ADVANCE IN FLOUR
IS A POSSIBILITY
Likely to Come Should Wheat
Again Go to the Height
Of a Dollar.
OPINIONS OF THE MILLERS.
ACTION OF THE WHEAT MARKET
is HIGHLY PROBLEMATiCAL-
NO INCREASE FLOUR AT THE
PRESENT TIME.

Should wheat once more soar above
the 81 level. the price of flour will in
crease proportionately. This is the
opinion of local millers when question
ed as to whether the rurnor that flour
would increase Immediately in cost,
had any foundation.
Charles Carpenter of the Richmond
Roller mills. thinks the wheat quota
tions will remain low as long as the
present financial cloud hovers over the
country and particularly in the East. If
this clears up within the course of the
next few weeks. the quotations on
wheat will once more start their climb
pass the 81 mark, the price of flour
will necessarily be increased also.
The entire proposition is now one e
speculation and is indeed probematic-
al. The wheat market is most
treacherous one to speculate on. and
millers say that dependence clnnot be
placed upon its actions. The recent
financial furry has lessened the great
export demand for the grain, and there
is much speculation as to whether
wheat will again reach the 81 figure
soon. There may be and there may
not be, great export demand for the
cereal after the clearing up of finan-
cial affairs generally. For the present
at least there will be no change in
flour prices.

SELL DANIEL BOONE
OIL COMPAN LEASE
Concern in Which MANY Rich
mond People Were Inter-
ested Changes Hands.
HAD REMARKABLE RECORD
TIME OF THE GREAT OIL CRAZE
HAS BEEN WILDLY RECALLED
BY THE LATEST TRANSACTION
MADE.
HAD REMARKABLE RECORD

The Daniel Boone Oil company, one
of the oldest and undoubtedly the best
known oil company in Delaware cOun-
ty. and in which large number of
Richmond people were interested. has
sold it's lease to G. w. Raymond, an oil
operator of considerable experience.
Mr.. Raymond, who has been operating
in Delaware county for some time will
continue to operate the lease and will
fall. He expects to increase the num-
Der of wells next summer.
The sale of the noted lease is the
first transfer of the property which
has perhaps produced a greater guam
tity of oil than any other piece of ter
ritory of its size in Eastern Indiana.
The Daniel Boone was one of the
first successful companies to be formed
in Delaware county during the days Of
the oil boom. In fact. the company
was organized before the boom had
developed TO any great extent. The
stock which first sold for 20 cents I
share. increased first to 81 and with
the development work: continued until
at one time it was officially quoted at
more than S12 share and difficult to
purchase at that price.
A Remarkable Record.
To begin with. the production of
the lease increased with the drilling OF
every well. Every shot of nitroglyc-
crime brought more fluid and an in
crease in the valuation of stock. The
company continued and immense divi-
dends began to be declared monthly.
New machinery was added, and with
the increasing production, the stock
scared until the highest point was
reached. There were two good powers
upon the lease, and sixteen wells pro-
ducing immense quantities of oil daily.
The early success of the Daniel
Boone was one of the principal causes
of the oil fever that swept the state in
which nearly 100 oil companies were
formed. Many Richmond people
caught the fever and invested heavily
in differen companies.
