uct 40 cents a barrel
A number OF large and small bakers
Of the city interviewed today ara di-
vided however In their opinion as TO
the prospect Of a change in the price
or size OF Ioaves. Some of the lager
bakers are disposed to believe that the
corner will not last long. and that the
old price OF -four will soon be restored.
Several smaller bakers. on the other
hand, declared emphatically that a re-
duction in the size Of the loaf or an
Increase IN the price IS apparently their

ready advanced the price OF their
products. securing from the public the
extra money which they have to pay
through the -four dealers to the wheat
