LIMITATION PROBABLE.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 15.-Limita-
ton of the price of -four at the mill
and over the grocery counter is not
unlikely to be the eventual result OF
an investigation of the milling indus
try by government experts, whose pre-
liminary report is now in the hands
OF Food Administrator Hoover.
PRICE STILL HIGH.
Although the regulation OF the price
of wheat by the government has re-
duced the cost of -four to the consumer
SC or 81 a barrel since last May, &C
cording to the food administration.
the government investigation shows
that flour sold at retail now at $40
and $l1 barrel is still unduly high.
The millers are shown to have made
immense profits in the recent flour
panic
For the exorbitant price Of -four.
which has increased the cost Of bread
and caused great suffering among the
poor, the report made to Mr.. Hoover
blames chiefly the extravagant selling
methods Of the millers.
FEAR OF BREAD RIOTS.
III it is likely that scarcity of flour
may arise the effective control OF the
price of flour is absolutely necessary
in order to prevent bread riots" says
the report.
Also under investigation are several
associations OF millers. the govern.
ment experts seeking to determine
whether prices are fixed by agreement
in this organization in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.

Minneapolis, Oct 15.-John Pills.
bury, head Of one Of the largest local
flour mill companies, said today that
Minneapolis -four mills would WITH
draw statesmen from the road and de-
cline to book further orders until
those on hand have been filled because
of the recent decision by the milling
division of the food administration to
curtail operation to 60 per cent OF ca
pacity. The new order, intended to
relieve the grain shortage at eastern
mills, will become effective tomorrow

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Oct ,15.-Fine weather to
promote the dying out of the corn crop
had a bearish effect today on corn
prices. Shorts. however, covered on
declines, and brought about something
of a rally. Announcements later that
curren prices of cornmeal would be
reduced by the food administrator
tended to discourage bulls. Opening
quotations, which ranged from NC to
&c lower, with December at $1.12a to
$1.12A and May at $1.0Sh to $1.0SA,
were followed by moderate transient
upturn.
Oats showed considerable strength
despite the relative weakness of corn.
Offerings of oats were light and readily
absorbed.
Demand from packers lifted pro-
visions. Lower quotations on hogs were
ignored.

Ironclad Monopoly Keeps
Price of Coal High in u. S.

There is neither free nor fair trade
IN fuel within the borders OF the
United States. An ironclad monopoly
prevents the private citizen from OBJ
tanning the product Of the coal mine
at prices or upon terms other than
those fixed by questionable eombina-
tons.
An incident which recently came to
light in a certain American city illus
trates this point. Certain families,
learning that coal for which they were
charged sll a ton could be purchased
at the mine, according to published re-
ports, at s450 a ton, formed a pool for
the purpose Of paying for a carload Of
the commodity. The money to defray
all costs was deposited to the credit OF
the mining company, but that corpora
ton, instead of filling the order, sent
back word that II sold only through
regular channels" which meant, virtu-
ally, that the company was acknowl-
edging its participation In q conspiracy
TO restrain trade.
Why, in such circumstances, should
the people hesitate TO compel the taxi
ing over of the coal mines by their gov

Industrial
Cotton

There was q very sharp ADVANCE Ill
the cotton market yesterday. The more
optimistic view Of peace prospects
based upon the Pope's proposals seemed
to reach the ring at time when teen
meal conditions rendered prices very
sensitive to buying orders. Covering
was also stimulated by more serious
complaints Of deterioration in the
Southwest, and December contracts sold
up to 1922. or rs points above Mondays
closing prices. That delivery closed at
$500, with the general list closing at
net advance Of 80 TO n points.
First prices were steady At an ad-
vance Of IT points to decline OF 2
points, with near months relatively
firm. Bearish sentiment was still much
IN evidence around the ring, and prices
sagged of during the early trading,
with active months selling back TO
about last nights closing figures. But
the offerings were not as heavy as they
lad been previously, and there was con-
siderable covering after the recent de-
cline of approximately cents pound.
Reports that a Southwestern authority
estimated the condition Of the crop at
70.4 as of August 10, compared with
1921 as Of July %, directed attention TO
the drouthy situation in the Southwest.
and some of Mondays sellers seemed TO
be disappointed over the failure of the
weather map to show rainfall in that
section. The market steadied in conse-
ouence, and the covering became more
active on the political news, with active
months selling 66 TO rs points net
higher in the late trading. Closing
prices were within point or two OF
