FLOUR PRICES
NOT TO GO UP
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 12—President
Washburn, of the Washburn-Crosby
Flouring Co., announced today that
flour would remain at its present
.price, because the demand from Eu
rope would not be felt for several
months, besides which the exports
would not total more than the regu
lar exports of ordinary years.
Washburn pred'cted that the farm
ers could not hold back the wheat
as most of them were unprepared to
store it, and further the banks would
demand the money advanced to the
farmers to move the crops, which,
along with the fact that the millers
thad purchased millions of bushels of
wheat for delivery in September, Oc
tober and November, assured them
of sufficient wheat for several
months at least.
