AMERICAN FLOUR BOUGHT.
English MiIIers Complain of the
LOss of Contracts for south Il
Africa. IA

The latest grievance of English
trade against America consists in the
government purchasing flour in the
United States for South Africa. A
writer in the London Morning Post de-
clares this action is fit subject for
an inquiry, and that IL constitutes a
most unfair handicap for English mill
ers, while the Americans, who pay
no taxes, are able to dispose of infe-
rior grades" IT appears that large
quantities are being purchased in
America on account Of the standard
brands and shipment being better
and ready at the dock. The cham
pion OF the English millers maintains
the government Is wrong in believing
the American article has these adj
vantages, averring that the English
mills are now fitted with machinery
superior to that in use in America.
and that they are quite able to supply
the demands for South Africa. The
protest, however, is not likely to deter
the government from patronizing this
new branch of American industry.
Another example of American ag-
gression calls forth protest, 1t APP
pears that a wealthy American is ne
gotiating to buy the famous Cars
halton Tor Casehorton) gates in the
old Surry village of that name, ten
miles from London. These are all
that now remain of the ancient pal
ace where the doomsday book was
compiled. They stretch 1870 feet, were
designed by Leoni, and are supposed
to be the finest specimens in the
world. The iron work is attached to
massive stone piers, surmounted by
groups of statuary. If the negotia-
tons are successful they will be taken
to America, though metropolitan art
circles are getting up fund in an en-
deavor, by outbidding, to retain them
in England.
