Northwestern millers poised to push European flour trade
The Chicago Daily Trade Bulletin says if the reciprocity treaty with Canada passes in the extra session, Northwestern millers will mount a strong campaign for control of the European flour trade. With Canadian wheat nearby they can compete with Canadian mills, aided by blended wheats and low-priced grain. High American flour prices have slowed Europeward sales, but free Canadian wheat could sharpen competition despite no immediate war.
