BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIG ETI
Received Dec. 31, 11.35 a.m. SYDNEY, Dec'. 31. The price of bread from Monday next will be increased to o*d over the counter an the Metropolitan area and to s|d in the suburbs. The Attorney-General (Mr Bavin) 'states: “The increase is part of the price we have to pay for the general prosperity in our primary industries.' Owing to the high price of wheat, due to. world causes over which we have no control, the price of flour naturally increased, and with it the price of bread. Primary producers have had a pretty bad time in reoent years, and they are fully entitled to the benefits they are receiving from the present .state of the; world’s market /or their produce. We cannot expect them to sell to the local consumer at less than the world’s parity. That being so we shall have to put up with the increase in the price of bread.”
