has resulted in Il very rapid and pro.
iitable increase of export of flour from
the United States during the past ten
or fifteen years. The increase is more
marked this year than ever.
The enterprise of some of these
Western millers is something wonder.
full. 1t takes even the sharpest New
England intellect to compete with
them, and il is fact that the bread
stuff trade of this country and the
old world is working rapidly under
their control. Boston flour merchants
find that the travelling agents of these
mills have been into the store OF
nearly every country dealer with their
samples and prices, and Boston and
New York merchants, attempting to
buy grain in the west, find that Min
nesota and other Western millers have
been there before them and taken all
the best grades of wheat. or have
contracts for it even before it is
grown. Lately they are becoming
extensive operators abroad. Many
of the Minnesota mill-Owners deal
directly with the merchants of Lon.
don. Liverpool. Paris and other princi-
pal European cities. British millerS
and grain dealers are finding il more
profitable to let their mill.stones stand
idle and to buy Hour for their custom
ers from the millers OF our Western
State. These Western millers carry
enormous quantities of flour and
grain. They buy for months ahead,
and send out vast quantities of flour
to be sold on commission, not only in
the markets of this country. but also
in Europe. Hence their returns are
necessarily slow, and great deal of
capital is required.

American and Minnesota Flour

Under the head of American
Flour" the Boston Herud pays the
following compliment to American
millers:
IL is a fact well authenticated, and
not denied by French and British
miiicrs, that the Touring mills of this
country are long way ahead OF their
own. and the American -four is stead
lily gaining in favor abroad. While
our millers, particularly in Minnesota
and other parts of the West, have
used the best mechanical brains of
the country in the invention of mills
and unlimited capital has been freely
spent in their construction and reno.
walton, in the old world the case has
been otherwise. The badly con.
structed flour and grain mills of fifty
years ago are i'm use to-day, and the
capitalists of England and the CONT.
nent have felt no inclination to put
money in the mere improvement of
methods of grinding wheat. But the
result is this: The English, French
and German millers find themselves
unable to grind -four us cheapiy,
economically and rs rapidly as the
American miller is able to do, not.
withstanding the relative cheapness
of labor in those countries. This
