FLOUR PRICES
 NOT ID. GO UP

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 12-President Washburn, of the Washburn-Cr Crosby Flouring Co.,, announced today that flour would remain at it's present price, because the demand from Flu rope would not be felt for several months, besides which the exports would not total more than the regu- lar exports of ordinary years.
 Washburn predicted that the farm CTS could not hold back the wheat as most of them were unprepared to store it, and further the banks would demand the money advanced to the farmers to move the crops, which, along with the fact that the millers had purchased millions of bushels of wheat for delivery in September, Oc- tober and November, assured them of sufficient wheat for several months at least.
