"The Drtco of our flour is arettinar ao

local representative of Mitsui ft Co..
known as the Rothschilds of Japan.
"Prices being asked here ' for both
wheat and flour are getting beyond the
reach of Japanese buyers. We are not
compelled to purchase our supplies here,
but go to the cheapest market, quality
considered. Australia Is practically on
a European exporting oasis at this
tlms while the Pacific northwest Is so
high that export business is not al
lowed. . .
"Mitsui & Co. do not' have all the
space on outgoing liners to China and
Japan but have considerable. We char
tered an entire ship, the Unkai Maru,
to take a cargo of breadstuffs to Japan.
The ship is bringing a cargo of sugar
to British Columbia from the orient and
will arrive here in time for loading next
month."
While one local mill has 'advanced
Its quotation on patent flour 20c a bar
rel to $4.70, the other three mills are
still quoting- $4.60 as their price. The
market has advanced 20c a barrel in
California and an effort Is being made
on Puget sound to put that market on
the same basis today.
Outside of the one mill that has a ad
vanced its quotations, Portland millers
were undecided in their " views this
morning as to any immediate rise.
However, the impression is general that
the rise will be forced soon.
Export market is firm but quiet at
the recent advance. -
