cinnatl should ever be served with Richmond bread, they would mistake It for pound cake." Who says so? Well, a man closely Identified with a Richmond baking concern; a man who eats his own bread. He tells us that a baker formerly located here is now working in Cincinnati at the trade, and when he sets hungry for real bread, he takes a day off and comes to Richmond to , eat a loaf or two at his leisure. All of which is simply preliminary to stating that flour has gone up. It has gone so high that a master baker - tells us that the local bakers are

. three weeks, against 40 cents per barrel on some of Richmond's most popular brands. It will be remembered that the food administration did not limit the price one might pay for wheat, above the minimum at which Uncle 9am stands ready to buy every

thing offered, according to grade. If ' you feel like paying 15 per bushel for wheat, go ahead. This explains why Minneapolis millers are paying $3.40 and up for No, - ldark- Northern right now, with a chance that It will sell later. around

If people will have fancy advet tlsed brands, then they must pay the price, regardless of the fact that hundreds of mills throughout the country fare making first class flour at much lower prices.

know, that the government has been asking a considerable profit on some of its wheat in store at eastern points; from 35 to 45 cents per bushel

in fact. - This docs not appear reason i able in view of the government J claims and its idea of keeping the, cost of living down.

"Taking a broad view of the situation it is very possible that we have, seen the "low" on flour for some time to come. This is in view of the yery large reduction In winter wheat acre-' age, and of a bread-hungry world. Condition, of the growing crop is rather unfavorable, compared with normal

L years, and the worst season is yet to

tome. What may be done as to spring

acreage is a problem, but it will be very large under favorable conditions for planting, should the winter crop show much deterioration during the season for spring sowing. At the moment it -looks as if the letting down the bars by the government, for the next harvest, and the opening of the markets to speculation

' in wheat, at that time, may result in 'higher prices for wheat, and as there will then be no restriction on flour prices, presumably, no one can foretell what floar will bring a year from .date. It must not be forgotten, however, that Europe will strain every nerve to raise breadstuffs, and that the . price of wheat is a world, and not a -local or national problem. Canada lalso figures in , the spring wheat ; market and can spare us a lot in case ; of need, even of the last crep. The general situation as to food

stuffs later on, and the sise of the ' next potato and garden . crops, will ; also have due effect upon the prices'

idt wheat and flour next year. Nor - must the price oforn, oats, live stock, etc., be overlooked in this reckoning; nor the general price trend and Indust trial conditions prevailing a year from ' date. Each of these factors will enter ;into the price 6f bread In 1920 and ,1921. lust as .they, do' today, so why prophesy?, , .
