Journal.) Prosser, Wash.. April 2l.-While bak ers over the United States are raisin the price of bread, because of the soar Ins price of wheat in the markets of the world. Prosser bakers have taken an unexpected and startling step in cut ting tne price or Dreaastuirs, ana now large loaves of the finest wheat broad, made from "home grown' wheat f the -Horse . Heaven and ' Rattlesnake dis tricts can be secured In Prosser for Ity cpnts .a loaf, , or seven loaves for 25 When the Patten efforts on the Chi rato market became noticeable, the Prosser bakery company had 150 bar ren or nour on nana. The company was meeting soma strenuous opposition, including the sale of bread by various grocery stores. The owners of the big bakery decided that they had a; fight to maice, ana immediately stuck up a sign that bread was seven loaves for ta cents. ..-.-. tTnaff acted by Flour Advance. That sign has not come down, and when one of the proprietors was afeked today whether he would go back to the old price of 6 cents a load, he said: "Not for a while. The price of flour Is not affecting us right now." Moreover, other bakeries of the lty, while -, not. advertising cut prices on bread, are not raising any on their prices. As a consequence the Prosser housewife is happy, for she does not have to depend on rye flour or on cheap grade wheat flour, but keeps on using the same material in her housekeeping, The bakers don't appear to fear bank-' ruptcy. The Prosser-Flour mills, which has a large plant at ,thla place, Is heavllv .stocked with wheat, and is not raising' the price of flour as-rapldly a eastern urms. city announced an arivanra of a cent n loaf In the price, saying that It would be necessary to sell the loaves for ( conts because of the advance In the price of flour. Today the a-rorers an. nounce that they will not advance the puce to cents. They have notified the baker that they will refuse to Handle bread before they will add 1 cent to the price. - The suggestion to cut down the Six of the loaf meets with strong opposition for the reason that a cut of two ounces was made some time ago. and the bak ers refuse to sell a 13- ounce loaf. There is now. practically a deadlock, with the longer end of the argument In favor of the grocers. TACOMA BAKERS SAY PRESENT KATES ARE . C0XSU3IING PROFITS (Special r)lpatci to Tb Journal.! " Tacoma.
