the high price'of flour, and the most
reliable reason for it is, the spec
ulators are cornering the wheat, and

up the -four in ten and twenty thou

there is absolutely no good reason for
flour to be as high as at the present
The home mills here cannot get
wheat sufficient to supply local de-
mands. A man WHO will buy wheat
and flour at this time for the purpose
OF speculation is almost heartless.
