FOOD SHORTAGE is NOT
CAUSING ANY FEARS
AMONG DEALERS
HAVE AN ABUNDANCE
WAREHOUSES; WELL ENOUGH
SUPPLIED TO TIDE CITY OVER
SEVERAL WEEKS EMERGENCY
UNTIL NEW CROPS BEGIN COM.
ING IN.

Ottawa Is in no imminent danger
Of a food shortage.
The city Is in view of the pres
ent abnormally inflated price Of
wheat facing the lJc loaf of bread
So critical has the -four situation be
cone than one Ottawa baker Is max
ing q l5c loaf as test upon the
public Others are contemplating the
same step and are convinced that the
day of &c .oaf Is doomed, and that in
It's stoad housewives win be- able to
purchase only the 10 and lac sizes.
Loop bakers are CONVINCED that
day is not far away.
AT the present time, said the eX-
ocuti,e manager of one down town
bakery, we are making our bread
from -four contracted for at the low
or price. As soon as we go out onto
the market to purchase the next con
signment, We will be forced to pay
the mill price for carload lots-and
that means the 15c loaf. At the pres
ent price OF wheat S2SO---we will
have to pay SIS barrel for flour. 1t
wiz be impossible for us to turn out
a 10c loaf of the present size and
make q profit.
Il expect to see the l5c loaf come
almost at any time now" he ended.
Plenty Food On Hand.
Investigation today shows an album
dance OF food in Ottawa warehouses
enough to last the city several
weeks without replenishing. Local
gIoeers saw their stocks are strong,
sho. tage being felt only In lines that
are not classed as staple, and which
will be rep.enished by crops within
the next two months.
A tightening of prices and fears
OF famine in staple lines has caused
wave of heavy buying in all food
ducc men are unanimous in caution
ing buyers to go slow. Heavier buy
ing will create serious shortage and
possible famine. Care now will pre-
vent this stringency, they, say.
Wholesale purchasing of staples,
boarding food stufIs in the larder in
order to protect yourself. is now
branded as Il lack of patriotism rival
ing the Stacker bridegroom" or the
conecript Optimism is the attitude
of men who deal daily with the food
situat tion and arc fighting TO keen it
normal
While they predict steady supplies
OF food it IL noticeable no promises
are made concerning future prices.
The general intimation by produce
men Is they are at sea- on that
phase OF the food question. Constant
shifts recently, wavering on the
board with rumors of peace end
jumping at another rumor of further
steps toward war have shot the
prices far above the high water
mark and threaten to boom them
higher.
Highest On Record.
When bread reaches the l5c mark
II will have touched the highest al
ttudc Cn record. 1t was only yeal
ago that the &c loaf was eliminated
from bakery counters and the cent
