in the year, than it is in laying aside
money for the possible future need.
The current issue of the "Credit
Mems Bulletin, the organ of the Ma

gives several instances in which the
public refused to buy standard goods
at low prices, but bought the same
articles eargerly when prices had been
marked up.
One of these instances follows:
"There is a large retail concern,

BREAD PRICES
NOT DUE FOR DROP

bread prices would not decline for
some time, despite the fact that
flour prices are going down. Even
though both flour and sugar de-
cline in price. Mr.. FleisChmann
says, Iit would be some time before
that reflected in bakery products.
1T is the duty of the baking in
dustry to sell bread at as small a
profit as possible" Mr.. FleisChmann
said. but the baker deals in the
unit of a penny and it is easier for
him to turn a profit into a loss
than loss into a profit. Bread, in
my opinion, will not be sold at
lower prices for some time.
