WHEAT JUMP
CAUSES
HIGH FLOUR,

The recent jump in the price OF wheat
considerably beyond the dollar mark has
had It's effect on the -four market and
that important necessary OF life has ad-
vanced on an average OF 80 cents per bar
rel. retail. for some OF the standard
brands. The wholesale price has taken
an even greater squirt. ranging from IS
cents TO 81 per barrel
The retailers are now asking from So
TO 81 barrel for first class winter wheat
flour. AS the price OF wheat continues
TO so up IL is considered likely by the
various dealers that there will be a
sharp rise I'm the retail price OF hour.
A lot OF 1000 barrels OF -four was recently
sold at wholesale in this city for t5.S
per barrel. while the same brand com
manded only 81 a barrel less than three
months ago
The reason given for the fact that the
retail rate has not kept pace with that
OF the wholesalers is said to be that
most OF the retail dealers had laid In a
supply before the advance came and are
thus able to sell much cheaper than II
they bought AT the present wholesale
rates. Two causes have contributed to
this condition: First the transportation
lines, both rail and steamers have been
so hindered by the cold weather that
they have been unable TO move -four
from the mills In the middle Northwest
to Eastern points, and second. the Rus
sian-Japanese war in the Far East has
forced upward the American market for
foodstuffs and may eventually effect all
other edibles.

the Song" ''The Ninty and Nine and
"John vi: 16." The later as a text served
as a starting point for an eloquent ap-
peal for acceptance of Christ. In which
address the pastor, Rev. John Finch. ex.
planned that ''If you know you are lost
YOU will desire 10 be saved; II you desire
10 be saved you will seek TO be saved; II
YOU seek to be saved you shall be saved
