LOWER FLOUR PRICE .
EXPECTED BY MILLS
Setting of Wheat Price Inter
preted by Grain Men.

Minneapolis, Aug. 30.-Substantial
reductions in the price of flour and
fair returns to the producers of wheat
will result from the fixing of $2.2D
as the price for No. northern spring
wheat at Chicago, in the opinion Of
local millers and grain men.
The price of S2.20 for the best grade
OF spring wheat at Chicago means that
the price In Minneapolis will be $2.1i
or $2.1J n bushcl, according TO the
grain men here.
General satisfaction with the gov
efnmcnt price and a relief that it was
now known was voiced by the grain
trade in general.
The price fixed will naturally mean
some reduction in the price of flour,
said John Crosby of Washburn Crosby
company. I'VE cannot say how much
flour will be reduced in price. 1t all
depends on the government. The gov :
ernment will determine finally how
much we are to be allowed for cost
of manufacture at the price we are
to receive.
