Washington, July 16--Vice Consul
General Mclean has made a report

importation of American -four into

is not confined to the large cities of
Japan, but is becoming common
throughout that country He speaks
of three or four American built -four
mills, the largest having capacity of
$50 barrels a day, that are now helping
to supply Japan with flour There are
many small native mills of hand and
water power throughout the country,
but their product is of a coarse char
acter and they do not compete to any
extent with the imported stocks
American wheat also is being import
ed in Japan and the considerable
amount of flour made from it is being
sold there. The demand for flour
Throughout the Orient is rapidly in
creasing. the best points of consump-
