How Buyers a. Of Bread
Help Pay Profits.
Bakers Put in Less Flour
Than They Did Before.
They Think Prices Will Be Coming
Down Before Long.

New York. Aug. 2i-Although the
present increase in the prise OF wheat
has brought joy TO farmers who have
wheat 20 sell and TO those who are max
ing large profits by speculation, the buyers
of bread in this city arc contributing
heavily to the profits that others are max
ing so easily.
Notwithstanding the price of flour has
gone up as a natural result OF the rise in
wheat, the price of bread has not been
raised in New York AT the same time,
consumers arc receiving smaller and
lighter loaves from bakers than before tho
wheat market underwent such "a remark
able change. Several bakers today were
unwilling 20 admit that they had reduced
the size of their loaVes but 10 il not prob
able that many bakers are sacrificing their
profits for tho benefit of their customers.
we have got TO reduce the amount of
flour in loaf now" said ono small
baker I'VE cannot stand the rise of 81
per barrel for flour. Tho price for the best
grade of flour has increased more than
that. We have TO compete with grocery
stores that sell two loaYes Of bread Tor D
cents.
AS in other instances of tho kind, the
public is the sufferer when the price of
commodity goes up. We bakers would be
driven out of business il we had TO stand
the rise in the market price Of flour.
When meat goes up inlprico. IL is not the
butcher who pays the iDcreaseu rate, but
the consumer, and tho same rule holds
good in tho case of sugar or anything else
of the kind. In the case of bread however,
the reduction in the size and weight of
loaves is So small as 90 bo not particularly
severe on tho consumer"
Bakers throughout the city do not think
lint ~ Wi l,o 1gt, hnf
of wheat will come tumbing down. Then
the price of flour will follow, and the size
aud weight CT loayes Of bread will be as
before.
