FLOUR is AGAIN UP.
Price Increased Ten Cents Per
Cwt. by MiIIers.

Three of the six milling companies
in Topeka have raised the wholesale
jobbing price of flour ten cents per
hundred pounds. The grocers conse-
quently have also increased the price
Of retail flour an exactly proportionate
amount.
The jobbing price has been s2.40 for
the past two weeks for a hundred
pounds. Those who have raised are
charging $3.50. The following whole
sale rates We're obtained from the
managers of the mills this morning
and are therefore official:

As a reason for the advance of yes

is directly responsible. This was as

which have raised their rates.

New York, April All previous high

of the associated banks of this city.

Gus to the raise. was "a cents. Two
weeks ago when the decline in the
price of flour was made by the local
millers. cash wheat could be bought at
80 cents in Kansas City.
Wholesale flour dealers, who do not
manufacture, state that a difference of
two cents in cash wheat makes no diff
ference in the price of a barrel of -four.
Then too, some criticisms are heard
against the local millers, in the shape
Of the question: why can flour, when
cash wheat is SO, be reduced in price
as it was two weeks ago, and now
must be raised again when cash wheat
is only 81, or one cent higher"
On Tuesday. March Is. when the re-
cent cut in the price of flour was made,
May wheat with option was quoted at
SSh cents. The quotations for May
wheat with optoin are also herewith
given for the last five days, leading up
to the increase of the price of flour yes
terday. On paper they look good. But
it must be remembered that cash
wheat" is used to make flour. and Op-
tional May cereal is only used to hedge
the price.

W. L. 1dylOT OF the IaNlOI Elevator
company one of the concerns which did
not increase the price, when asked this
morning whether the raise was neces-
sary said: 4 see no reason for it now.
The cash price of wheat is changed only
a little, just one cent. Two cents even
should make no difference in the price
OF a barrel Of flour. 1 am frank to say
that can see no reason for the increase
in the rates"
J. L. Shellabarger, of the Shawnee
Milling firm, replied in answer to a
request for an explanation of the in
creased price, that the advance of
wheat in Kansas CITY is responsible.
The wheat went up there, and that
consequently regulates our prices" was
his conclusion
The grocers over the city generally
have advanced their prices. Twenty
five pound sacks of -four which have
Eeen retailing for 20 cents will now
cost rs cents, and fifty pound sacks
costing $1-40 up to yesterday will now
be sold to the public for S1.45.
THE retail prices of -four" said a
grocer this morning. "are naturally
regulated by what we have to pay to
the millers. The understanding at our
store is that the price has been raised
by all the millers, so we have pushed
up our rate 10 cents, the same advance
which the companies have instituted.
We get a good many kicks on the
price when it goes up That always
comes with a raise in rates"
