EASTERN FLOUR
MILLS CLOSING.
IL is SAID THEY CANNOT GET
ENOUGH WHEAT.
Pennsylvania Will Have to Draw
Heavily upon Minneapolis, as Only
-Four Mills in That State, Out of
An Unusual Condition All Thru the.
East
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Philadelphia, Feb 6.--Of twenty-seven
flour mills turnout the wheat section Of
Pennsylvania only four are running at
present The others state that they would
not care to run as practically no wheat
is being offered them These mills are
shut down for the reason that they. can
not get wheat. Farmers have little
back, which they are holding until they
have to sell it,
The amount back is small as the Penn
sylVania farmer is generally.a pretty free
seller around s5c per bushel. Besides this
the m1llers and farmers. in Pennsylvania
are In closer touch than in other COM
munities and the farmer generally takes
his views from the miller. At this time
OF year as rule in Pennsylvania when
roads are good and no farming can be
done, there are heavy deliveries Of wheat
Ihe large mills such as those at Harris
burg are now, obliged to draw their sup
plies from the west in order to keep run
ming half time. OF the few mills that are
running the majority are grinding part
Kansas wheat. In northern Pennsylvania
sections, in Philadelphia and also In Read
ing mills are grinding spring wheat no
No. Z red being, available;
The same conditions apply to Maryland
-Four of the largest mills are shut down.
Conditions in Maryland. however, are
worse than in Pennsylvania because what
iAl'ic wheat Is llOPlnS III pennsylvania is
OF sound quality, while much of that com
ing In from Maryland is Of poor quality
and does not make sound flour.
Flour stocks in resellers' hands have
been practically cleaned up and red win
ter flours have risen to about same price
as Kansas flour. Sixty days ago there
was a spread Of SO cents per barrel be-
tween the two. Kansas f1ours have not
advanced SO much, because the stock in
resellers' hands has not been entirely alb
sorbed. All other grades are practically
cleaned up.
The fact Of the shutting down of sc
many mills in Pennsylvania and Maryland
will mean increased demand for north.
western f1ours to supply local trade in
Pennsylvania, which is considerable.

his picture and it is reproduced here
with. Those who can pierce the dis
guise afforded by the scraggly
Whiskers and the beatific expression
will readily recognize the professor
in question. The figure is also ex-
tremely characteristic, and the orig
inal is already blushing in his sleeve
to learn that his little attentions to
a fair fellow tourist have aroused a
national interest.
1nasmuch as the narrative by
Miriam Nicholson shows that the girl
finally became engaged to another
fellow, the story SO far as "the Min
neapolis professor" is concerned is
finished. However, there will be much
quiet speculation on the University OF
Minnesota campus as to his identity
and in the meantime the professor
isn't saying a word. OF course, there
was nothing discreditable to him in
the transaction, but just the same he
is doubtless deeply grateful to Fogarty
for taking on the whiskers.

LELAND JURY DISAGREES

Second Case Against the Bank President
.+', Yet to Be Tried.
Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Mimi, Feb. Elm the case of
the state against G. F. Leland for &C
cepting bank deposits when he knew his
bank was insolvent, the jury this noon
was discharged being unable to agree.
The jury stood at the end of twenty two
hours seven for the defendant and five for
the state.
The case hinged on the question as to
whether Leland knew the bank to be in
solvent until he had been unable to get
money from Charles A. Towne. Had he
secured this $4,000 he could have had
$4,000 from the father Of the young de-
faulter, johnson. This might have tided
the bank over.
