Flour-Local millers manage to keep
the current output of flour pretty well
sold up to production, without a great
amount going out for consignment ON store.
There have been some fairly large amounts
inquired for recently, but the bids were not
up to the views of local millers. 1t would,
perhaps, be to the interest of manufacturers
to hold back from sale their products until
the demand will take it at figures showing a
fair margin of profit There is very little
0nTR of
while some might withdraw from the compe-
tition Others would undoubtedly offer their
trade at cheap prices to widen their circle
of consumption. There is no flour trust,
