M|LlERS DISCUSS WHEAT CROP
NOW ESTIMATE THAT UTAH
WILL RAISE 1000, 900 BUSHELS
This May Be Reduced if the Hot and
Dry Weather Continues-WiI
Take An Outing.

AT meeting of the State Mfllers' as
ISOLATION yesterday it was decided to
take an outing July "A, when all the
millers, their families and friends. will
drive up Big Cottonwood canyon as far
as Knutson'S grove and spend the day
IN an old fashioned picnic
There was no additional raise made
IN the prices OF mill products at this
meeting and the understanding is that
the price of flour will remain as il is
at least until the next meeting of the
association.
ON the whole the millers are pleased
with the outlook for wheat and flour.
Ihey all report that they were busy and
nave good prospects ahead for business
Ihe outlook for wheat in the state as
seen by the millers is not nearly so
good as 1t was six months ago. June
. the prospect was for a 5000. 900 bushel
crop, similar to the record breaker of
1898 Now the crop is placed at 1000
OOo, and if the weather continues hot
and dry this estimate viii have to be
lowered.
The prospect for shipping TO the
coast is better than for some time past.
Wheat is cents higher there than il
was at the lowest point some time ago
1t is l3 cents higher in Chicago. If the
war in Africa is closed, shipping ia
cihties will be so improved that a good
demand for wheat may be looked for
II is estimated that there is a surplus
OF Z,OO0,OOO bushels of wheat stil in
Utah- There viii be no outlet bv wav
OF texas for the next year as there is
an unusually good crop this year in
that state. ~

stock and they were to receive u 900
