THE BREAD QUESTION.
(To the Editor of the Tu-apeka Times.} Sib,—l regret to see that the bakers are again trying to exact an exorbitant price for bread. Sorely, if they managed to live with the loaf at ninepence through the winter, roads were bad. and carriage dear, they should rather think' of lowering than raising the price now that settled weather is set in. I know that the price of flour is not so high as to make ninepence or even eight-pence an unfair price, and I think householders shovld combine, and offer inducements to some baker to start here. If all interested pledged themselves to support such a person, I have no doubt the illustrious combination would soon have to cry for mercy. They certainly deserve none, for they have acted in a selfish and cowardly manner, I. don’t intend to support any of them again, but mean to make my missis bake enough for ourselves. > hope you will insert this,Ms everyone knows it was the agitation valuable paper that lowered the *lca before, and I hope will again. Excuse, errors.—l am, &c., IlauaiiHO&Oßk, JJawrencej October 25,
