Minneapolis—The Minneapolie ffour mills will again be grinding Canadian wheat before another crop has been raised in the United States. This is the opinion of millers who have given close study to the new tariff bill ang the drawback provisions therein. The great obstacle in the way of handling the imported raw material has been the disposal of the by-product. The bonding law on the statute books prior to the passage of the new tariff act hold that the entire product of the im- ported wheat should be exported, and the plan was therefore practically un- workable. The mills of Minneapolis did grind considerable wheat in bond and under drawback regulations, but that was in a time of an extraordinary general disarrangement of world’s prices. Drawback Provision. The drawback provision now apply- ing to millers and which will be partic- ularly important to the mills of Min- neapolis, Duluth, Buffalo, New York, and other centers close to the Canadian border, will permit the miller to enter the world‘s markets, buy wheat, grind it in bond and export the flour. The by-product may then be taken from the bonded mill and sold for domestic consumption upon the payment by the miller of the duty that would be as- sessed by the government if the by- products had been imported. The mil- lers were contending for this while the tariff bill was before congress. Miller Sizes Situation. As to the ability of the millers to Import wheat under this more liberal provision, the Northwestern Miller, which has been investigating the mat- ter, says: “Calculations have shown that un- der a 20 per cent ad valorem duty ap- plying to by-products from foreign wheat, when the latter are withdrawn for domestic consumption, foreign wheat at 4% cents a bushel under the American market, can be ground by the American miller without loss. At any price representing a greater dif- ference than 4% cents there would be a proportionate profit to the Ameri- can miller.” MINN. DOCTORS AT WINONA.
