ket from going any higher. The best
eastern high patent -four Is now selling
In this city retail at S2,40 and $3.50, as
against 1920 for the best Utah high
patent, a point beyond which the mar
ket will now go. one iobber says:

Seattle or Portland the consignees pay

dent that the conditions in this city
were purely local and If outside flour
was shipped in here In any quantities
the result would be unfavorable to
Utah mills SO much for allowing Col
0rado spectators to sobble up 100. 900
bushels of Utah wheat when they were
needed at home,
