LOCAL MARKETS.

That most of the western mills have
made an advance in the price of flour
and predict that 1t will go higher, is
the report made by grocery dealers,
several of whom have made slight ad-
vances III the retail price. Not all
grades of flour are being affected, but
several big companies have boosted
the wholesale price, citing the Euro
pean war as The cause of the advance.
One big milling company declares that
the raise Is caused. by the high .rice
of wheat and states he Is offering $1.35
per cwt for wheat. Sugar stands
about steady. Beet sugar sells at 81
TO 1925 and cane from $3.50 to So per
hundred. Peaches are beginning to fall
off in quantity. but there are still
plenty on the market at 81 per bust ell
and so to 60 cents per crate. num-
Der of changes are noted in the mar
ket today.
