4. The seller will transmit the certified claim to the 

 Secretary, Flour Mills Control Committee, 100, Cromwell 

 Eoad, London, S.W.7, for approval. 



5. The claim will be retained by the Department, who will 

 forward direct to the claimant a Eeceivable Order Cheque, the 

 cashing of which in itself provides the necessary receipt. 



With regard to purchases of home-grown wheat on and after 

 the 7th March, 19'21, millers will be instructed to pay 95s. 

 per 504 lb. if purchased on rail, or 96s. if delivered by road 

 to the mill, for home-grown wheat of sound milling quality, 

 and corresponding prices for wheat of inferior quality or con- 

 dition. As this will entail the use of more capital than is 

 required for the purchase of home-grown wheat at prices bearing 

 strict relation to the current prices of imported wheat in 

 accordance with F.M.C.C. Circular No. 298, millers making 

 purchases of home-grown wheat will be furnished on applica- 

 tion to the Director of Finance with a remittance on account of 

 a sum per 504 lb. on the total quantity purchased during the 

 preceding week. 



This sum will be the difference between 95s. per 504 lb. 

 f.o.r. and the current selling price of imported wheats of 

 similar or comparable quality. For this purpose, the c.i.f. 

 selling price of Argentine wheat per 480 lb. as announced by 

 the Royal Commission on Wheat Supplies from time to time 

 shall be adopted as the value per 504 lb. of home-grown wheat 

 at station, with the addition of Is. per quarter if delivered by 

 road to mill. 



The price of 95s. per 504 lb. will continue so long as the 

 average (c.i.f.) cost of imported wheat remains above the 

 parity of that figure. This average will be the average of 

 the c.i.f. cost of all milling wheat imported during the two 

 preceding months, and of the actual and anticipated arrivals 

 in the United Kingdom during the current month subject to 

 an adjustment in respect of the lower percentage of flour of 

 equal water content obtainable from home-grown wheat as 

 compared with imported wheat. In the event of this price 

 falling below 95s. prices will be revised by the Royal Com- 

 mission on Wheat Supplies in accordance with the cost of 

 imported wheat and announced monthly.
