Foodstuffs, which might have been affected by an influx of Canadian products had Laurier and his government not been de feated in Canada yesterday, rose sharply in prices in all American supply centers today. Wheat led the advance and was followed late in the day by flour when millers ignored their previous price lists and adjusted their quotations to figures more com mensurate with the advanced cost of the grain staple. Oats too, felt the effect of the Canadian vote and a3 a result consumers may expect soon to pay increased prices for breakfast foods. The initial meal of the day, in fact, seems destined to bear the brunt of higher living costs within the next few months, as it needed only today's develop ments in the trading pits to add force to the recent advances in coffee and sugar. The consumer's toast and biscuit, wheat cakes and porridge, it is probable, will but add to the woes of the house keeper, - The greatest advance in wheat during the day was recorded at Duluth. There traders were paying as high as eight cents a bushel more for the grain than they did before reciprocity was rejected. Minneapolis, the greatest mil ling center of the country, show ed a maximum net advance of six cents. Increases of a less sensational character were recorded at Kan sas City, St. Loui3, Omaha and Chicago. Immense stocks of this city acted as a check to a severe advance here and brokers on the board of trade bought wheat for about three cents more a bushel than they had paid yesterday. The Chicago market was the lowest of the important grain centers. It is by no mean3 certain that today's advance in the prices of wheat and allied foodstuffs indi cate that the maximum has been reached. One of the most promi nent wheat traders of Chicago advanced the opinion that spring wheat, the grade used most ex tensively for fine flour, is due to increase in cost 20 cents a bulhel. There is a grain of comfort for the householder, however, in the meat situation. While packing house products rose in prices to day, they did so only out of sympathy with grains. Reciprocity, according to ex perts, had no direct effect upon meat products and its defeat is not likely to add to the cost of lard, bacon and ham. All members of Reedy Branch lodge No. 1, order of the Rainbow, are requested to meet at the hall Friday night, Septem ber 29. Very urgent business to attend to. -Chief of Police H. H.
