PRICE OF FLOUR ADVANCES.
Has Gone Up 30 Cents "a Barrel Since
Last April.

Last ApriI.
CHICAGO, August 5.-F'lour is rising IN
price, and has reached s. a barrel. Last
April it cost $40, the low price OF the
year. The advance has been steady since,
and some of those in the trade think II
will continue until wartime prices will
prevail.
The millers say that every advance of
one cent in the price of wheat means an
advance of five cents in price of a barrel
of flour, ard they expect a continuous ad-
vance in the price of wheat, basing their
opinions on the purchases of foreigners,
reports of short crops and the fact that
this country has gotten rid of the most of
its surplus.
