Flour Mill Building on the new process of grinding the wheat has become a great industry throughout the whole world. The old stones are replaced by chilled iron rolls, which have a great many important advantages over the former, and owing to their adoption on the Americas: and European continent, large quantities of foreign flour, of superior quality to home made, are being imported into this country. and thus the millowners of the United Kingdom, of which there are about 11,000, recognise that in order to be able to compete with foreign flour, manufactured on the new system, they must at once re-model their mills, and adopt the new system - but of the above 11,000 mills over 200 have already been altered. Roller Mill System.— These rolls are used exclusively in connection with greatly improved dressing and purifying machinery, and the flour and bran produced thereby are of a superior quality. The introduction of the above improved system of milling in various mills in the United Kingdom has proved in every case a financial as well as a commercial success to the respective mill-owners, and Messrs. Fiechter's are now well known as among the best mill builders in the United Kingdom, and certainly their well-studied system of Gradual Reduction I Milling, based upon great experience and practice, is second to none. The new Company proposes to continue the manufacture of the Special Flour Mill Machinery, so far made by Messrs. John Fiechter and Sons, at their works in Liverpool, and the erection of entire Flour Mills, &c.; and to increase the capacity of the firms, so as to be able to cope with the great demand for Fiechter's Machinery System and general Millwright work, a large portion of the work will be done in Warrington, at the Bewsey Mill Works, which are well fitted up and arranged for the purpose The Company will also undertake to execute, as before, orders for Messrs. Jones and Sons, well-known Boilers, Engines. &c. The Directors have, furthermore, made arrangements with the inventor, Mr McNeill, for the manufacture of a new Tram Motor, driven by gas. The first Car is already in hand. This new invention promises to become a great success. It is estimated that the cost of the Motor will not exceed that of a set of horses to work an ordinary tramcar, while the saying will be from eight to nine pounds per week per car. The Motor is self-propelling, and may be worked continuously any length of time or distance without stopping, except for a short time once a week for cleaning purposes. '
