"Assuming temperature increases projected through 2035, which are probably understated, food inflation will increase by 0.92 to 3.23% per year, while headline inflation will rise between 0.32 and 1.18% per year.

PRICE OF BREAD
PROTEST TO GOVERNMENT

Fraser, A. L. Monteith, and R. M‘Keen, will wait on Sir Francis Bell to-morrow morning to protest against the rise.
