Hello !"
"Well 2"
Il am G. A. Blaffcr, at the Cottage
by the Sea. The idea struck me that
it would be a profitable business to
raise kids over here"
"What sort db you mean ?"
Just hold on a second and | Will
explain. Isee that goats are plentiful
around and they seem to be fat and
healthy. Now, suppose a man would
start Il regular goat farm and raise a
quantity; after awhile his kid crop
would increase SO rapidly that it
would be an object to kill them for
the skin, which, after being tanned
would bring a good price. The manu-
facture OF kid gloves would be a big
industry"
Much obliged for your idea. We
will see that more kids are raised at
Pascagoula."

Bakers Will Yield Some of Their
Profits.
4 REDUCTION IN PRICE MADE TODAY
Consumers to Get Some Benefit
From the Fall in Flour.
PRICES IN OTHER CITIES

The price of bread in the District of
Columbia has been reduced.
Hereafter a loaf of bread will cost the
consumer 4 cents instead Of 8, as hereto
fore. The bakers claim that there will be
no reduction in the quality or weight of the
bread to correspond with the lessened cost.
This victory for the people is one Of no
mean proportions. For some time past The
Star has been agitating the matter and In
sisting that with the price of flour lower
than it had ever been before there was no
sense or justice in keeping up the price of
the manufactured article. The bakers in
sisted that it was impossible to lower the
price, as it would cut off the profit, and
that with bread at cents a loaf they
might as well shut up their shops. Just the
same bread is selling today for cents
loaf and up to the time of going to press
The Star has not heard of any shops going
into bankruptcy.
1t is essentially q benefit to the laboring
classes and for poor people. People of
II cans who buy their -four by the barrel
and make their own bread at home have
had the benefit of the low price Of the
product of the mills, but those other people,
the people whose wherewithal to live comes
in day by day as they work for ii, and
sometimes with not SO much regularity,
those people are forced to buy the staff of
life as they need it, and they have been
paying the same price they used to when
the price of -four was double what it is now.
1t is in sense victory for The Star, for
without the insistent war The Star has
made about the matter there is no reason
to believe that bread would have gone down.
The natural presumption is that they would
have been willing to pocket the extra profits
that accrued from the reduction in the price
of the raw material. But there is no need
for going into that at this time. The fact
still remains that the people are so much
better off today than they were yesterday.
The change went into effect this morning.
AT an informal meeting OF the boss
bakers last evening it was unanimously de-
cided to lower the price. Grocers and other
retailers who had occasion to buy their
bread from the wholesale dealers and man
ufacturers found that a change had come
in the night, and that they could get their
bread at wholesale for cents a loaf, with
the understanding that they would retail 1t
at an advance OF L cent. The retail price
from the bakers is also cents.
1t is impossible, of course, to state how
long this schedule will prevail, but in all
probability it will be as long as the cost Of
flour remains where it is One of the boss
bakers, and one of the most prominent and
active men in the business, said to a Star
reporter that there would not be the slight
est change in the quality or quantity of the
article.
How long do you suppose bread will stay
at Its present price?' asked the Star man.
THAT 1 do not know" answered the
baker, CURLY, but until such time as we
are compelled to raise it,"
However, the price of bread is down TO
cents today.

Bread in Other Cities.

Not only is Washington to have cheaper
bread, but the agitation here has awakened
other communities to the fact that, through
their own Indifference, perhaps, they are
continuing to pay as much for bread as
when flour cost nearly twice much as at
present The agitation carried on in The
Star. and which has been successful in Sc
curing to the People the benefit of some pro-
portion of the reduction in the price of
-four, has been taken up in st. Louis and
Chicago and other cities. The result may
be that in every city in the land the peo-
pie will get cheaper bread.
Star correspondents have investigated the
price of bread and the conditions attend
ing its production in various cities, and the
results are given below.

MINNEAPOLIS, October %, 1884,
Minneapolis has ordinance regulating
the weight and manufacture of bread ex-
posed for sale In the city. Connected with
the health department Is bread inspector,
who enforces every provision of the ordi-
nance to the letter. 1t is ordered that every
single loaf of bread shall not weigh less than
sixteen ounces and every double loaf not
less than thirty-two ounces. Any baker
may, however, supply to his customers any
desired shape or weight of loaf over one
POUND, provided the weight of the loaf is
stamped thereon. The ordinance further
provides that upon every loaf there shall
appear legible stamp, tag or impression,
with the name and business address of the
baker. Other sections of the same law pro-
vide for clean premises, wholesome ingre-
dients, &c. For violation of any portion of
the ordinance the offender may be SEN
fenced to pay fine not exceeding 500 or
to Imprisonment in the work house not en-
ceedlng ninety days.
The price in this city varies from to 8
cents per loaf, the former being one-pound
loaves and the output of the lower class of
bakeries, while the scent loaves generally
weigh from twenty 10 twenty-five ounces
and are of the most desirable quality.
The wages of journeymen bakers range
from 50 to four times that amount, but the
average good man will earn from S14 to $40
per week.
There has been decided reduction in the
retail price of bread in the past three years.
The prevailing price three years ago for all
kinds Of bread, good and bad, was cents
per loaf, and nearly every loaf was from
two to four ounces under weight. The
poorer kinds of bread have been reduced
in price to and cents and while the
finer kinds cannot be bought any cheaper
the loaves have been increased from IS to
50 per cent in size. The reduction in the
price of flour has certainly been responsible
for the reduction in price of bread and the
increase in the size of the loaves, as men,
toned above. Bakers in this city figure
that -four is fully SO per cent of the cost of
making bread, and a reduction In the cost
of this ingredient has the tendency to re-
duce the cost of the bread.

BOSTON, October %, 1894.
In Massachusetts the loaf of bread has
not diminished in price with the fall in the
cost of -four nor has the legal weight of the
loaf been increased. In fact, there has been
no legislation on the matter Of bread since
the seventies, and the law stands today as
it did fifteen years ago. The regulations as
to the weight of a loaf of bread are as fol-
lows:
Revised Statutes, chap. 90, Sec "a loaf
of bread for sale shall be two pounds In
weight Bread, except that composed in
chief part of rye or maize shall be
sold in whole, half, three-quarter and quar-
ter loaves, but not otherwise.
Sec. 4. In every shop or place where bread
is sold by retail, and in each front window
thereof, there shall be conspicuously placed
a card, on which shall be legibly printed
list of the different kinds and qualities of
leaves sold there, with the price of each by
the loaf, and by the half, three-quarter and
quarter loaf.

RICHMOND, Va, October "a. 1894.
In Virginia there is no law regulating the
weight of loaf of bread, but by mutual
agreement the bakers place 1t at from one
pound to one pound and two ounces.
The retail price OF bread per loaf in Rich

The prevailing rate Of wages for Journey

men, according to experience and qualifica-

There has been no reduction in the retail

PITTSBURG, Pa, october IT, 1894.
There are In Pittsburg no regulations as
to the weight of a loaf of bread. As a re-
suit, there are many weights and many
qualities, and the price depends not only
en- the weight, but upon the brand OF flour
used.
The retail Price OF bread per loaf is from
5 to cents, according TO weight and quail
ity. An ordinarily good quality of bread.
fit for any table, and of really fine grade,
retails at the rate of cents for a loaf
weighing 3 1-2 pounds. This, of course. IL
a large loaf the largest made here. A two
pound loaf generally sells for cents. The
five-cent loaves are often a little short IN
weight. Journeymen bakers are paid from
So to $15 per week. While the prices or
bread have not changed much or any per
loaf of the various brands, our bakers are
putting about 80 per cent more hour in the
loaf than they did three years ago. The
wholesale bakers Of this city sell bread,
they claim, so that IL can be retailed cheaper
than a hOusekeeper can buy the -four and
make the bread, counting her cost of fuel
time and labor.

Capt. Reed reached st. Paul last even
ing. having been delayed halliday by
the efforts of Postmaster Sim ons and
his petition. The dispatch which pur-
ported to have been sent from Glencoe
on Saturday, and which appeared in
the Sunday Minneapolis Tribune, he
stated was not sent from Glencoe, but
had evidently been hatched up at the
Heatwole headquarters in st. Paul.
Never Inteuded to Withdraw.
"All these reports that was to with
draw" said Capt. Reed. "were without
authority. 1never had any intention Of
pulling out, although l was bounded by
great many people. Even when these
reports were being sent out every day l
was receiving letter after letter telling
me scores of good, loyal Republicans in
all parts of the district would not vote
for Heatwole. l have never seen the
tide set in so strong against q candidate.
The best men in the Republican party
everywhere are against him. The feel
ing of distrust is general among
Republicans. and l expect to receive
their votes"
Here Capt. Reed produced a bundle
of letters from all parts of the district,
which he read. One from Goodhue
county said: "If public opinion con-
tinues to turn toward your candidacy as
it has in the past few days. you will get
more Republican votes than Heatwole."
Capt. Reed, in speaking of the at
tempt made to prevent the filing of his
petitions at Glencoe, said that the Heat
wOle men thought the notary public had
not taken each mans acknowledgement
at the time he signed. but, as precau-
tions had been taken, the scheme failed
to work. When he mailed the certIfi-
Gates to other counties, Capt. Reed de-
manded receipts for the letters FROM
Postmaster SimonS, which the latter re-
fused. Upon which refusal Capt Reed
took the letters to the afternoon train
himself.
