Hoover Reports Increase in
' Flour Production.
WHEAT MOVEMENT NORMAL
With. Few Exceptions, Mills Are
Well Supplied and Market
Is Being Carefully
Adjusted.
WASHINGTON', Nov. 24. Marked in
crease in flour production and normal
deliveries of wheat by farmers were
noted today by Food Administrator
Hoover in his October report to Con
gress. He reported that wholesale and
retail flour prices were rapidly adjust
ing themselves to the fixed wheat
prices.
"Country deliveries of wheat." the re
port said, "show a large increase over
those of last month, and an analysis
based on previous years' percentages
indicates that the normal percentage
of this year's crop has left the farm.
A large part of the movement of wheat
is being directed from the point of
origin to the mills, eliminating the
transportation burden caused by ship-
ment to the terminals and reshlpment
from there to the mills.
"With very few exceptions mills are
being supplied to the extent of their
need and an even distribution of wheat
among them is being maintained. Mills
are also running at a higher percent
age of operation than is usual at this
time of the year and the production of
flour as compared with that of a year
ago shows a marked increase.
"The price of flour generally at the
mills is fairly reflecting the wheat
prices and the wholesale and retail
flour prices are rapidly adjusting
themselves to the stabilized wheat
price.
"The policy of encouraging seed re
serves and offering mill reserves where
exhaustion of supplies seemed immi
nent without them has been extended.
"Voluntary agreement has been made
in certain sections of the country, no
tably on the Pacific Coast, by which
the Grain Corporation assumed charges
on wheat carried in country elevators
and warehouses in return for an agree
ment to permit the Grain Corporation
to direct the disposition of such wheat.
The purpose of this agreement is to
preserve wheat for mill reserves and
also to prevent the country dealer from
lowering his price to the producers be
cause of charges which may accrue on
wheat awaiting car service."
Receipts of 140.438.000 from grain
sales and expenditures of $43,446,000
for grain purchases during October
were reported.
