Wheat today is from seven to eight
cents bushel below the high mark of
fifteen cents reached in the sudden
market increase Tuesday. Local
prices have not yet been affected by
the increase on the Tuesday market,
according to local millers and flour
retailers.
The only result noted locally was
that carload lots shipped from To-
peka mills were quoted at an increase
of so cents a barrel. The decrease OF
seven or eight cents today in whea;
probably will reduce the fifty cent
