NEW YORK, Jan. s0.-New York
bakers are treading warily in dis
cussing the possibilities Of rise in
bread prices.
"As long as it is within our power
to maintain the present Nievel OF
bread prices we will do so.'' said
William B. Ward. president Of the
Ward Baking Corporation. IF the
price of wheat and in consequence
flour reaches such a level that it is
impossible for us to maintain our
present prices, we naturally shall be
forced to advance them"
Offices of H. B. Cushman & Co.,
expressed opinion that a rise in
prices is due shortly.
A representative of Schultz Bread
Company said, while it may be
necessary to raise prices. we are
holding of as long as possible. High
prices may have to come"

Thursdays late dealings Further
adjustment Of speculative accounts
impaired by substantial recessions in
stocks like Radio and Worthington
Pump caused considerable Irregular
fly in some parts Of the list.
Oils, however. continued strong,
rejecting further gasoline and crude
advances. Mack truck continued to
be featured among the high priced
industria1s, reaching a further rec
ord high at 1874.
Stocks maintained a strong tone
around noon, with buIlish demon
stratious in special stocks the prin-
cipaI feature of the trading. After
its run up. to a record high, Mack
Truck reacted more than four points
on profit taking sales. 1t held steady
at this level. despite positive denial
by President Sloan OF the General
Motors that his company would take
over the company.
This action demonstrated these ru-
