DROP IN FLOUR PRICES HERE.
Some Brands in Topeka Havc De-
seconded From ef4 to S1S.

Some brands of flour have dropped
a dollar a barrel on the local market.
The price is now $13 and indicates the
first break in the cycle of high prices
affecting the necessities of life. Other
brands remain at $14.
Collapse in foreign exchange and
the slump in the wheat market are
held by local millers to be responsible
for, the drop.
A further decrease in flour prices Is
not expected unless wheat goes below
the government price. 1t has been
soaring above the fixed figure. going
as high as rs cents above the federal
price. Flour has been as high as
1850 during the last year.
Wholesale flour is selling at from
s3.20 to $3.45 for 4S-pound sacks. Re-
tail prices at most stores here were
as follows: ~&3.45 for 4S-pound sacks:
s1.75 for 24-pound sacks, and 30 cents
for 12-pound sacks.

There Is absolutely no question

Both railroads and waterways are
far behind the productivity Of our
country. Agriculture and general in
dustry are embarrassed by lack of
tween producer and consumer are wild
ened extravagantly by failure to OBJ
tain proper distribution. i
In the years to come the country
will find that proper outlet for the
I'LL of its commodities will lie by
water. rather than rail. We need a
national study and a national program
of transportation development, and
such a program will embrace not. only
improvement of interior waterways,
put development of the st. Lawrence.
That h ports of the Great Lakes
can be put effectively on seaboard with
a comparatively moderate expenditure
is unquestioned and such a step will
improve enormously the prosperity OF
