PRICE OF BREAD
is STILL HIGH
Des Moines Bakers Take the cake in
Charging Fifteen Cents For
Small Fourteen Ounce
Loaf.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, July 3O.-The staff
of life has increased GIG per cent in
a compilation Of statistics Of bread
prices in forty leading cities Of the
country.
Today the average price of a pound
of bread is lib cents, as against
11.05 year ago.
A loaf OF bread today weighs any
where from ten ounces to two pounds
and the price from eight cents to a
quArter. The average is an 1892
ounce loaf, costing 1874 cents.
New York pays Is cents for %
ounce loaf, Chicago II cents for a
20ounce loaf.
Des Moines boasts the most expen-
siVe bread-fourteen ounces for fif-
teen cents, while in Philadelphia \
pound costs but nine cents.
The middle west, despite its grain
fields, runs almost cent to the
pound more than eastern cities.
Harrisburg, Pa, and Lincoln, Neb.,
are the only cities which show a de-
cline in the price of bread during the
last two years.
But Flour Is Cheaper.
CHICAGO, July 30.-While the ma
tons bread has been raising-in
price-the cost of flour has declined,
millers declared today.
Best patent spring flour today sold
at $14.50, hard winter flour at 1870,
and soft winter at s13.90-declines
of nearly one dollar in the last two
years. A drop of fifty cents came
last week. The highest price in his
tory, however-s1670-was reached
in the last two months. Prices were
from sixty to seventy cents lower
here today.
Wheat prices on the Chicago board
of trade have steadily declined since
the resumption of trading a month
ago. Quotations today were more
than thirty cents lower than when
the pit started operations.
Large crops and prospects of a
clearing railroad situation, according
to bearish traders, may cause further
declines shortly.

ASKED TO
CLEAR FREIGHT YARD

BOSTON, Feb. 2S.-Industrial es-
tablishments were asked to divert the
energies of their employees today to
digging out railroad yards and juno
tion points in New England where
thousands of cars have been stalled
by recent snow storms.
Experts on transportation, who con-
ferred here, regarded the situation
as the worst in history. Many plants
have had to shut down because of
fuel shortage and others will be fore
ed to close early next week unless
traffic conditions are improved The
question of food supplies is serious in
some sections.
Freight houses of the Boston and
Maine railroad were closed here to-
day and the employees were sent out
to help the track clearing crews 1t
was announced that only perishable
materials, foodstuffs and fuel would
be handled by the road.

FRENCH RAILROAD
STRIKE IS CALLED

PARIS, Feb. 2S.-Odrers for a gen.
eral railroad strike have been issued
by the National federation of railroad
men. Reports were current last night
that this action had been taken, but
confirmation could not be obtained
until late this forenoon
Railroad strike conditions through
out France were considered near a
crisis this morning and belief was
expressed that a breakdown of the
strike movement or paralysis of the
nations railroad system would en-
sue during the day.
Operating conditions on the Paris,
Lyons and Mediterranean line and 9th
er roads objected by the walkout of
employees seemed to be slightly inn
proved last night.
Traffic was shown to have increas-
ed during the "a hours closing at
midnight, and it was believed that
mobilization orders sent to men of
the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
and States roads would bring a suf-
ficient force to carry on normal traf-
fic.
Strong military forces are guarding
tracks inside the city limits of Paris,
and law authorizing the requisition-
ing of automobiles, motor trucks and
air planes in case of interruption of
railroad traffic was passed last night
by the chamber of deputies.
