Strike conditions have had the
effect OF boosting the price of milo
maize on the Los Angeles market,
according to A. c. Rath of Rath &
Marshall. The price has been going
up rather steadily during the last
week, owing to the fact that grain
dealers are now selling from THEN
warehouse stocks. The temporary
rise in price, however, is no indica-
ton of a stronger market.

of the loss, shippers say, is the
failure of the government to provide
