50 to 69 degrees;
Hutchison, clear, 45; Omaha, cloudy, CO;
Davenport, heavy fog, 88; Ohio, partly

EGGS
Bayers Hold Back Owing to Lower Tendency
of Market. -The
egg market Is weak and probably
because prices are tending downward, buy
ing has become slack. Oregon ranch were
quoted at S051 cents, ease count, and 65
58 cents tor candled. Fresh Eastern sold
In a limited way at 45 cents. These Eastern
eggs are giving satisfaction and may put the
price ot Oregon eggs lower. Storage eggs
drag with offers to sell at 80 40 cents.
The butter market was quiet with a
weaker undertone.
Poultry receipts were fairly large and
the market was steady. Dressed veal was
weak, but pork prices were on a steady
Apple Stocks Increasing.
Loral apple stocks are increasing rapidly,
but the demand is good and the trade finds
no difficulty in maintaining prices. Two

yesterday.

STOCKS RALLY WELL
Liquidation Slows Down and
Bears Cover Extensively.
BANKERS SUPPORT MARKET
Ralls Score Gross Gains of 2 to 4
Points Industrials Also Fig
ure Prominently In Advances. '
Bonds Are Still Unsettled.
NEW TORE, Nov. 9. Substantial sup
port, presumably from banking sources, was
accorded today's stock market, with many
material recoveries from yesterday's fren
zied liquidation. Dealings were relatively
light, falling almost half a million shares
under the large total of the previous ses
sion, but the trend after the first hour was
mainly upward.
Liquidation seemed to have exhausted It
self and the bears covered more extensively
than at any time in the past fortnight.
Technical conditions seemed to favor the
rebound, albeit additional advances were not
wholly reassuring.
Today's momentum embraced almost as
many stocks as that which featured yes
terday's decline. There was a good inquiry
for rails, over a score of transportation Is
sues making gross gains ot two to tour
points.
Steels, coppers and equipments also fig
ured prominently at similar advances and
shippings asserted all their usual independ
ence, manifesting pronounced strength at all
times. Marines and steels were the sus
taining features ot the strong close, with
Union Pacific and Reading.
Specialties related to the war group av
eraged one to four-point gains, but these
were susceptible to profit-taking, although
Bethlehem Steel closed at 2 gain and
United States Steel ended IS up at 91!.
Sales amounted to 815.000 shares.
Greater weakness marked exchange rates
on Petrograd and Rome, both falling to
record discounts.
International Issues again constituted the
depressing features of the bond list, al
though domestic rails and Industrials also
lost ground. Liberty 4s ruled at par. but
the 3s made a low on the decline from
99.38 to 99.28. Total sales, par value. $3.
880.000. United States bonds, old Issues,
were unchanged on call.

GOVERNMENT BUYING TRADE FACTOR
Holiday Orders Are In Evidence and Retail
Business Has Improved.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Most reports indicate that a large vol
ume of business is passing, while at the
same time industry is active and collections
are prompt, but withal sentiment Is affected
by the adverse developments overseas and
the various propagandas to restrict con
sumption of foodstuffs as well as the buy-
ng ot non-essentials which unfavorablv af
fect distribution.
However, the main Dronelllns: Influence.
as for some time past, is governmental buy
ing, supplemented, of course, by large civil
ian demand, especially in soil-sustained
zones. In which regions neither world poli
tics nor depreciation In securities deterred
buying of essential articles. Indeed, mer
chants in some sections of the country, par
ticularly in the west and Southwest, are not
only anticipating Spring requirements, but
are reordering to fill broken stocks, back
logs to trade being furnished by realized
good crops in the West and 29-cent cotton
in the South.
Buying for the holidays Is In evidence and
in a general way retail trade has improved,
but in this respect reports tend to present
indications of conservative buying, probably
Decause oz inordinately high prices for the
goods purveyed, increased taxes snd higher
rents.
Capacity operations continue to character
ize industrial movements, there being, how
ever, some swinging from the production of
non-essentials to the more urgently needed
articles of war.
Bank clearings were $6,183,910,000 for the
week.
COFFEE IX TURKS MARKET IMPROVES.
Affected by Announcement of Closing of
Fort of Rio.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9. The announcement
that the Brazilian government had closed
the Port of Klo csused some covering or scat
tered buying in the market for coffee futures
here today, but in the absence of details as
to the cause of such action, or Its duration,
general business continued quiet. The opening
was unchanged to 2 points lower, under
scattering liquidation which may have been
connected with the unfavorable political news
from abroad. December sold off t 7.19e
and May to 7.61c later touching 7.23c and
7.65c on the rally. This bulge seemed to
meet considerable realizing, but last prices
were at practically the best showing, a net
advance or 1 to 4 points.
Closing bids December, 7.23c; January,
7.31c; March. 7.47c; May, 7.64c; July, 7.79c;
September. 7.93c.
Spot coffee was reported in fair demand
with prices steady on the basis of 7c for
Rio 7s and 9c for Santos 4s. Very few
fresh offers were reported In the cost and
freight market, thoss received being un
changed to slightly tower. New offers in
cluded Santos 4a at 8.90c and Rio 7s at 7.65o,
both American credits.
The official cables showed a decline of
B0 rels at Rio, with Santos spots unchanged
and futures uncnangea to 23 rels lower.

Indiutral Notes.
To complete the formal records in the
pending 15 per cent freight rate Increase
case. Eastern railroads have filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission written
applications for permission to raise rates
15 per cent, excepting rates on which in
creases were granted several months ago.
The roads promised to preserve established
differentials and rate groupings.
At the Interstate Commerce Commission
hearing on the application of the transconti
nental railroads for permission to increase
and adjust rates, the question of rightful
ness of a differential rate of 10 cents from
New York over Pittsburg was the main sub
ject of discussion between representatives of
the roads and the shippers who oppose the
changes proposed. The trunk lines were ac
cused of trying to obtain the advantage In
rates, particularly on steel from Atlantic to
Pacific points.
Direct action to control the price of bread
and fix the size of a standard loaf will be
taken soon by President Wilson In a proc
lamation placing all bakers under the li
cense system administered by Fi,M Admin
istrator Hoover. The bakers will be con
sidered as manufacturers and the terms of
the proclamation will make it possible for
the Food Administration to control price
and size of the loaf. Considerable reduction
of prices in many localities la expected to
be the immediate result.
Commodities generally was the subject of
a hearing before Examiner Dlsque, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in the re
opened 16 per cent advance rate case of the
Eastern railroads. The roads are seeKing
an upward revision of the rates on com
modities so that additional revenue may be
derived to meet usual war-time operating
costs.
