PRICE OF BREAD
MAY Be INCREASED
Bakers Feel Anxious Over
High Price of Flour.
ADVANCES DOLLAR A BARREL
Would Be Necessar7 in District 20
Raise Cost of Loaf to Six
Cents.

The price of bread is TO be increased.
The war between Russia and Japan is
the cause of II. That war in the Far
East should have such an effect is
doubtless surprising to many, and the
relationship between the war and the
cost OF bread in Washington would
naturally seem remote.
Nevertheless. the influence of the one
upon the OF er is beginning to be felt,
and will soon be matter of grave con-
Germ. The advance of the price Of
wheat due to the outbreak of hostilities.
has already been brought home to the
bakers and in a little while the public
will be reached.
In the District the rapid rise in the
price of -four has been looked upon
with alarm, and leading bakers do not
hesitate 70 admit that IT is merely a
question OF time before bread will be
advanced unless wheat declines to its
normal value
81 a Barrel Higher
In "A single month the price Of flour has
jumped from $3.50 to $3.50 a barrel.
When it is considered that large baker
les use from Is TO $50 barrels daily. the
significance Of the increase is realized.
1t is seen that their business cannot be
conducted on a profitable basis unless
there is a corresponding advance in
bread.
There is little chance, however. that
the price will be advanced at once. at
least in the District. Local bakeries are
fortunate in having laid in a large sup
ply OF flour while hOstilities between
Russia and Japan were pending. Indeed,
some of the larger establishments in
Washington have sufficient on hand TO
run their bakeries at full capacity for
six months more.
No Five-Cent Leaf
Bread at present sells for cents a
loaf and would be increased to cents
II the change in price were agreed upon.
This would fully reimburse the bakers
FOR their additional expense, and would
scarcely be felt by the great majority
of people. The higher price would be
temporary only.
The size OF each loaf of bread is regu-
lated by law In the District otherwise
II would be possible to make up for their
loss by red scing the amount of -four
put in eaCI loaf
