stunning blow consumers Of flou;

were elevated just 60 cents barrel
as compared with twenty -four hours
previous, being held at $715 a barrel.
Second qualities Of flour that sold
for $500 last week were quoted at
$6-40 a barrel after today's raise.
Flour that commanded $7.15 bar
rel today sold in August for $3.50. The
reason given for the advance in the
cost OF flour was the fact that owing
to the abnormal European demand for
breadstuffs cash wheat in Chicago
today had touched s1.36 IA, the high
est January price in more than forty

culative option, May delivery up to

than 10 cents in O week and of 8
cents or more above last night. Many
