PRICK OF BREAD.

(To the Editor.) Sir,— l was much astonished to kco that tho bakers' ring had come to tho conclusion to raise tho price of broad, in consequence of the high price of dour. I believe that Hour has risen about 10s per ton, which would amount to about a farthing in tho 41b loaf, and to collect this they put 300 per cent on. I think the time has fully come when wo ought 'to protect ourselves against this rjns. Obo of tho best means is by pß^b<bh?ng a co-oporntivo bakery. '{here \i one at Inglewood, and I am iojorwed that bread was 5d per 4(b loaf, which is a fair price. By this means you would get a trade at once, as every shareholder would be a. customer, or we could band together and get our bread from Inglewood, some young man with a lurse and cart to meet the mail train and deliver the bread. They would bo pleased ' tg'supply us no doubt. \ see th^t Bread; M still 4J to 6d at BoQ)e« where we Head our whoa,t, so tM If H \m* the™, tta bakers and millers here mu£t be, getting far more tlmn, ought, My reason for wr^no. mor? aspacJAlly, is that I hold that $bso|Mtß necessities, such as bread and iiiuai should not be gambled in to the detriment of the people. — I am, etc., HENRICUS REX,
