FLOUR FOR CHINA.
President Hill Thinks Chinese
viii Use 1t Instead VI
Of Rice.
WILL COST So PER BARREL.
The Scheme Will Not Affect
the Northwest Flour
Trade.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 6.-James J..
Hill, president Of the Great Northern,
while here, spent most Of his time IN
consultation with Woo Gen, Seattle
manager of the house of Wa ChonR q
Co. of Hong Kong, and made searching
inquiries respecting the disposition OF
Chinese towards -four as an article OF
food. Woo Gen was of the opinion
that if -four could be laid down IN
China for 6219 cents per sack OF 50
pounds, it could be sold at profit for
IS cents by dealers and compete with
rice. He thought if the great masses
of China once began to use flour they
would not go back to rice, and II 1T
could be placed within the reach OF
laboring classes,
A Demand Would he Created,
SO large that all the -four mills on the
Pacific coast could not supply one
tenth of the calls made on them. Hills
idea is to carry -four so as to give it to
the Chinese for 11a cents per pound
and bring return cargoes of rice so as
to supply the markets here at one-haif
cent per pound. He wants to be as
sured of a permanent demand before
taking up the enterprise, and says that
if the Great Northern does put on q
line of steamers they will be the larg-
est and best possible to be obtained.
The question Of terminus will be de-
termined at the lowest rate at which
-four can be placed on ships. Seattle,
he says, will be the place, provided the
condition is fulfilled This is under
stood by shippers here as indicating
that this place will have the terminus
provided the Asiatic line is set up.

Millers and Grain Men Talk About HIPS
Latest Commercial Scheme.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 6.-President
Hills little scheme for the supply OF
the Chinese market is not likely to
have any effect on the Minneapolis
flour trade or the Northwest wheat
raisers, except, perhaps, in a reflex
way. All the millers and grain men
have been very much interested in the
results of the Chinese-Japanese war
and its effect in the opening Of q new
market. It is, Of course, certain that
if such a nation as China begins to use
wheat and -four the effect on the
worlds market must be very marked.
But that Minneapolis will have any
share in the trade directly is not much
credited. California raises about Co.
600, 600 bushels of wheat Of allow grade,
much of which now goes to England.
