That wheat will sell for a bushel delivery at the terminal marr ket was the preivif Hon again of the local millers, when they looked over the mantel and saw wheat quoted a ftl. 1 a bunhel. It is likely that the takers will In ereaMth price of their iruducUJortr Tni "tlie'ffiocer'to sell bread at from to 7 cento a loaf. It looks as if this was the only plausible solution for ths question, aa a stats law prohibits the cutting of the sizs of the loaf now sold.

Bakers, however, are of the opinion that It will be a poor move, as the retailers have told ths bakers that the consumer will not pay TnoTB thaft' five' e'KU for bread. The Retail Merchants association, with whom the bakers made the JO. day truce, declared that the question ito oner ws tm them and It was up to the baker to act. Retail sales of flour have picked up since' the talk of raising the price of bread was slatted and many people already haveTjcgun the baking of their own bread. 1 1 It la expected that bakeries will raise the price of doughnuts, cookies and cakes, If ths price of flour again advances.

Predictions are for $10 flour before Hprlng, Many millers believe that ths price will reach that mark.
