BREAD LOAVES
CUT DOWN BY
THE BAKERIES
City inspectors, Who Are Prob
ing Food Prices, viii Re-
port to Mayor.

Inspectors from the department of
weights and measures, continuing
their investigation of the sudden rise
in food prices, visited bakers in this
city today.
Although bread still will be sold for
five cents a loaf, the bakers said. they
will be forced to reduce the size of
the loaves Boaves of bread. from
now on, the bakers say, will be about
two slices smaller than they have
been.
As an excuse for their action the
bakers blamed the rise in the prices
of -four, sugar and feed for their
horses. Flour, they said, has jumped
from rs cents to s1.25 a barrel. and
sugar, which could be purchased last
week for Az cents a pound, now is
selling at TX cents. Since ordinary
loaves Of bread only permitted them
to make a small profit at the former
prices of -four, the bakers say they
have no choice but to make the
loaves smaller now that the price of
-four has risen. Malt, they say. also
has risen cents a pound and oats
are selling at % cents a bag more
than last weeks price.
The Newark investigators take the
same stand as Investigators else

price of flour. There is no excuse for
ii they say The wheat crop is large
and with exports of wheat and flour
practically at an end the supply for
consumption in this country is big
enough, the probers say. to make the
rise In price unnecessary.
The findings of the inspectors with
regard to the price of bread Will be
given to Mayor Haussling along with
other evidences of unwarranted rises
in prices on Monday, and it is likely
action will be taken to prevent the
proposed reduction of loaves.

Appeal to Shippers to
Limit Exports in Fight
Against High Food Cost

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-In it's effort
to keep the cost of living within rea-
sonable bounds the mayors commit
tee, investigating the high price of
foodstuffs in this city, has decided to
increase the scope of its endeavors
by making an appeal to the manufac-
turers and shippers throughout the
country to limit the export of food
to what might be regarded as excess
above domestic demands.
This plan of the committee has
been under consideration by George
w. Perkins, the chairman, for sew
eral days. He has consulted with :"
heads of many large concerns, ana II
is believed that enough promises of
support have been made to assure the
success of the plan.
The national associations of the
trades engaged in the manufacture
and distribution of foodstuffs will be
appealed to first and a special effort
will be made to enroll the men who
control the meat. sugar, -four and
coal supplies in the scheme.
