AN ADVANCE IN WHEAT
SENDS PRICES SOARING

Owing to the unusually high price
of wheat, which began going up
about two or three weeks ago, owing
to 'cornerr madefon tho supply OF
the United States by Patten, the Chi
cago wheat king, the Fiorence Maca'
roni factory today announced an in
crease on the wholesale price of is
products.
The raise is uniform of ten cents
ON every, twenty five pound box, or
fcrty cents per hundred. There are
some boxes of maoaroni that weigh
only eight and ten pounds, but the
rate is effective here, pro rata. as on
the larger boxes.
Bakers over the country are either
raising the price of their bnsestuffs
or reducing the size Of the loayes of
bread. 1t is necessary to do this,
they claim, In order to make q living
ont of the busi1ess. While no steps
of tins kind have been taken here, it
is expected that something along that
line will occur in the near future.
As the result of the corner" the
price of flour in the country is higher
in some places than 1t has been
kown to be since the civil war, and
the profits accruing to Mr.. Patten
will come out of the pockets of the
opsumer, which, as n general thing
ara people who can not afford to pay
the increased price.
