SEATTLE.

Seattle, April 27.-There is gen
erai quiet prevailing in the -four
milling industry of the northwest.
The Oriental demand has been shat
of to a large extent by the advance
in wheat prices. This advance has
made it possible for Australian
-four to compete in the Orient with
the American product. The prices
of Australian -four runs from so
to rs cents a barrel or IS to 50 a
ton cheaper than American brands.
Even the reduction in trans-Pacific
freight rates on flour from 81 TO 81
a ton have not sufficed to relieve
the situation. Domestic demand is
improving but about rs per cent of
the Pacific coast -four mills have
suspended or curtailed operations.
lmportations of plateglass and
window glass from Belgium are be-
ported by dealers to be the heav-
lest ever known. Sales by dealers
have been better in April than In

cific northwest ports by way of the
Panama canal.
The wholesale grocery trade is
improving steadily with collections

also is improving but more slowly.

considerably ahead of those of last
year.

this section of the country. Cold
and rainy days have outnumbered
the balmy days which stimulate re-
tail trade and the effect has been
felt keenly by dealers, in wearing
apparel. Merchants are afraid that
there will be a plunge from late
winter into an early summer which
will eliminate a certain portion Of
the regular spring trade. Whole
salers also are suffering to some
extent as retailers have been buy
ing cautiously and only for imme-
Ciate needs.
Wholesale grocers in this section
declared today they had not accept
ed the process OF defation and are
on normal basis with the excep-
ton of operating costs which they
assert still are too high. Before
the war the cost of doing business
ran about ~ per cent of gross
sales. Last year it ran from II to
13 per cent and this year it will
reach 10 per cent.
The reports of the Kansas state
