BIG CARGOES OF FLOUR
SHIPPED TO EUROPE
CONTINUED From First Pase1

49, 'SotlhiHueO from FHst TtSc'J
cargo OF 1000 barrels is now on the
steamship East Point on it's way to
Liverpool, and tho steamship West
Point, bound for London, Is just sail
ing with another cargo Of $500 barrels.
Another large shipment will coon be
made to Gibraltar. from Newport News.
This shipment was intended originally
(. to go by way OF London, but since
the British government has issued or
dcrs that no foodstuT shall DO export
cd from tho United Kingdom, the car
SO will go to Gibraltar direct. 1t is be-
lieved that this cargo is destined for
some Mediterranean port, and is prob
ably consigned to the French govern
ment.
1t is expected that these tremendous
orders for -four will continue for six
months after the war is ended. and
when that Will be. even the experts are
not guessing.
DAILY OUTPUT OF $500
nhtRELS NOT SURPASSED.
The Dunlop Mills are well prepared
for any order. however large, that may
como. The capacity OF the combined
mills is $500 barrels q day. daily out
put that is not surpassed by any mill
in the country. and there Is no portion
of the globe in which the Richmond
-four is not known. The mills arc now
filling the largest orders I'm their his
tory OF 116 years. and they bid fair TO
operate At fun capacity until long af-
ter the gigantic conflict in Europe
comes to its tragic close.
"a weekly letter gotten out by the
Dunlop Mills shows that the exports OF
wheat and Hour continue on Il very
large scale. the exports for August hay
Ing been 2.,35o,000 bushels, making n
total OF 81, 100000 bushels for the two
months ending August 81. rs against
4l,60o,00 bushels for the same period
I'm 1913. II is predicted that the cN
ports for September will lee in the
rciEbbovhood Of $4,000, 900 bushels. and
81 this estimate bc later verified 10y tho
government, this country will have cx-
ported S1.0o0,0o0 bushels as against
lA6.ooo.oOo the total exports for the
preceding year. This means that the
exports of wheat and -four for the first
three months of the present crop equal
tho exports for the preceding nine
months. Furthermore. much moro
would have been exported but for the
difficulty in shipping and selling TO the
foreign exchange.
SOME FIGURES AS TO
EXPORT WHEAT CROP
n tho government estimate of tho
winter wheat crop be correct. there Will
be available In this country for cN
port this year 275.000.000 bushels, to
be shipped q; the rate OF 100000
buhscls ~ month II the government
estimate he incorrect by so much as
authorities insist upon. there will be
but 13a.0oo,0o0 bushels 10 go forward
during the next nine months, at tho
rate of 100000 bushels a month
The exports for the Same nine months
OF last year were S7000.0o0 bushels
OF at the rate OF 1000o,000 bushels II
month
There is a shortage in the Canadian
wheat crop. and shortage exists In
practically every wheat-growiug coun-
try on the globe except the United
States. and this year the United states
VIII have to be the grAnury of the
world. 1t is said that tho European
demand for the next twelve months
will be AN unprecedented scale.
Every bushel OF wheat Will find Il
ready market. The British government
is so alarmed over the prospect of
famine prices. II Is said. that societies
arc being organized TO SEQ that every
foot of area in her colonies available
for tho planting OF cereals is Guilt
