The Flour Output.
In September local mills turned out but
81. 454 barrels of -four. against 81. 1853 barrels
in September of last year. a decrease this
year of 1914 barrels. Not in any month
since the new crop of wheat came on to
the market have local mills turned out as
much flour as in the corresponding months
of 1894. There are two causes for this.
The quality of wheat they require has
been difficult to purchase and then the
export trade has been at q very low ebb.
OF late there has been some improvement
in home trade, but foreign business is dis
appointing and the wheat market is SO
full manipulation on the part Of the millers
to make both ends meet. Local mills are
running now about cne-half their capacity.
