NOT CONSIDERING RAISING
PRICE OF Bread HERE
Several OF the Biggest Bakers Say
There Is No Need to Do So at Pres
ent as They Have Flour Bought at
Old Prices

The rise in the price of wheat will
not immediately cause decrease in the
size of bread loaves in this city in the
opinion of local bakers. or result in an
advance in the price per loaf For the
most part they have -four on hand
bought before the recent spectacular
rise in wheat.
Bernard Schmidt, whose bread .bak-
ing business is one of the largest in
Central Pennsylvania, said he is not
considering an increase in the price of
bread or decrease in the size of the
loaves. He said he knows of no move
ment among local bakers to make any
change for the present, saying the
supply of flour on hand, bought at the
old prices, will see them through for a
while.
Mr.. Andrews, of the Harrisburg
Baking Company, is also of the opinion
that there will be no immediate
changes, since supplies of flour pur-
chased at former rates are on hand.
AT the Hotfer Flour Mill Company
offices it was said that flour will go
up five cents a barrel with each one
cent increase per bushel in wheat, 1t
viii drop correspondingly with each
drop in the price of wheat.
