TTIE OTtEGONIAN. SATTJItDAT, DECEMI2EH 21, 1913. FLOUR MILLING BUCK jMhristmas Candies I Hazelwood Candies I Step by step the Government is Withdrawing- Its war control from food prices. Yesterday the Food Adminis tration made the Important announce ment of the cancellation of flour milling regulations. This will throw tne market wide open to millers and deal ers to make such prices as they see fit on Dour and mill feed, subject only to the laws that pertain to profiteer ing. Hortlmert Hm Notified. fur, H. Hooser, lh charge of the cereal business of the Food Administration In this section, notified millere of the cancellation In the following bulletin: "All food American flour milling regulations. Including fair price schedules, are hereby canceled, effec tive immediately. "The above does not cancel any gen eral Food Administration regulations which may bo still effective. "Neither la the handling of exports changed. "Mills are stall required to nave li cense In order to operate. ".Reports as now being furnished by mills are to be continued." Karb:et Open to Millers. The action of the Administration practically restores the flour milling industry to pre-war conditions. Prices will naturally undergo a general read justment, but millers and dealers de clare there can be no radical cheap ening of quotations as Ions as the Gov ernment guarantees a J2.20 per bushel price for wheat. This wheat price will hold until June 80, 1920. Some of the millers favor the step taken by the Government, but It does not meet with the approval of others. Price Decline Not Expected. "We will go back now to the making of patent flour, as we did before the war," said J. W. Ganong. general man ager of the Portland Flouring Mills Company. "I do not smow what the effect will be on prices, but I presume flour will decline somewhat If millfeed advances. There will be no such rise in feed, how ever, as occurred at Minneapolis. We have made no change In our prices yet. but will probably do so the first of next week. "I think It would have been better If the Food Administration had retained supervision over flour and feed prices as long as the Government maintains the wheat price at the present level." FLOCK. HKGTJXiATIONS AEE OFF Sharp Rise In Wheat Prices Follows Federal Announcement. WASHINGTON, Dec 20. Cancellation of all flour milling regulations. Includ ing fair price schedules and the price and Quantity restrictions on the sale of wheat flour by millers, which officials expect will result In cheaper flour, was formally announced late today by the Food Administration. Notification of the action was tele graphed last night to all agents of the administration's grain corporation, and today there was a sharp rise In the price of wheat, bran and other mill feeds on the Minneapolis market, which officials expect to be followed by a drop in flour prices. Existing regulations restricting mar gins of profit on flour and millfeeds remain in effect, as do general regu lations of the Food Administration pro hibiting profiteering, hoarding and un fair practices, which officials said would be strictly enforced. The prediction of cheaper flour to the community. It was said at the Food Administration, is based on the imme diate rise today and price of millfeeds, amounting to several dollars a ton. Close observation of the market trend in flour and millfeeds, made by the Food Administration's milling division and grain experts, it was said, showed that with every upward movement of feeds came a fall in the price of flour on a basis of an average drop of three and four-hundredths of a cent a bar rel on flour to every 1 a ton Increase on millfeed.
