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.
