Canadian Flour Much Cheaper at Boston Than American INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE BOSTONS MASS., Oct. Boston wholesale flour dealers and agents of "Western flour mills declare that the difference in exchange between Canada and the United States enables the Canadian millers to put flour Into Boston a dollar cheaper than the Western mills can. and still make a larger percentage of profit than American mills selling at the higher price. Boston Js now being flooded with Canadian flour at prices ranging from 75 cents to $1.00 a barrel cheaper than American flour. This is on the grades used by housewives who bake ,their own loaves. The flour used by bakers is sold by the Canadian millers on a closer margin, but even the smallest margin means a great deal to con-

Facts Hornekeepers Must Know About the Future of Furniture

Before the war the furniture industry was at its lowest ebb. Furniture was made either for the extremely rich or for the poorest class. The manufacturer made it without a standard; the workers worked and lived without a standard, being the poorest paid artisans in the country. During the early days 6f the war, the government, trying to classify the different trades into essentials and non-essentials, saw the advisability and necessity of comfortable homes, instructed the manufacturers to standardize the industry and thus the furniture workman was elevated from the pauper class and placed on a level with all other artisans for a living wage and standard of living becoming the American workman of today. While all other lines (barring none) jumped by leaps and bounds during the last five years, furniture advances were comparatively the lowest; farming products jumped up from 300 to 500 per cent, and textile merchandise about the same percentage, while good furniture adyanced only 75 to 100 per cent. The greatest contributing factor to the ad vance in furniture prices was lumber, due mostly to increases in building material and labor cost. Another factor influencing the cost of furniture that must not be overlooked, is the increase in freight rates, which affected first the manufacturer and next the retailer. Commodities that went up most will come down most during this readjustment period. Every trade analyst admits this. Furniture went up very little in comparison to other commodities, and will, therefore, come down very little. And it may be said with reasonable assurance that tKe readjustment will have little effect on furniture for at least two or three years.

The Seifer Furniture Company made a most thorough investigation of conditions prevailing in the furniture industry and now can safely state that no radical change will take place, except in articles where cotton and leather counts as a big cost of production, and even in this case it cannot be to any appreciable extent. Without anticipating any important drop in furniture prices, either now or in the immediate future, the Seifer Furniture Company will initiate a reduction on its entire stock of furniture, ranging from 10 to 25 per cent. Should the market react and stiffen up when we try to replace this merchandise, we shall be obliged to re-establish former prices. Then, considering the situation from every point of view, the low advances furniture made previously, the small possibilities of the prices to settle downward, and the fact that we have taken the responsibility and CUT THE PRICES, IT IS ADVISABLE TO. PROCEED WITH THE FURNISHING OF YOUR HOME IMMEDIATELY. Furniture, in proportion to the length of service it gives, and measured over the years of comfort it renders, is the cheapest commodity on the market today. This is particularly true if you buy good furniture, which is almost as scarce today as it was a year ago. The 10 to 25 per cent reduction is effective immediately and price quotations in all the Seifer Furniture Company's ads. will be based on the above reductions.
