V , : . FLOUR GOE South Bend Mills Advance Their Price to Keep Pace .With the Market. South F.end flour mills have ad vanced their prices CO cents a barrel' to keep pace, they say. with the ! rapid advance of wheat they are forced to pay in the open market, i The cause of big export trade in J wheat is said to be the cause of the j advance in the price of wheat. At ; the present time flour is retailing at I $14 per barrel and the wholesale price is $12. SO per barrel. Fakers', however, have been looking forward to the advance prices and many have laid in a large supply of flour. This supply, It is believed, will tarry the firms until the exports are checked. If the bakers are not forced to buy at the advanced prices there is no immediate danger that the price of bread will be increased. FARM KHS WILL MEET . Many farmers in St. Joseph coun- j ty are planning to attend the con-! ference of farmers and agricultural agents to be held in Fort Wayne May H. The meeting will be for the purpose of forming permanent organizations among the farmers of the state, similar to the chambers of commerce in the citie. OF It COAL MAKES WARM FRIENDS.
