In the meantime, however, the bakers . f Portland are going ahead and raising , bread prices. Announcement was made yesterday that the wholesale price of t bread would be advanced 1 cent today ' to 9 and 13 cents. The reasons given are the higher prices of eastern flour, which the bakers make use of, and the 'increased cost of other articles which enter into breadmaking, as well as the Ereater labor cost. Retailers will also doubtless raise their prices 1 cent. 'FAKE' POLICE RAID HOMES RESIDENCE TORN" TP BY MEX MASQUERADING AS 'DRY SQUAD.' ltd' C'S t"", I fc t "' " - r- , 1 I st - t H Hn.

It depends upon country-wide and world conditions that Swift & Company cannot control and cannot foresee. All the world needs meat, and only a small part of the world is raising live stock. So live stock is dear now, and meat prices must keep pace. Competition will continue to keep the "spread" low so that the price you pay for meat will be as close as possible to what must be paid for live stock.
