week but remained above s. a barrel. Heretofore
the bakers acted In individual way only. but yes
terday the majority OF those in the Bread Trust de-
cidet TO raise the price OF their seven-cent loaves

The concerted action OF the bakers so far affects
only the loaves which formerly sold in the
sores for seven and eight cents loaf There has
loaves which sell now formerly for Ave cents
These small oaves are purchased mostly by the
poorer classes The big bakers declare that they
arc not making these loaves any lighter than before
