DROP IN PRICE OF FLOUR

Predicted.

The approximations Of housck cepe:s,
which have been excited by the re
auctions made in the last two months
in the size OF the 5-ccnt loaf OF bread.
will be allaycd to some extent by the
assurance given by large buyers of
Hour that n further decline in flour
prices is indicated by current quota
lions of -four and wheat.
The weight of the LOAF has been cut
by most OF the local bakers to twelve
ounces The diminishing of the loaf
has been gradual. About two months
ago the average loaf was fourteen
ounces y year ago it was fifteen
ounces Bakers give as the reason
for the tightening Of the loaf an in
crease i'm the cost of ingredients used
with -four in the making Of bread,
pastries and other products of the
bakeries.
Best flour has been selling at 1918
n barrel this month. but prices quoted
to buyer of barrel lots yester-
day was s5.l5. The housekeeper who
buys a single barrel. however, mus;
still pay from $3.50 to s6.75.
EACH BAKER FINES
HIS OWN WEIGHT OF LOAF
There is no standard" loaf in Rich
mond. Each baker fixes his own
weight for the loaf. Some OF the
smaller baking concerns continue to
supply fourteen ounce loaf. but the
majority have adopted twelve ounces
as the largest size possible upon wAicn
fair and reasonable profit may be
obtained.
1t is further explained that tho size
OF the loaf cannot be increased i'm
mcdately a drop in the price of -four
is quoted. because the bakers usually
have a supply of -four on hand which
has been purchased in an earlier mar
ket, and they base their selling prices
on the cost of the materials already
purcha sed. Ordinarily about four to
six weeks are required for rcadjust
nent of retail prices after the whole
sale market has taken material up
ward or downward trend.
Indicat tons at present are for a re-
turn TO the larger size loaf Of bread
during the fall.

ordering an election on November TO

death of Minctrec Folkcs. the City
Democratic Committee will nominate

said that. in his opinion. this would bc
the course pursued.

HADDON SAID TO BE:

II is understood that the judge has
received several applications for the

METHOD OF NOMINATION
PURELY POLITICAL. QUESTION

In his letter to Clerk Christian Judge
Richardson states that the nomination
or candidate is purely a political
question. and one with which he is not
called upon to deal. He made it plain
that the matter would have to he de-
cidcd by the party committee.
Secretary Duke did not think that
tho committee would establish n pre-
ccdcnt by falling TO make a nomination
and permit the choice TO be made in a
frcc-for-all contest at the election. He
thought the result would be too much
OF tendency TO permit n break in
