Standard Bread

Measurements over the top in two directions,
 l am also sending you a photo graph of the two breads made from the Hours whose analysis are given above From the analysis and from the photograph you can see that this flour makes very good loaf of bread; in fact it is one of the best whole wheat or graham flour breads we have had occasion to make. We are interested in knowing just what kind of a mill was used in making this flour. According to our ex- perience in milling the kind of mill that is used in making graham flour has much to do with the quality of bread that can be made from such flour, and therefore we would ap- preciate your telling us as soon as you can find out just what kind of mill was used and who are the manufacturers.
 Respectfully,

All Restrictions
On Trading in Tin
Supply Sufficient for Coun-
try's Needs Until October;
10, O,169 Tons of Inter-
Allied Metal Distributed

All restrictions on trading in tin
were removed yesterday by the War
Industries Board. George Armsby,
chief in charge of tin, announced that
the 1O,169 tons of 1nter-Allied tin had
been sold, and that the supply in the
United States is sufficient. at the nor
NAL rate Of consumption, to provide for
all requirements until the end of
October.
The War Trade Board also an
nounces the removal of import restric-
tions on pig tin from the country of
origin. Supervision over tin will con-
tinue to be exercised by the War Indus
tries Board and the War Trade Board
until all import restrictions are re-
moved. In the meantime all importa-
tions of tin ore and concentrates will
continue to be consigned to the Ameri-
ean Iron and Steel Institute.
John Hughes, chairman of the sub
committee on pig iron, in state
1ent issued yesterday said that the
astitute will function under the con-
rel of the war boards until such time
all restrictions are removed. Con-
umers needing further supplies of tin
lay send their inquiries to the insti-
ute and an effort will be made to
atisfy their requirements, but licenses
Ill no longer be necessary for the
.urchase of tin.
The Inter-Allied commission was
established to regulate the distribution
tin for all the Allies. By scientific
istribution and careful ALLEGATION of
lie worlds supply each of the Allies
.ot its proportionate share. Last Mo-
'ember the commission sent 10, 1859 tons
tin to this country. After the armis-
ce was signed there was some reluct-
nee on the part of the tin trade to buy
lie product at the price set by the
istitute. 1t was then decided that no
.strictions would be removed until all
the lnter-Allied tin was allocated.
ne basis for this ALLEGATION was the
revious consumption of the various
oncerns. Now, with this tin finally
old, the restrictions regarding the re-
ale of tin between consumers, dealers,
obbers and smelters have been re-
loved

New Opportunities for
Trading With Russia
American Business Interests
Urged to Develop Con-
structiye Relations

Opportunities for trade with South
Russia and the Caucasus are steadily
improving, according to a bulletin is
sued yesterday by the American Rus
sian Chamber of Commerce.
"Slowly but steadily the restoration
and reconstruction Of Russia con-
tinues," the statement reads. "Under
the guidance of General Denekin and
through the efforts of his volunteer
army, another great and important
section of Russia is being freed from
Boshevist control and is entering into
a period of restoration and recon-
structive activity.
"It is important that American
business interests should be consider
ing the possibility of developing con-
structive trade relationships in South
Russia. At the present time there are
direct steamship connections between
the port of Novorossisk and New York,
and there is also the possibility of
q direct shipping movement between
Batoum and ports in the United States.
in other words, in South Russia and
in the Caucasus there is a real op-
portunity for doing preparatory work
in laying the foundation for per.
manent trade relationships"

Silks
J0bbers Get Large Orders
From, anxious Buyers
at Higher Prices

Securing the market for silks was
the task yesterday of most buyers. AS
a result, the leading jobbers received
large volume of business at prices
5 to 10 per cent higher than those pre-
vailing last week. But the mill agents
did little except to ship goods as soon
as they appeared at their salesrooms.
Cutters of women's garments were
large buyers and expressed the desire
to place heavier orders than the sellers
would accept. A number of Western
retail dealers were in the market seek
ing goods from the jobbers. They con-
fessed that they were short of de-
sirabe merchandise.
1t was stated that many of the West
ern merchants had delayed their visits
to the Eastern sellers in the hope that
prices for dress fabrics would react
downward. Instead, the movement has
been upward, and it was intimated in
the trade that still higher levels were
probable. Recognition of the stiffness
Of prices will eventuate in the so-called
eleventh hour buyers scrambling for
goods, according to some of the jobbers
who stated that they suspected num-
Der of retail dealers to be buying
quantities of the leading sheer fabrics

colors of special fastness for skein
dyeing that it does not at present pay
us to make in this country, only small
quantities of these colors being used
here; My idea is that such colors
should be imported under licenses to
be issued by the government, which
would be able to measure the needs of
the cotton textile industry and then
regulate the volume of imports.
"As l see the situation, the man who
manufactures and dyes cotton and
woollen goods should be permitted to
obtain these vat colors at the lowest
possible cost until American chemists
can produce them on competitive
price basis. 1t will take time for our
chemists to develop efficient methods
for producing these fancy fast shades
"If the American textile industry is
compelled to use high-priced domestic
vat colors, the finished dyed fabrics
are likely to be imported in volume. In
that event the cotton and woollen in
dustries would be subjected to extra
neous competition, thereby. defeating
the avowed object of tariff protec-
tion"

Packers Selling Hides for
Prompt Delirery Only
To the Business Editor of The New
York Tribune.

10 the Business Editor of The New
York Tribune.
Sir: In your files of June 1s l notice
that you quote some remarks which
were made at meeting of the Retail
Shoe Dealers Association of New York
on June II to the effect that hides
were now being sold off the backs of
grazing herds Of cattle, thus indicating
that tanners are buying raw material
before cattle are really brought to mar
ket and slaughtered.
1T is indeed to be regretted that even
though your publication does not as
sumo authority for this statement,
such an impression should be created
through the medium of your circula-
tion. as the alleged facts only have a
tendency to distort and magnify an al
ready acute condition existing in the
tanning industry of this country. The
public should be kept informed re-
garding prevailing conditions, but you
is far better to give no information
than to publish statements of hysteric
origin without proper confirmation.
1t is true that the prices of hides
and leather, as we'll as shoes, have ad-
vanced, chiefly because of the demand
from abroad in addition to our domes-
tic requirements, especially at a time
when supplies were actually short be-
cause of the wartime conditions.
Nevertheless, it is absolutely necessary
to those vitality interested that no
wrong impressions be created.
The largest percentage of the cattle
are shipped by the Cattlemen's Asso-
citation to the large slaughtering cen
tres, where they are purchased by the
so-called "Big Five" packers, there
upon killed and the hides taken off
and the meat dressed.
The packers during this acute period
have refrained from selling hides for
future delivery at prevailing high
prices, being content to let the law of
supply and demand govern, and are
selling their hides only for prompt and
early delivery at the market prices.
This is a step in the right direction
to discourage speculation at excessive
ly high levels, and it seems to me that
the public should be made fully aware
of what the advances in hides and
leather mean to them, provided the sit
uation is correctly stated.
The Tanners Courril is in thorough
sympathy with the Retail Shoe Dealers
Association with respect to educating
the public to pay higher prices for
shoes, but this effort should not be
carried SO far that the public becomes
panicstricken and assumes the atti-
tude which is found only too often at
the present time and which Mr.. Hoover
discouraged SO vigorously, and that is
the tendency to buy more than normal
requirements so as not to be compelled
to pay possible higher prices at a
future time.
When shoe buying is carried to that
oVtpnt it will ONlV make an acuta sit
uaton very much worse and every
effort should be made to discourage
such buying, not only as conservative
measure, but also to indirectly assist
in maintaining prices at reasonable
levels. LOUIS J. ROBERTSON,
Vice President.

Raw Silks i'm Demand
Importers Report Large In
quiry for Materials

Importers Of raw silk reported yes
terday that American manufacturers
Of the finished fabrics had placed good
orders for delivery during the next few
months, and few bought small guam
titles of the new crop Japanese silk
for shipment as late as next December.
Prices again ascended, the latest cables
received from Yokohama indicating an
advance of 47h cents a pound for
Shinshiu No. l and an increase of 25
cents in Kansai double extra, the first
grade being quoted at the equivalent
of $9.471z and the second at $10.50
Predictions were heard that the best
grade of Kansai would go to $12 a
pound before the present movement
ceases. 1t was reported that stocks of
old crop silk in the Yokohama market
have declined to 5000 bales, this being
decrease of 1000 since the middle
of last week. The small stocks still
remaining were said to be of poor
quality, and, in the main, not suitable
for the generality of American manu-
facturers of high-class fabrics.

Rubber
Peace Prospects Stimulate
Rubber Speculation
in London

Locally trade in crude rubber, both
plantation and Para, was quiet yester-
day, but prices held steady. Some of
the importers expressed the view that
quotations would be favorably affected
by the signing of the peace treaty
Cables from London told of increased
prices at that centre, with speculative
buying prompted by the prospects Of
peace. This event, it was held, will
mean that the Central European coun-
tries, long heavy users Of the crude
material, will eventually be purchasers.
Local holders of the crude product
seemed reluctant to offer supplies at
prevailing prices, which, it was init
mated, were not sufficiently attractive
to warrant them showing anxiety for
orders. 1t was admitted that manu-
facturers of the various lines of rub
Der goods, particularly tires, we're we'll
provided with stocks, probably enough
to meet their normal requirements dur
ing the next three months.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-24

No change of rates or even in ten
denotes has taken place in the last
few days in the commercial paper
market. The general rate is 51a per
cent. Out of town little paper sells
at ~ but it's volume is not significant.
Time was when a business firm could
guess pretty accurately at the begin
ming of the year just how much it was
going to borrow that year. 1t could
go to it's commercial paper broker and
make arrangements accordingly. If it
did business of $40 100000 during the
year, it would keep perhaps $2,000,000
or S3,000,000 Of goods on hand. Now
the same business will often keep only
s5o0,ooo Of goods on hand, though it
does the same gross business, and it's
borrowing, like its trade, will be on a
similar basis. But this is state of
affairs now passing.
One commercial paper broker be-
lieves that number of houses which
could save interest by borrowing on
bank acceptances instead of on straight
commercial paper, do not do so because
the trouble means more to them than
the saving in interest. A bank accept
ance arises out of particular trans
