According to the permanent plan
of the Grain Corporation, the aver
age "fair price" for wheat in North
Carolina is approximately $2.45 per
bushel on basis of No. / Red win
ter wheat. The price for No. 2
wheat would be $241 and the price
for No. 8, into which cost of the
wheat in North Carolina this year
will fall, would be approximately
$2.3S with proper grades ranging
lower. ....
These prices of wheat are not fix
ed. The mills are allowed a definite
spread" on their milling opera
tions, and they will naturally pay
such a price for wheat as is warrant
ed by the prices they receive fol

The advantage to the Japan busl-
ness interests lies in the fact that
every local banknote held by them
has it's face value guaranteed by
the 100000 yen deposited for that
purpose, whereas other nationals
have no such guarantee.
Specie redemption ceased on May
13. For several years Japan has
insisted upon redemption of specie
by Chinese banks in Manchuria at
the rate of $4,000 a month. In
consequence the Chinese banks
were in financial straits and had to
look to Japan for relief. The imtae.
diate result of the suspension was a
depression of the local notes and an
intlamation of the Peiyang dollar tc

which is the highest point evcl
reached.

SPECIE REDEMPTION IN CHINA

Peking.-An agreement recently
concluded by China and Japan for

10000 TO THE RED CROSS
Mclaughlin & Co. Of Raeford, N. c.
Fined by Food Administration

Raleigh, Aug. 5.-A voluntary
contribution of $1,000 to the Red
Cross Society and the O~~''----- OF
North Carolina by the Mclaughlin
Company of Raeford, N. c., was an
nounced by the Food Administra-
tion today, this contribution on be-
ing made by the Mclaughlin Com
pany in lieu of the issuance of a
blacklist order by the Food Admin
istration, which would have put the
Mclaughlin Company out of busi-
ness.
The Mclaughlin Company was
guilty of profiteering, having charg-
ed excessive margins on car load
of meat, it being estimated by State
Food Administrator Henry A. Page
that the excess profit was equivalent
to $1,000. In addition to profiteer-
ing, the Mclaughlin Company had
acted as wholesaler without IL
cense, had purchased larger quanti-
ties of foodstuffs than they were al
lowed to carry in stock at one time,
and in other ways had disregarded
the rules and regulations of the
Food Administration. Any further
violations by this concern would
probably result in blacklist order
Food Administrator Henry A
Page is of the opinion that there
has not been a great deal of profit
eering in North Carolina. Inspect
ors of the Food Administration have
been instructed to make exhaustive
Investigations wherever profiteerine
is indicated, however, and any deal
ers who are found guilty of profit
eering and gross violations will be
made to account for their offenses
