The poor consolation is offered the Winnipeg public of knowing that so far the price of flour has not been increased by the stills in proportion to the advancing prices of wheat. Now comes this latest addition to the prices and the consumers of bread can appar- ently stake up their minds that flour will ascend still higher, and that they 1 will not decline for a long time ahead. The two first advances have not resulted' et (ho bakers raising the price of bread, but with Friday's addition it Ls a fere- • gone conclusion that th.• consumer must pay more for Iris bread. 1 UNREST CONTINCES 1\ INDIA.
