WHEAT, FLOUR, BREAD.

An Investigation as to the Relative Prices of Each.

SFEjOI-AXJ OFFH3RINQ Terra Haute Killers Belling Flour Cheaper and Bakeis Giving More Bread for the Money.

Complaint has been made that the extremely low price of wheat has not brought about a corresponding reduction in the price of flour. A gentleman with whom an Express reporter was conversing the other day said that flour was selliug at the same price as it was this time last year. He inquired the cause and said in his opinion it was owing to flour being cornered in Minneapolis and other grain depots. A viBit

waB

laade to McKeen Bros.'

Mill on east Main street yesterday. "At what price is flour being sold?" was asked.

The best patent flour is being sold at $5.25 per barrel. Best straight grade is being sold at $4.25." "How do these figures compare with those of the same time last year?"

Reference was made to last year's books and it was found that patent flour was selling at $6.50, an increase of $1.25 per barrel on the present figures. The best straight grades were then held at $5.50.

What price was being paid for wheat a year ago?" "The best Mediterranean wheat was worth $1.00 per buBhel, Poorer gr were worth'95 cents. Sixty to 70 cents is the ruling price for wheat now. This year's crop in these sections iB of an inferior quality. Oar wheat is worth from 65 to 70 cents per bushel. The crop here was small and being of poor quality, the moBtof the wheat be ing ground is car wheat." "Has a reduction taken place in sack flour?"

Yes, of course. A twenty-five pound sack of flour which sold at 85 cents last year can now be bought for 70 cents. The retail price of the grocerB is about 50 cents on the barrel higher than wholesale price. Flour that we sell for $5.25 can be bought out of any rocery house for $5.75 and $4.25 our for $4.75. The fact is that flour is cheaper to-day than it has been for years past. 1 do not recall a time when it could be bought as cheap as it can now."

In Chicago, no reduction has been made in the price of flour. The prices remain the same as last year, notwithstanding wheat is 25 cents per bushel cheaper. A barrel of flour cannot be bought acent less than it could a year ago. Complaints are becoming very strong against it. There is much inquiry into the cause. The theory that is mostly accepted is that a pool has been formed in Minneapolis and embracing many other cities and flour is being held back from the market.

The reporter visited several bakeries and was informed that the best straight grades of flour were used and the price paid was the same as quoted by McKeen Bros. One baker was asked if a five cent loaf of bread was larger now than when flour was worth $5.50 per barrel. He said that it was not, that the size remained unchanged. He said that there was no money in baking to amount to anything and there had not been for along time. An other baker was asked the same question and made a different reply. He said the loaves were larger and weighed more than those of a year ago. He computed the size and weight of bread by dollar lots. If flour was cheap loaves would be larger and a dol lar's worth of bread would weigh more than when flour was dear. He said that bread now was as cheap, if not cheaper than it had ever been before.

Thus it will be seen that all talk about wheat being cheap and flour high is idle. The staff of life can.be bought in Terre Haute as cheap as anywhere in the country, and there is no reason to complain. But before complaining an investigation of the case should be made and the facts ascertained.

MOSES' WEALTH.

The Battle For Property Still Going On The Soules case occupied the atten tion of the superior court yesterday. When court convened James Henry was called, and testified that Soules was all right before he entered the army, but since his marriage he seemed deficient in mind.

William Henry and W. P. Story corroborated JameB Henry's testimony. ThiB concluded the testimony of the plaintiffs, with the exception of the physicians, who will be examined whenever convenient.

Joseph H. McKenzie, for the de fense, testified that he had lived in Terre Haute for twenty-four years, and had known MoeeB Soules Bince 1864 He bunked and messed with Soules in the army for about six months bad conversation with him every day, and never noticed anything out of the way with him. He had not seen Soules since the war and never saw him drunk.

Dr. Spain was called and stated that the disease from which Soules suffered in the army, would cause him to shrink from society and his actions would be such as would indicate a person of unsound mind. If he performed his dHtieB as a soldier, passed medical examination when he enlisted and was honorably discharged, was married and conducted his business properly, the indications spoken of would not necessarily be considered indications of insanity.

I. N. Adams knew Soules in 1855, and enlisted him. He was in the same company saw him examined and saw no defect, either mental or physical. Never saw anything wrong with his mental con dition. Soules made a good soldier.

John Cahil was in the same company with Soulep, was in the same tent, talked with him every day, and thought him all right mentally.

George Lockridge had known Moses Soules thirty-nine years. He saw him frequently before his marriage, rented him a farm in 1863, knew him .when he was married, and up to that time never knew anything wrong with his mind.

John Smith had known Moses Soules fifty-one years, had lived in the Fame house with him, was with him out west, was in the army with him, and considered him right mentally. When Soules returned from the west the witness heard he was crazy. He went to see him, but could see no indications of insanity.

Birthday Party.

THE TEKRE HAUTE EXPRESS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1884.

Mr. Joseph V. D. Coleman, of Greencastle, and Miss Mary Reiss, of this city, will be married next Thursday.

Attempted Suicide.

Anna Selinger, living in the rear of No. 800 South Eighth street, attempted to commit suicide Wednesday night. She took "rough on rats" and morphine, but the dose was toolar^e. She attempted to get more morphine, but was prevented. Her mother was adjudged insane a short time ago. This so preyed upon her mind that she thought death would be preferable to life.

TIME WELL SPENT.

Visit Ford & Owens, and SeeTheir New Fall and Winter Suitings.

isp

Ford & Owens are determined to lead in prices as well as in styles. Their unequaled offer to make to order a fine Freneh plaid for $30, is a recognized and appreciated effort to reduce prices to suit the times. Their merchant tailoring business is constantly on the increase and no firm in the city can more honestly boast of success in making perfect fits.

It is well worth any one's time to spend an hour in looking through their immense stock of fall and winter suitings which includes some of the most beautiful patterns and shades ever shown in a merchant tailoring house this side of New York. In fact they have everything anyone could desire from a plain business suit to the flashiest and finest.
