NO PROSPECT Of
BOOST In BREAD
PRICES HERE
Flour and Wheat Markets Are
Being Manipulated, Asserts
James c. Gordon
PAYS sCANT ATTENTION TO
FLUCTUATIONS. HE SAYS
Other Bakers Agree That In
crease For the Present Is
Improbable

Although -four has been rising
steadily In price since the new year
arrived, and in Chicago has Jumped
So cents higher per barrel within "a
hours, Detroit bakers are inclined TO
look upon the matter as due 10 the
brokers fayorite game, and say that
it will not affect the price OF bread
In Detroit for the present ~ least.
"As far as our finn Is concerned
the price OF bread will remain the
same, at least until the cost OF -four
becomes so high that we cannot mar
ket our bread at present prices, said
James c. Gordon, or the Gordon-Pagel
Co.
I'VE do not pay much attention to
fluctuations In the market, knowing
that after the brokers get through
tossing wheat up and down, prices
will settle and we will know where
we are at on purchasing prices. We
are fully protected TO keep 10 our
present scale OF prices for bread by
the fact that at the outset OF the
war, a few months ago, We bought
enough -four to carry us through a
period OF high prices which now seems
to obtain. The baker has 10 buy his
-four through the miller. and he in
turn quotes a price based upon what
he has to pay for grain. We do not
anticipate having TO pay so much
more for our -four, that 1t will be
necessary to increase the price OF
bread--at least, not according TO the
immediate outlook"
The Newberry Baking Co. has no
expectation of increasing its prices,
and the Wagner Baking Co, declared
the same thing.
The David Stott Flour Mills. Inc,
once, said that the price OF -four in
Detroit had not advanced In the last
"a hours.
Wheat and -four brokers declare
that the advance In price In grain and
-four Is due to the enormous amount
being exported TO Europe for use by
the warning nations. The greater the
amount exported the less there will be
for Americas own use and the higher
the price to the American consumer.
CHICAGO, Jan. e.--Big bakers here
today differed in opinions as to wheth-
er the price Of bread would be az
fected by the jump Of SO cents per
barrel In -four.
z. w. Wilson, of the National Bis
cult Co., said the raise in -four would
have no effect on either prices OF
bread. nor in the weight Of the loaf.
Nearly all the bakers" said VIII
SON. laid In large supplies Of -four
last summer at much reduced prices.
They still have sufficient surplus to
tide them over the present high prices
without either raising the cost or low
ering the weight of the loaf"
Irwin +. Palmer, OF the Irwin #.
Palmer company. held similar opin-
ion. He told the United Press that
the raise In -four was not permanent.
A directly opposite view was taken
by Paul Schulze. Of the Schulze Bak-
Ing Co.
Bread is bound to advance In
price-possibly Immediately" said
Schulze. Bakers have used up their
surplus -four and have been losing
money for some weeks. They have
been operating from hand to mouth.
Either the price must be advanced or
the weight Of the loaf lowered"
