 Tn an attempt to ind a reazon for tae remarkable advance of Biscuit stccE. a Nfan gtreet broker today purchased fer ; cents a package of rhe cheap product os the trust. He found that she sealed package weigh cd seven ounces, of which two ounces consisted of paper and five ounces of crackers. That means that the crackers are sold ct a cent an ounce, which Is 1G cents a pound, or S9 60 5ushel for four With wheat ct 55 cents a oushei it is TO wonder that National Biscuit can make such high records every day.
 This remarkable discovery inspired the purchase Of a single package Of each of the various breakfast foods made by the ceerai trusts. These were weighed in tae packages. lt f-as found that breakfast foods made If wheat and that must be cooked before using sell at E cents a pack. age and weigh from 5s to pounds each. making the purchaser pay from S4.50 to s5.5f a bushel for wheat, counting the carton as food.
 A celebrated biscuit made of wheat sells at the rat eof sS.32 a bushei, or 9SI per cent. of the price of May wheat ol the open market today. Corn flakes. of which there are se7. eral varieties. sell on the basis Of S0.S9 10 SS.14 a bushel for corn that can be bought ia the open mar Ect for 46 cents busheL Ehus tha price paid by the public ranges iron lt9l per cent. to 1796 per. cent price sI the ray corn. Oat meal sells n packages at an average of 10 cents Tor IF pounds, or S212 2 bushel. sh,ch Is Tio per cent of the price e the grain.
 dcny million dollars worth of these breakfast foods are consumed and If the public realized that 1t was saying such fabulous prices for food that could be purchased at from one fifth to one-seventeenth of the price paid 1t would probably ho able 10 solve the everlasting question Of the high cost of living.
 Meat at wholesale is Seii5as at su average of ole-haif of yaa sclG for q year ago, or even, later, and yet meat at retail sells at the came old price Butchers. take-z, srocers and little business men iu general join heartily in denunciation of Wall street and the stock market, but Wall street never asked such fab ulous profits as seem to be demand cd on breakfast foods and meat. Even 520 per cent. Miller fails to imeasure up with f769 per cent. corn ' flakes.
