|DO THE MILLERS
WORK TOGETHER.
THE GRAIN TRADE HAS FOOD
FOR THOUGHT.
Conclusion Drawn from Apparent
Concert of Action Turnout the
Country Locally, the Situation Has
Added Interest from What Appears
to Be Contest for May Wheat.

Are the millers of America working
together to force the price of wheat
lower?
This is the question of the day at
the Minneapolis Chamber Of Com
merce. The local grain traders have
nothing to go upon but inference. They
know nothing of what is really going
on, and base their conclusions upon
surface indications. They may be
wrong, but from what has been seen,
this conclusion has been drawn and
is rapidly spreading thru the trade.
1t is a fact that the leading millers
OF Minneapolis, ST. Louis, Toledo, Mil
waukee, the eastern seaboard and the
central south have all been quoted
wheat is too high. The shutdown here
was followed by the simultaneous
closing of mills the country over, and
the three-day recess over Good Fri
day and Easter-not an unusual thing
was exaggerated in Importance. It
is also true that there is pressure on
the futures markets everywhere.
Nevertheless the millers are quietly
buying the cash wheat and taking the
actual wheat whenever they can get
it cheap enough to suit their views.

Meanwhile there is thought to be a
