Mathematical Labs figures
May be Ambitious, But City Has Big Sweet Tooth BY THE CUB Figures never lie. If so, the 30,000 people of Richmond are the possessors of very sweet teeth, during the Christmas season. According to information furnished U.. ..AMmJaelsvn marftlianta anil whnlft-
s ale groceries, about 150,000 pounds of nuts are sold in the two weeks before Christmas. This is 5 pounds to each Inhabitant. Over half this amount is composed of English walnuts, the remainder being- divided. Proprietors of wholesale candy companies, retail groceries, confectioneries, candy manufacturers and five and ten cents stores, say that there is enough candy purchased during the Christmas to furnish every resident with 10 pounds. Round figures places the amount at 500,000 pounds or 250 tons. This does not include the amount purchased from mail order houses, candy of homo manufacture. It is estimated that each person In Richmond consumes five pounds of
oranges during the Christmas season. The average amount of grapes, grape fruits, dates, bananas and apples is also estimated at 5 pounds. About 00,000 pounds of fruit is stowed" away by Richmondltes. This is equal to 10 pounds to each man, woman and child, or 250 tons. This amount would make a train of 7 freight cars. Dealers also report that sales of Christmas products is considerably larger this year than last. The prices are slightly higher on some articles and cheaper on others.

IF TOUR DEALER DOES NOT
HANDLE THEM. WITTS US
Another attack from the old H. C. I is about to be delivered upon the defenseless people of Richmond! According to bakers, the present high price of sugar and flour will cause an' advance in bread, cakes, pies, cookies and pastries within the next 45 days. Wholesale sugar dealers are asking local bakers 20 cents a pound for cane sugar which Is about 8 cents a pound more than the bakers were compelled
to pay when their last supply of sugar was purchased. Beet sugar Is 13ft
cents a pound, but cannot be bought In large quantities An unlimited amount of the high priced sugar can be had. Sugar cookies and cakes, requiring much sugar, have ceased to be manufactured by one large baking concern. These pastries require so much sugar that it would be impossible to bake them without a substantial increase In price. "The wrapped cakes that retail In Richmond groceries for 15 cents each, are bringing 20 cents in other cities of Indiana," said this baker. "The cookies that are on sale in Richmond bakeries for 12 cents a dozen, are bringing 15 and 18 cents in these same cities. The one pound loaf of bread that retails for 10 cents and the pound and a half loaf that sells for 15 cents, are now selling for 12 and 18 cents In these same towns." Judging from this, Richmond bakers are withholding the attack of the H. C. L. until' the last moment. They will not be able to withstand the attack any later than Feb. 1, as salesmen for flour mills predict that the better grade of flour will sell for $18 a barrel, wholesale, by the end
of -Jsjiuary. The present price Is $14.70 a barrel. A month ago it was selling for 13.70. .. Bakers maintain that It is not their fault . for. .the . increases . but. place the blame upon the shoulders of the buyins public The large flour mills are compelled to raise the price of flour, the railroads are asking higher freight rates, sugar, lard, eggs, and in fact, everything that is connected with the baking industry has advanced. The bakers advance their prices and the public buys without asking the why, when or how. ; Despite the advancing price of flour, bakers were able to hold -the price, as sugar was one commodity that, had not doubled in price, ? Now that sugar has been taken from government control, it has jumped 8 cents a pound, and is expected to take another 8 cent jump by the end of January. It Is predicted by one baker that the pound loaf of bread will be retailing for 12 cents and the pound and a half will cost 18 cents, by the end of January. ,
