NEW YORK, Dec. 19.

The establishment of maximum prices for mill feeds relative to the cost of wheat is expected to result in a marked reduction in their price and it is hoped this will operate to lower the price of milk and other dairy products as soon as the effects of the new rulings are felt in large dairy' centers, food administration officials declared today.

Restrictions imposed by the newrules, it is declared, will not teriously change the present quality of flour nor inconvenience the consuming public. Prescribing the wheat content of flour the statement saya-: No Hour for FYttl. 'No licenses shall after Dec. L'S use more than 2 ti 4 pounds of clean wheat in making I9 pounds of 100 percent flour."
