FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
FIXES PRICE Of FLOUR
IN NEW YORK MARKET

New York, Sept. 20. - The
flour distributing committee OF
the New York produce exchange
appointed by the United States
food administration announced
today that the following prices
will apply to flour to be sold by
the food administration through
this committee:
For all export patents, Sl3.25
per sack of 22O pounds, which IS
equivalent to about Sll.8O per
barrel; all first clears, from
S1l.eO to Sl2.25 per sack of 22O
pounds, according to quality,
which is equivalent to SlO.60 to
$1,000 per barrel.
R. A. Claybrook, president OF
the produce exchange and the
chairman of the committee, ex-
pressed the belief that this &C
ton would keep down the price
of flour, which, he predicted,
would have gone much higher
before January | had there
been no food control legislation
enacted.
