Merer before in the history of the pacific northwest ha there oeen such an enormous demand for, wheat with available supplies ao light and in ' aueh.few bandsT Eighty centa la now ' beln freelv offered by mlllera for blueatem wheat, and very llttia atook can ba aecured at even thia nigh ngure. Rvn rinh whMt la being Bought aa high aa IS centa a buahel, and Wlllam etta valley atock ia ranging around the same figure. Never before baa there been such a drain on thia market for export flour. Never before have tnillara had the altua tlou ao muoh In their control aa at thia tlme, They can eell every-barrel of flour they hope to manufacture"for the next six months at prices, that would ordinarily aeem impossible. So Insistent la the export demand for flour at this time that the Chinese and , Japanese ara selng which can outbid the other In getting supplies. A. short time ago millers were freely offering their export brands of Oour at 88.881 a barrel but now the buyers of the Orient are themselves offering ls.10, ana somstimss more, for thia same grade of stock. So enormous has been the demand, however, that practically all the regular export quality bat been sold, and recently some of the smaller exporters have been selling their better grade of local flour for Oriental use. As a general thing, the Orient takes the poorest grade of flour it can get. Just so the price is right. In the eaat the mlllera grind out what la called "Red Dog" flour, .or third grade. On the Pa cific coaat, however, there la nothing ground under second grade, and that la tha reason why eaatern millers can sometimes undersell thoaa of the Pa clfio coast, even after absorbing the rail freight charges across the conti nent --- -.--,- - i. . . . While export vslues of flour have shown enormous advances of late, there has been a tendency , among millers to hold down the price of local Brand Just at this time millers are doing very little encouraging to sell flour to either the local or export trade, the question at this time being not to sell the flour, but to get the wheat to grind. It Is a proposition of first catch tha hare. , THOMAS USURPS COLIfilUIEE IliH No Legal Campaign Committee r In Which Name Thomas Is ' Mailing Uterature.;? ' .
