PRICE Of BREAD MAY RISE.

Z BAKERS ALARMED
They Hope, However, That tlte

Before uis Projects Can Be Car
ried Out a Two o" Even Three
Cent Rise Is Possible.

Washington bakers are in hopes that
there viii be no rise in the price of
bread during the remaining period Of
this winter on account of the Letter
wheat deals in Chicago. They acknnyvl-
edge. however, that it must all depend
on the strength and success Of this new
wheat king and his crowd. There. has
been a rise of 80 cents barrel in -four
in the last two weeks, traceable di-
rectly to Mr. Letters dealings. Every
rise of a cent in wheat per bushel
means q rise Of cents per barrel in
flour. There is a difference of opinion
as to Letters strength. Farmers as
sert that he already has contract for
the entire surplus above the actual
needs. The surplus controls the price
on the other hand, il is argued that
the quantity OF wheat is so great that
his millions viii not hold out, or, at
least, that his nerve will not. "Old
Hutch" put wheat up to $3.50 once, but
conditions favored hIm more than they
do Letter. Without any question, how
ever, there are grave possibilities in the
present situation.
of the high price of wheat this winter
in Washington viii be felt by the bakers
only. They are not now making much
money, they say, with flour at $3.50
barrel. They refrain, however, from
raising the price of bread for fear the
consumers might, to n large extent,
manufacture their own bread. A raise
of one cent in the price of bread would
be considered too much, and as it is not
possible to make fractional advance.
If Mr.. Letter is entirely successful,
bread must go up. Local bakers are
more or less depressed over the situa-
ton, but hope that Letter Will not be
able to do much more harm. II. B.
Leary, of Leary & Schneider, said yes
terday:
we are able to get all the -four of
the best grade that we need The price
is going up, however. There has been
an advance of 30 cents in two weeks
No one can say what the outcome may
be. There viii not be another crop of
wheat until July. and that will be win
ter wheat. II Letter is able To continue
his tactics with his present success he
may be able to dictate the price OF
wheat before that time. and squeeze
buyers as little or as hard as he
chooses. The bakers in this city prob
ably have a supply of flour averaging
enough for two months. Some of them
did not expect the rise, however, and
did not buy. These viii have to supply
themselves at the present price. or even
a higher one. if the Letter deal goes
through. That is the practical end of
the deal as it affects this city"
William S. Berens said:
There win probably be no rise in
the price of bread. The pinch of this
manipulation affects the baker for he
cannot make a 1 cent raise to meet the
so cent rise in flour. We have sufficient
flour on hand to last three months, and
i believe that Letters deal will fall
through inside of that time. | do not
believe he has money enough to con-
troll the market this year. 1t is a possi-
bility, but that is ALL"
