DEAR BREAD.
[TO ; THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD.] 'Sen,-— I see by your paper of ye -ter— day that the bakers have agreed to charge the consumers of bread 4d for tho 2 lb liaf instead of 3d as before ; but it is quite another thing whether the public will agree to piy it, I think not. Has flour mddenly risen more tban 25 per cent; or is it, that the new Act compelling- bakers to be honest m their weights, cmses the unusual rise as compensation ? If bread lises m England it is generally £1 to £ion th? 2ib loaf, but therp,we jump Id at once without any known cause — I am, &c, Consumer. December Ist, 1883.
