WILL RAISE PRICES.
A Big Flour Pool Organized by the
pillsburys.


Minneapolis, MINI. May S.-R. y. Hub
bard, the executive front of the linseed
oil trust, has succeeded, with the aid
of the Pillsburys, in perfccting the or
ganization OF the greatest millers' COM
bine ever put together in this country.
The purpose is to advance the price of
flour from the present low quotations.
TO secure satisfactory rail and water
transportation rates and to compel
every spring wheat grinder in the coun-
try to become part of the pool. There
are 500 spring wheat millers in the
United States. More than 100 have
joined the new pool, which had its in
ception last fall, reached head last
February and is now bona fide organi-
zation.
The pool has been incorporated. Its
name is the North American Milling
company. II is commonly known here,
in st. Paul, at Duluth and in southern
Minnesota as the American Milling COM
pany. 1t is the successor of the South
ern Minnesota Millers' association, of
which Hubbard was the leading spirit.
Representatives of the trust here claim
to represent 10 mills having a daily
capacity of 100000 barrels. The whole
aim of the organization is to protect
the gigantic Touring interests of Min
neapolis, now threatened by compe-
tition.
