POOR FLOUR MARKET
MilIers Overrate the Value

From. The Journal bureau. Roon, xs. Post
Building, Harrington.
Washington, Jan. 4.-Eugene Seeger
American consul general at Rio de ia
neiro, writes to the state department that
in his judgment, after careful study Of
conditions, American flour millers and
wheat growers overestimate the i'm
portance of the Brazilian market. Consid-
ering the population, the total flour con-
sumption in Brazil is very small. The
lower classes, 80 per cent Of the popula-
ton, do not use -four, and the home pro-
duction of -four ia SO much in excess Of the
demand that the Brazilian milling industry
does not now yield an interest on the
capital invested. The Brazilian mills are
fed exclusively by wheat from Argentine
and Uruguay. There is limited demand
for American flour In Brazilian coast
cities, but this demand will not materially
increase for many years, Mr.. seeger says.
