Governor Dorsey has decided to
withhold action on the bid and prob

by an Atlanta bank and local firm
of bond and stock brokers, and offer
ed discount rate of sos per cent.
Some of the bankers and brokers
present at the opening of the single
bid expressed the opinion that this
rate of discount was attractive in view

it was not low enough for the gov
ernor, who believes the warrants of
the state of Georgia should be dis
counted for less.

ranted price increases in wheat flour
substitutes will not be permitted
The food administration today gave
warning to dealers, they must not
take advantage of temporary short
ages in other cereals brought on by
the heavy demand the new baking
regulations have caused.
Many complaints reached Food
Administrator Hoover today that
dealers in substitutes have begun to
lift their prices.
Mills of the country" said Mr.
Hoover, ARE prepared to meet the
greater demand of housewives and
bakers for other cereals, during the
next few months.
AT least one of the substitutes is
produced in quantity in almost every
part of the country. If any shortages
occur they will be local. The supply
OF substitutes is ample to meet our
needs.
The normal tendency of local
scarcities would advance prices out of
line with the cost of production and
distribution. Under the food control
act this will not happen. All licen-
sees dealing in food commodities.
