FLOUR MAY GO TO $40
BARREL, SAY M|LLERS
Managers for Minneapolis Concerns
See No Relief in Sight at
Present.
WHEAT SCARCITY IS GENERAL
Argentina's Crop Short-Mexico Has
Famine-Flour $3.50 Higher
than Last Year.

Rise in the price of -four until the
mills in America are selling spring
wheat flour at 81 a barrel, or $3.50
more than year ago. is brought to
light as one of the effects of the pres
ent condition of the wheat market and
the country's supply of the cereal. Ac-
eording to the Chicago Daily News,
managers of the Washburn-C Crosby
Company, the Pillsbury- Washburn Com
pany and the Northwestern Consoli-
dated Milling Company. which operate
what are declared the largest mills in
the United States, and practically fix
the price of -four, say there is no re-
lief in sight from present conditions,
and every indication is that the price
! of -four will continue to soar and may
go TO $40 barrel. The rise in the
wholesale millers' price is being fol-
lowed by a rise in the price to brokers
| and consumers and will result in ma
terially affecting the price of bread and
and other breadstuffs has also been in
creased, the rise in the price of rye
flour per barrel being about 80 cents in
less than a month.
The managers of the milling compa-
MES deny that there is any combination
to increase prices or to control the
business. They insist that the rise in
the price of flour is due to the scarcity
of wheat and breadstuffs in Europe
and other countries. to the insufficient
supply in the United States in the light
Of the demands which are now being
made and to the general wheat situa
ton.
The price for wheat will be stift all
through the summer, the millers le-
clare. The United States has grSwn ~
larger crop than a year ago, hut the
worlds supply is short. There is a
wheat, -four and bread famine in Next
CO. The price of Argentine wheat is
S1,25 per buShel and Of Winnipeg or
Canadian wheat about $1.27. The ship
ments from Argentina are short and
Argentina has been shipping principal
ly to Liverpool. This increased the Iiv-
erpool demand for American ship
ments.
1t requires five bushels of wheat to
make a barrel. Taken at $1.29 per
bushel the wheat in each barrel of -four
costs S6.45 Add to that 10 cents for
sacks or wood basins, % cents for
freight. II cents for delivery, cents
for storage and % cents for selling
and carrying accounts. That viii make
the cost price Of -four $3.50, from
which deduct 40 cents for "on-alls" or
the bran and other products saved from
the wheat. which makes the price $7.l0.
And in some Instances the freighf de-
livery. storage and other expenses are
higher than those given. 1t would not
be surprising in tla light of present
existing conditions and in the face Of
the outlook for the future that -four
would go to $40 per barrel

soTHERN DIVORCE IS LOST.
Nevada Court Denies Decree Asked
for by Actress Against Spouse.

Nevada Court Denies Decree Asked
for by Actress Against Spouse.
One of the most important legal de-
cesio1s ever written in a District Court
of the State of Nevada was handed
down and filed Monday in the second
judicial District Court in Reno by
Judge w. II. A. Pike when in an elab-
crate opinion on the marriage and di-
vorce law of Nevada, he announced his
refusal TO entertain jurisdiction Of the
celebrated proceeding begun last July
by Virginia Harmed Sothern for d.
vorce from T. ii. Sothern.
Judge Pixies decision, it is conceded,
settles beyond question the fact that
Mr.. Sothern cannot secure a divorce
from her husband unless either she or
her husband comes TO the State and
takes up such a residence there as
proves conclusiyely bona tide inten-
ton to remain there The particular
point settled is that on complaint filed
by nonresident plaintiff with proc
ess served on nonresident defendant,
who happens to be temporarily in the
state. no jurisdiction is secured for the
purposes of allowing a divorce decree
The effect of the decision will be
revolutionary. There are at least twen-
ty-fire actions which are withheld
awaiting the outcome of this investiga-
ton. and IT is probable that the seek
ers viii either return TO the East or
settle down to the former custom of
waiting six months, which custom was
religiously followed until the original
ity Of Mrs. Sothern's counsel devised
plan that up TO now promised hope.

a report that Sultan Abdul Hamid
had abdicated caused the greatest ex-

A rumor of the flight of the Sultan
