Pastry Prices Drive Wheat Demand Down At KC Trade Floor
At the Kansas City Board of Trade, flour millers note sugar price rises last year pushed bakeries to raise pastry prices, curbing housewives purchases. This reduced demand for soft red winter wheat used in pastries, while grocery-store flour sales rose as households baked more at home. The article links consumer behavior to shifts in wheat, peanut, and soybean oil markets under price supports and a slowing economy.

Gulf Oil Denial Over $4 Million Payoff Report
Officials in Ecuador and Venezuela deny Gulf Oil was required to pay $4 million to operate, reacting to a Wall Street Journal report that Gulf executives told the SEC of such contributions to a political party. Gulf Chairman Bob Dorsey cited risk to investments if the country was named, with Latin America cited as a possible target. Venezuelan and Ecuadorian officials stated the allegations are unfounded and unrelated to their countries.
