CANADIAN FLOUR.
AN INCREASE IN PRICE. (Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, February 25. Dunedin bakers received an unwelcome surprise to-day when the announcement was made by the AVheat Committee that the price of Canadian flour would be raised from £l6 199 fid to £lB 10s, the increase to take effect immediately. This flour has been available to bakers at the former price since the Wheat Committee began importing Canadian wheat six months ago, the object at that time being to give additional work in the milling industry and also to secure the by-products, bran and pollard, which were lost when it was the custom to import flour from Canada.
The increase, according to a Dunedin baker, will represent a substantial sum a month in the cost of bread production.
