Flour Prices Trail Wheat Rising After Low Point
Flour prices in Minneapolis inch up with the rise in wheat after prices sank to their lowest since 1913. Barrels of 98 pound sacks for family patent and standard trading flour moved from 5.65 to 5.75 dollars to a close range of 6.20 to 6.35 dollars as wheat began climbing. Dealers say flour tracks wheat, though much wheat remains stored from prior prices and new milling is hindered by green grain unless blended with matured stock.
