Flour Prices Rise but Bread Costs Stay Stable
The OPA set dollar and cent ceilings for flour sales by mills and blenders to align wheat and flour prices while allowing higher wheat prices without subsidies. Officials say increased flour costs will be offset by savings in bakehouse production and packaging, with the Agriculture Department implementing a separate program. The Agriculture order ends consignment bread sales, caps baker varieties weekly, bans sliced bread for home use, and requires all white bread to be enriched to approved nutritive standards.

Rise in Flour Price Aims to Aid Wheat Farmers
Bear Lake county wheat growers may liquidate commodity loans as flour price ceilings rise. G. E. Hulme, AAA committee member, says millers can pay higher prices than loan values to move wheat to cash markets, freeing storage for next season. The nationwide average returns should reach parity levels, with soft red winter near 95 percent.
