u. 5. Moves 10 Keep
Flour, Bread Prices
AT Present Levels
Wheat Stocks Placed on
Market Expected TO
Have Effect of Ceiling
By he Associated Press

BY The Associated Press.
The Government moved yesterday
to prevent further increases in
flour. bread and other cereal prices
by placing its stocks of wheat on
the market at prices designed to
check advancing markets.
The Commodity Credit Corp. in
formed buyers that II would sell
its milling wheat at parity prices.
While most types of wheat have
been available on the markets at
less than parity, some special varie-
ties have not been obtainable, Off
cials said, even above parity.
The price of wheat has been ad-
vancing steadily for several weeks.
causing food authorities concern
lest the price go above levels which
would cause millers to be unable
to operate under their present
price ceilings on flour. Several
weeks ago flour ceilings were raised
because of advancing wheat prices
and a price squeeze on millerS.
Prices Dip at Chicago.
officials said they expected the
wheat offer to have the effect of
price ceiling on wheat, at least
so long as Government supplies
hold out Millers, they explained,
would be unlikely to pay more than
the Government price. Wheat
prices at Chicago dipped slightly
after the offer was made.
To determine sales prices the
Government will add % cents a
bushel to the 1912 loan rate for
grower wheat. at the point OF
storage 1892 loans were made at
95 per cent Of parity. For instance,
If the loan rate on particular lot
Of wheat happened to be s1.10 a
bushel, the Government will add %
cents to this, making the sales price
S133.
The Government has been anxious
to keep flour and bread prices at
present levels.
Estimate of L. s. Holdings.
Government holdings of wheat,
acquired through liquidation of loans
to farmers amount to approximately
235 100000 bushels stored under out
standing grower loans.
There are, in addition to this
wheat, about 100000 900 bushels held
by farmers. elevators and others.
officials said they expect yesterdays
action to start some of this grain to
market, since undoubtedly some of
this wheat was being held for specu-
lative purposes.
The wheat offer was made as the
House farm bloc pressed for legisla-
ton which would increase farm
parity prices by including farm labor
costs in calculating parity Govern
ment economists have estimated that
this would increase parity prices
from 10 to Is per cent.
Should this legislation be enacted.
the Government sales price of wheat
would. be increased by the amount of
the resulting increase in wheat
parity. =" .ft

Also there is the ghost of a drum

The place has a wealth of au-

location to one conversant with the
seats Of the British nobility. Its
bathrooms hung with rich wine col

doorWays, which were the work OF
fine artists, the numerous portraits
of gentlemen in red coats-all be-

are gone and the scenes which took
place under that roof.
The ghosts add just the proper
