The Ragged Street Vendor Has
Left Streets of London Now

LONDON, March 16.-AlmOst COM
plete disappearance Of the ragged but
picturesque stree vendors and other
thoroughfares is one of the notable
changes brought about by year and
4 half of war
Before hostilities began the curb
stones of the principal streets were
lined from morning to night by hawk
ers of pirated copies of popular songs,
cheap toy sellers and match vendors,
while at every few yards the passer-
by was accosted by man or woman
carrying fruit-basket or a tray lad
Ell with chocolates or other candies.
Now these are gone and pedestrians
are grateful for the relief from the
constant appeals to buy. At the same
time the police are pleased to be freed
from the continuous duty of keeping
the ragged army within the limits of
the city ordinances.
Other characters of London's streets
whose disappearances, on the con-
trary, is regretted are the relocated
shoe blacks formerly on every street
corner and around the railroad sta
tons. The disagreeable London mud
oozing up in case of wet weather ow,
ing to the clay composition of the
Gubsoil, makes these mems absence
noticeable, and also that of the cross
ing sweepers who at the junction of
freqeunted streets swept narrow path
ways through the mud and whose ser
vices were much appreciated by the

Small Dealers Begin to Feel
Pressure-Some Say They
Are Selling at a Loss.


Price of bread per loaf promises to
become subject Of nation wide interest
in the next week.
Prospect Of scent bread was brought
close home to Washington today with
the announcement that Baltimore bak-
ers are to establish that price within
a week or ten days.
Washington bakers asserted that no
immediate raise was contemplated by
them.
But coupled with this statement they
give figures to show the tremendous
jump in prices. not only OF -four. but OF
other ingredients of bread. Of labor, and
of equipment for delivery.
Advices also were received In WASH
ington today that. in Pittsburgh, bread
already has advanced to s cents, and
that a jump to scent bread will take
place in Norfolk next Monday.
Washington bakers today pointed to
the following salient facts. in regard to
the situation today:
At various times flour has gone to It's
present price of more than S n barrel.
but never before have they been con-
frontcd with top notch prices In -four and
soaring prices In every other commodity
that goes into bread.
Bakers and drivers In Washington are
unionized. and receive higher wages
than the same laborers In other cities,
where prices have been advanced.
All indications are that flour will 20
even higher. and some bakers said they
had been reliably informed that $40
flour was not far distant.
Many of the small bakers already
are beginning to feel the lash of higher
prices. Some of the big bakers had
flour on hand; others assert they are
selling bread now at a loss.
Baltimore bread, according to news
paper dispatches from that city. had
shrunk to eleven and tweIve-ounce
loaves. Here practically all the big
bakers are selling ioaves Of thirteen and
