REDUCTION REACHING FROM
MILLER TO BAKER PLANNED.
Director Barnes Says Representatives
of Grain Industry Agreed to Pro-
posa at New York Meet.

New York. May 1G.-An immediate
reduction in the price Of wheat, reach
ing all down the line from the pro-
Queer to the baker, is believed as
Sured, according to a statement is
sued by julius Barnes, wheat director,
following a prolonged conference be-
tween Mr. Barnes and representatives.
Of the grain industry, including grain
handlers, millers, jobbers and bakers
The statement issued by Mr.. Barnes
says;
There was a general agreement
that in order that all the wheat pro-
ducers of the country should secure
equal benefits, the various trades
could be bound by contracts to see
that wheat trading should be only on
the guaranteed price and if a lower
basis was justified with the develop
ment Of world factors as the season
advanced, this lower basis should be
made to reach the consumer by trade
agreements with millers and manu-
featuring facilities, the wheat director
making the readjusting basis effective
by the payment of the difference as
allowed under act of congress.
In return for protection against a
fall in price, after the guaranteed
price had been made for wheat
bought, the wheat director would re-
quire from the various trades con
tract obligations by which their trade
practices and margins of profit would
be subject to review and control by
the wheat director.
The bakers were willing to enter
into contract by which they would
reflect at once in their products the
lower price Of flour made effective by
the mills. In this way, down to
the retail trade there is thought to be
an assurance that reduced price of
wheat should be effective immediate
~ all down the line"
