WAR REDUCES
U. S. EXPORTS
In Spite of Heavy Buying of Foods
and War Supplies Total Has
Taken Big Slump
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The total
exports for eleven months of 1914
were $1,800,000,000, which is $800,
•000,000 less than the eleven months
of the year previous. The loss has
been made in spite of the heavy pur
chases by the allied nations of war
supplies and foodstuffs. The loss has
been borne largely by the manufac
turing concerns, especially the farm
implement, typewriter, wagons, car
riages cotton, oil, paraffin and to
bacco manufacturers.
The last month has shown an im
provement because of the heavy or
ders by foreign nations for manufac
tured war supplies such as shoes for
the troops, blankets, uniforms, tents,
wagons, automobiles, portable houses
and field kitchens, besides guns of
every description.
FLOUR GOES UP
BREADJE DEARER
May Wheat Selling At $1.37, Highest
Since 1898—Flour Up 55 Cents
Per Barrel.
CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—May wheat 1r
selling for $1.37 a bushel, the high
est price for May wheat since 1898,
when the Spanish-American war sent
the price skyward. The demand for
wheat for immediate shipment has
about stopped as the British and
French governments have all the
wheat that they can handle for the
present.
As a result of the present price and
raise in wheat the flour manufactur
ers have raised flour 55 cents a bar
rel. The bread manufacturers will
also cut the size of the loaf to make
up the difference in price and the
consumer will have to stand the full
cost of the higher price.
