BREAD IS SOARING
High Price of Flour Forces Advance
or Smaller Loaves - Bakers Con-
fronted by Serious Situations.

New York, April 16.-With -four up
40 cents barrel and the prospects
good for further rise New York City
is facing the possibility of bread at Z
cents a loaf as a result of the recent
rise in the price of wheat The Ghetto
CT New York already has felt the effect
of the Chicago corner. Six cents a loaf
is the price now charged by some
bakeries. Others declare they can not
continue selling at cents much long
er with flour of the better grades cost
ing from 81 to 1920 a barrel, against
$3.50 to $3.50 few days ago. They add
that even 6 cents would not give them
any sort of profit.
Concerted action TO raise bread
prices is expected at the next meeting
of the East Side Master Bakers AS
ISOLATION. This organization comprises
400 proprietors of the smaller baker
les, twenty-five of whom have. it is
stated, given up business since the big
rise in wheat began. The secretary de-
clared today that present conditions
meant either cut in the weight of
each loaf or else an increase in the
price.
You could buy a twenty ounce loaf
on the east side eight months ago for
4 cents" he declared. and now a ten
ounce loaf costs at least cents. 1t is
safe to say that the price of bread and
rolls has practically doubled. Fifteen
hundred bakers have been thrown out
of work and 1000 others are without
regular employment"

Master Bakers in Protest.

NCincinnati, O.. April 16.-Members of
the National Association of Master
Bakers have joined in a protest against
speculation and gambling in the staple
necessities of life, and today prompted
by the high price of flour attributed
to the corner in wheat. they joined in
a request to congress for action. After
meeting of the executive committee
of the association Simon Hubig, Of
Cincinnati, its president, sent the fol-
lowing message to Senator's Dick and
Burton and Congressman Longworth
and Goebel:
The executive committee of the Ma
tional Association of Master Bakers
respectfully calls your attention to the
practice of wheat gambling at Chicago.
We believe this should be stopped at
once and prohibited in the future
Flour being the one absolute necessity
TO keep body and soul together. we
deem it a crime against the rights of
the people to permit wheat gambling"

Stockyard Notes.

The signal of distress is out in the
heavy steer trade. There is urgent need
of a stimulus to keen demand. The
heavy grades are selling relatively too
low.
The foreign shortage OF the meat
supply is emphasized by many Euro

from superannuated horses that had
been specially fattened for the sham
bles.

days this week 57,1o0, decrease Of

FLOUR FOLLOWING WHEAT
Price Being Advanced and Mills Short
of Raw Material


Columbus, April 16.-The price of
flour continues to soar in sympathy
with the advancing tendency of the
wheat market. Columbus millers yes
terday put the price up 40 cents a bar
rel for winter wheat -four, and the
market is now quoted here at 81. This
advance makes a gain of 81 a barrel
here in the past ten days.
Jobbers say that the price will go TO
50 before the close of this year.
Millers turnout Ohio complain Of diff
ficulty to get sufficient wheat to keep
their mills running, and some of them
are only running on short time Some
of the baking concerns have only been
buying flour for immediate require
ments, while others have sufficient
supplies on hand to last them several
months.
The bakers here are now confronted
with the problem of either raising the
price of the loaf or reducing the size.

Eastern Horse Morket.

Boston, April 16.-The continued
cold weather retards the development
of the spring trade, but the local de-
mand is active. Liberal supplies of
fresh country offerings and well sea-
soned, acclimated horses found outlet
at nominally steady prices. The market
is firm and all classes of high quail
ity clear at the highest price level of
the season. Drafters are in more urgent
demand and wagon classes are freer
sellers. Light harness horses meet bet
ter inquiry at advanced values. First
class fresh drafters, 1000 pounds to
1900 pounds, strong at s325@45O; me-
dunn weight drafters at s275@350;
milk team, delivery, expressers and

is stated on high authority that
they are not drinking, UP at the Army
and Navy Club, to the health of SEN
ator johnson, of North Dakota.
Senator johnson is the original adj
vocate of the suppression of the army
canteen, and he has turned up with a
new plan to promote ebriety and NOR
ais in the army. He explained it all
to President Taft.
Let it be understood" is his pro-
posal, that promotions in the army
Will depend in large measure of Of
ficers' records for ebriety and abstem-
1ousness. Throw the great moral influ-
ence of the president on that side, and
1T will accomplish great benefit"
1t seems that Senator johnson was
among the statesmen who went to
Hampton Roads to see the fleet come
home. Visiting a battleship with a
party of friends, the polite captain in
vited them to take a drink of some-
thing mighty fine; been clear around
the world, you know" The senator de-
clined with thanks. He doesn't take
drinks; and now the captain is sorry
he did it, for that effort at hospitality
has set the senator off on the new
scheme of promotion in inverse proper
ton to the number of drinks con-
sumed.
Which would you rather, or re-
sign?" demanded an elderly major,
ride ninety miles, walk fifty miles, or
keep tabs on your highballs and guar
antee to consume fewer of 'em than
any other man of your rank? / sup
pose we must be bad lot, but I really
doubt if so much outside attention to
our morals will greatly improve US"
Senator johnson hasn't announced
how far he induced President Taft to
go in the matter of promotion by the
abstinence route, so the army men are
hopeful that the drought will not hit
them at once.
President Taft has Instructed naval
officers that he is to be kept in the
closest touch with all information
about the naval programs of the first
and second-class naval powers, and he
peruses everything reported to him
with the greatest interest. The debates
in the English commons, and all infor-

Prices Rise in Connecticut.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 16.-Bakers
in most of the cities of Connecticut are
worried over the outlook for prices on
bread and cakes. In this city pastry
has advanced slightly, while cakes and
buns, usually selling at 10 cents a doz-
en-, We're marked up to IL cents. Many
wholesalers advanced the price of flour
25 cents barrel.

Saw Omen. in the sneeze.

The old Romans held that to sneeze
between noon and midnight was
good omen; but that to sneeze be-
tween midnight and noon was very
bad sign. Also, to sneeze while in the
act OF rising from bed was an omen
of such dreadful import that one
should at once return to bed for
awhile.-The Sunday Magazine.

cows SHOW MOST ACTIVITY, BUT
DEMAND NOT SUFFICIENT
TO ADVANCE VALUES.
HOG PRICES GENERALLY
FIVE TO TEN LOWER
Offerings Were in Excess Of the Needs
of Trade, and Market Was Again
Weak-strensth From Shipping Or
ders Of Brief Duration-sheep Steady
But Slow.

Chicago, April 1e.-Cattle-Only a
few lots of steers of inferior quality
We're offered today, for which steady
prices We're paid. Cows showed more
activity than any other grade, but de-
mand for them was not sufficient to
cause an advance in values.
Moderate supplies considered, the
trade this week has been a big disap-
pointment. The four days receipts to-
tai only 41,40O, against 39,4S0 a week
ago and 41,096 year ago, but con-
sumptive demand has failed to grow
and the call for steers has been much
smaller than expected. There We're few
export orders here since Monday and
inquiry from shippers, while about at
last weeks volume, has been quite in
different for the classes of steers which
really needed greatest stimulus-the
good TO choice heavy lots. Shippers
have been quite pour buyers of the
heavy beeves, claiming that j, is a dlf-
ficult Il .gh to sell the heavy cuts of
bee and toat naturally wiki the mar
ket IN this condition they are not in
need Of many.
Packers, TOO, have been partial to the
medium and light steers and have been
relatively better buyers OF the kinds
ranging down igoIn $6.25 than higher
costing grades. The situation is not
expected to improve until conditions in
the beef trade are better. Export de-
mands are down to a small volume and
not likely to grow materially for a few
weeks.
There is certainly nothing in the
present situation which tends to en-
courage liberal shipping of steers.
Heavy good to choice gra des are down
TO the lowest point in many weeks and
the medium and light kinds, while rel
atively higher than best classes, are
still considerably off from the high
point.
Hogs.
Hogs We're again weak, offerings be-
ing in excess of the needs of trade.
Prices We're generally to 10 cents
lower. The tone during the first hour
was very weak, but later when ship
ping orders became more numerous, a
feeling of strength was impaired. 1t
was, however, TOO Insignificant to over
come the influence, which worked for
a lower market.
The decline in hog prices was so
fierce Wednesday and Thursday that
many statesmen We're inclined to hold
the hogs rather than sell them yester-
day, because at the reduction the coun.
try shippers stood to lose severely.
About $1,000 hogs remained unsold last
night. The declining values for hogs
are encouraging short provision sales.
There was some buying of May ribs
credited to local packer yesterday,
While good many shorts were taking
their profits. The demand for fresh
meats has fallen off and in conse-
quence the eastern shipping demand for
hogs is not so urgent as of late.
Sheep.
Sheep We're steady, but slow. Lambs
were in most favor, tho, except in a
few instances values did not show any
material increase over those of yester-
day.

HOT SHOT FOR
FORESTRY
CARTER EXPECTS RESENTMENT
OF CRITICISM. MORE BOSSES
THAN WORkMEN" - GIVES
SOME LIGHT ON A FEW HABITS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-"Dur-
ing the day." said Senator Carter of
Montana, in discussing the forestry
service in connection with the agri-
cultural appropriation bill today, Il
have heard that a conspiracy had
been formed here to reduce the
amount of this forestry item. The
employment of that term as applied
TO the action of the senate in seek
ing to correct an appropriation which
seems too large Is fit example OF
the manner in which all persons are
treated In and out of this chamber
when they exhibit the temerity to OBJ
ject to appropriations for the for
estry service"
Mr.. Carter called attention to an
estimated deficit in the public reye-
nues next year of s140,0O0,O00 and
declared:
I'VE will diminish appropriations
or increase taxation and any person.
in the presence of this great situa-
tion confronting the government is
guilty of supreme impertinence If in
the employment of the government to
suggest that senator bent upon re-
ducing appropriations is engaged in
conspiracy
Il will comment on these expendi-
lures, although well know that 500
facile pens will be set in motion and
men will be sticking type all over this
country tonight resenting ordinary
criticism as hostility to the preserva-
tion of the forests. l make this pre-
diction in respect to the press be-
cause that has been the experience In
the past. This Is one service that no
man dare criticise without having his
motives impugned."
Mr.. Carter declared that in he
forestry service there are more
bosses" than workmen.
Reading a report of the forestry
service he declared many expendi-
lures were made for articles of lux
ury and said that under the system
pursued. anything could be purchased
by the forestry service from a $40
lecture to a steam engine. A trip
had been taken, he said. by one of
the employees of the forestry service
to California and back at a cost of
SAIL, part of his mission being to
deliver lecture in ST. Louis.
Senator Nelson vigorously defend
ed the forestry service, saying that
despite ridicule, 1t would continue.
Mr.. Carter moved to decrease the
forestry appropriation from $4,000
900 to $2,000.000 and with the
pending. consideration
was postponed until tomorrow.
He said that If the proposed liquor
should make report 1t
would be necessary that II should be
before it should be given
to the public If it followed along the
lines of the home report.

One of the first subjects to occu-

was the speech made by Cook of Col
orado, who attacked President Roose

fered calling for the appointment of
committee of FIVE to investigate and
report upon the advisability of ex-

siderable debate the resolution was
adopted and the committee appoint
