Wheat, Barley and Other Grains Ad- vance While Coffee and Sugar Still Soar-Meat About

Chicago, Sept. FoodsluIfs which might have been affected by an influx of Canadian products had Iaurier and his governmenj no; been defeated in Canada yesterday, rose sharply in price in all American sup ply centers today: wheat led the ad garce and was followed late in the day by flour when millers ignored their previous price lists and ad- iusted their quotations to figures more commensurate with the ad- yaneed cost of the grain staple.
 Oats too felt the effect ot the Canadian vote and as result con- sumers may expect soon to pay In- creased prices for breakfast foods The initial meat of the day in tact seems destined to bear the brunt oi higher living costs within the next few months as it needed only today's developments in the trading pits to add force to the recent advances III coffee and sugar.
 The cost of toasG and biscuit, wheat cakes and porridge, it is proD able will be added to the woes ol the housekeeper.
 The greatest advance in wheat dur ing the day was at Duluth. There traders were paying as high as eignp cents bushel more for the gran than they did before reciprocity WAS rejected. Minneapolis, the greatest milling center of the country show ed maximum net advance of SIX centS paying SLOT 1-2 for 'his months delivery.
 increases of less sensational character were recorded at Kansas City, St. Louis. Omaha and ChlcAso.
 Immense stocks of grain in the elevators of this city acted as - check to d severe advance here anu brokers on the board of trade hougat wheat for about three cents more O beshel than they had paid yesterday The Chicago market was the lowest of the important grain centers.
 It is by no means certain that to- days advances in the price of wheat and aayed fpod4tuffs indicate that the maximum has been reached.
 one of the most prominent wneal dealers in Chicago adances the op inion that spring wheat uhe grade used most extensively for fine flour is due 10 increase in cost 20 cents a bushe. There is no guarantee that the extraordinary selling, which today nela down the price in Chica- go and indirectly affected line mar kets in other cities will be long con- tinued.
 further blow to consumers or ali least many of them may result when maltsters have studied the sit nation in barley markets. tn some centers the price advanced as much as eight cents today.
 This, if maintained win alice brewers and the smaller sized beer glasses may again become popular with saloon keepers.
 An important factor in the barely situation is the conviction of many dealers that the greater portion Canadas S ten million bushel barley surplus will reach American brew CTS. This stock has been relied on to relieve the pressure resulting from a short crop in this country
 There is a grain of comfort for the householder, however 'n the meat situation. While packing house products rose in price today, they did so only out of sympathy wi1n grains. Canadian reciprocity ac- cording to experts had no direct CT feet on meat products and is not likely to add to the cost of lard, bacon and ham.
