AN AMERICAN INQUIRY
FOR NEW ZEALAND FMHJB. A jcar ago New Zealand was importing considerable quantities of American flour, a fact which had a steadying influence on the price of locally-produced flour. Now, owing to the sharp advances in rates in America during October, San Francisco dealers aro making inquiries in New Zealand, with a view of importing our flour. A letter dated October 16 from a San Francisco dealer to a Wellington merchant reads as follows: — "Our markets have advanced to such a point where it is possible through the high prices of wheat that importations may possibly be made of foreign flour. If yon will kindly send ns samples of your high-grade • baker's flour, stating how packed and lowest possible o.i.f. price, there may be a chance of passing some business your wav. We. prefer the flour nacked in 981b. bags, net weight, as this is the customary trade package in this country. Please •investigate and forward largo-size samples for testing, stating manufacturer's brand."
