action was expected to keep market
prices from going above parity as
long as Government stocks were
available at that price.
The selling order followed re-
ports that the Government was
considering placing a ceiling on
wheat, similar to that established
on corn recently, to prevent the de-
velopment of a new price squeeze
on millers. Prices millers receive
for flour are controlled by ceilings.
Those were raised recently after
advancing wheat prices cut the
millers' margins to a point where
many claimed they were being
forced to operate at a loss.
/. The Government wheat was ac-
quired through liquidation of loans
to growers
In determining the sales price the
Government will add % cents a
bushel to the 1912 grower wheat
loan rate at the point of storage.
The loan rate was IS per cent of
parity,
Feed Sold at IS Per Cent of Parity.
The Government has been selling
lower grades of wheat to farmers
for livestock feed at prices equiva-
lent to IS per cent of the parity
price of corn to encourage greater
production of meat, dairy and poul-
try products for the war food pro-
