WHEAT SHORTAGE
BECOMES SERIOUS
Price of Bread Raised but
Bakers Say They Are
Losing Money.

NEW YORK, Feb 1O.-IIotel men,
bankers and prominent merchants
met today at the call OF Mayor Mitch
el to discuss the rise in the price of
bread in this city and to determine
what measures can be taken TO meet
the situation.
The price Of bread was increased
from to cents today by many bak-
ers and the prices If rolls, pie and
cake were raised in proportion.
While the conference reached no
decision, the opinion was expressed by
many that it might be possible to OBJ
tain an agreement with the big bakers
and large dealers that prices should
be maintained at the figures obtain
ing before the increase, with a view
TO setting an example to the smaller
interests.
During the discussion the represen-
tatives Of one Of the largest baking
companies of New York declared IT
was impossible for any baker to buy
tlour at the present prices, make II
into bread and sell II at u profit for
: or even 6 cents.
George w. Perkins declared the
farmer was holding his wheat for 81
and that It was being held at the orig
iual source on account Of the war and
the higher price that export wheat
might bring.
Your committee on food supply Is
trying every day to educate the people
on substitutes" said Mr.. Perkins.
When asked what substitute he had
for wheat, MI Perkins replied that
he attended a dinner recently where
oatmeal cakes were served.
