FLOUR TRADE is QUIET
Advance of 20 Cents Per Barrel An
nounced by MiIlers.

Flour trade in Topeka the past week
was very quiet, but displayed some en-
coura ging signs, particularly with ref
erence to the foreign trade.
In the domestic market there vas
little trading-due partly to an Gd-
vance of about 20 cents per barrel as
a result of the rise in cash wheat.
Foreign markets sent inquiries for
round lots of flour which were at
tractive, tho for the most part the
buyers in Europe have price ideas
which are too low to be met by South
western millers at the present price of
cash wheat Some of these foreign
offers, however, are open for from two
to seven days, with the possibility of
extensions during the time wheat re-
mains up. The offers are for the larg-
est quantities yet asked by Europe on
this crop.
1t is the impression of the Topeka
millers that the Canadian market,
hitherto lower than the American, is

Foreign Markets Gone
"What the farmer, and what we all
need. is a market for our surplus prod
ucts. We can find a buyer only five can
someone else to be a seller.
Before the war, Europe was our cred
itor; our annual interest payments to
her were large. Her treasures were
full of gold and she was able to pay for
what she might buy from us.
THAT situation has completely
changed. We paid off our European
indebtedness during the war; we W
her nothing. They owe us about SILL
00,000,000. We, as a nation have
changed from a nation of importers
to a nation of exporters.
with the settling OF this western
country and the influx to our shores
of vast multitudes of foreigners who
aided in the development of this coun-
try, our infant industries were nor
able to manufacture all that we IN
sumed. And a protective tariff did
protect the manufacturers of this
country and kept out foreign compe-
tition.
Protecting Powerful Manufacturers
To-day these infant industries have
grown so powerful that instead Of
our needing to protect these indus
tries the people need protection from
them. We have become a nation of
exporters and it should take no great
amount of argument to convince you
that unless we can sell u surplus
products abroad, we must inevitably
reduce production which must mean
increased unemployment.
I'VE produce in this country a large
surplus of boots and shoes and other
manufactured articles and also a sur
plus of wheat and many other farm
products. If we cease to buy from
Germany. Austria. Russia, England
and other impoverished countries, tell
me how they can buy our surplus.
Then what is to become of it? 1t
will be a drug upon our hands. We
will have to reduce production or else
the American people will have to pay
such exorbitant prices for things that
the manufacturers can afford to dump
the surplus upon the foreign market
below cost price. In either event it
hurts America, it hurts Europe and
it hurts civilization"
