Bread and Coal Cheap.

Port Huron, Mich, Dec 1S.-Efght
Of the twelve large bakeries are SELL
ing bread at the rate of two loaves for
five cents. This is to meet a cut made
by the others, who last week reduced
the price from five to three cents a
loaf. Hard coal in stove size is selling
at $3.50 per ton, price unheard of in
Port Huron heretofore. A short time
ago the local dealers tried to raise the
price from $3.50 to S5.75 per ton. One
dealer refused to raise, and the cut
was made to bring him into line. He
refused to be brought to time, how
ever, and it is expected that coal will
be down to 81 if the war is not settled
soon. A Lapser avenue baker is SELL
ing bread at two cents a loaf.
