OIL ADVANCES
TO EIGHTY FIVE CENTS
DURING PAST few DAYS
SCARCITY OF FLAxsEED IS
SAID TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE
INCREASE AND PAINTING TO
BE NOR EXPENSIVE is THE
PREDICTION
The Production of the Seed Fall
ing OF Is Attributive to the De-
creased Aerease-Flaxseed $40 In
st. Louis Market.

The home builders viii be hit
by the general advance in the price
of paints, yarnish and kindred arti-
cles. in which iinseed oil is a COM
ponent part, which viii be declared, 1t
is predicted, early in the year.
Though every form Of improve
ments in which hnseed oil plays a
part will be affected, the home build
ers will be hit the hardest.
This is the result Of an unusual adj
vance in the price Of flaxseed, for
which no definite "a has yet
been assigned.
Flaxseed sold last week in the
st. Louis market for $3.50 a bushel,
the highest price, it is said, ever paid
there. This, however. is said to be
modest in comparison with the pric-
es that have been paid elsewhere. 1t
is selling at $500 and $2.0s a bush
ell in Duluth, Mimi, and other mar
kets of the extreme northern section
of the country.
Dakotas Flax-Producina States.
North and South Dakota are said
to be the greatest of flaxseed-pro-
ducing States of the Union at pres
ent, and part Of the crop of Mani
toba is marketed in Duluth.
A duty Of rs cents a bushel is
paid to the government on flaxseed
from Manitoba or any other foreign
country, but as this leaves the sell
er s1.75 a bushel, he still has a good
margin on the cost of production.
The governments estimate Of the
crop in the United States. a few
months ago. was 31,0O0,O0 bushels.
From adyices received of oil man
ufactures, apparently all the seed in
the country will be used up before
the coming of the next crop.
Value Of Crop Now Higher.
The market vaue of the crop some
years ago ranged from 81 to $l.25
a bushel. Kansas formerly was a
great fiax-producing State, but as
the crop was said to take much Of
the vitality out Of the soil it was
Abandoned and the land sown in
wheat and other crops.
Linseed oil is now selling at S5c
a gallon at retail in Mexico stores.
A year ago the prices ranged from
60 to CSC a gallon. AS yet, it is
said. there has been no change in
the prices on paints.
