DEARER PRICE OF BREAD Public Must Bear it, Says the Board . of Commerce, Ottawa, Jan. 21.-~The Board of Commerce monthly to have been $10.63 against, $10.7 in October, which is taken to ny cate that the trade is using mo winter wheat flour at a lower price, to blend with Manitoba spring. This perhaps may account for the lower vield of bread per barrel in October, and November 263, equivalent to 177 loaves of one and a half pounds each for October, and 176 for November. The board says fewer reports were received, as compared with the pre- vious month, but the number tabul- ated and the results from same are fairly representative of conditions existing in November, Notwithstanding general efforts in the way, of expensive advertising*to increase bread sales, November showed a decline of four per cent. in consumption. The returns tabulated showed a slight increase in cost of produc- tion of about one tenth of one cent per pound, indicated in cost of in- gredients, management and fixed charges, a new price list for flour, Decem- ber 29, 1919 showing an advance of $2.25 per barrel of 196 pounds. This increased cost of flour, says the re- port, will necessitate an increase in 'cost of bread of about one cent and a quarter per pound and a half loaf, so that where bakers were selling at justified in advamcing the price to increase is be regretted from the standpoint of the consumer, the pub- lic must bear if, says the board. It is expected that the bakery trade will not take. advantage of the situation by an increase not justified in the case.
