STRIKE AFTERMATH.
DEAR BREAD AND SCARCE COAL. (By Telegraph.—Own -Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Monday. A small quantity of State coal was brought to Wellington by the Komsta, which arrived froni Westport this morning. It was" practically all cold 'before arrival, the State coal department having booked up a certain number of orders, and then stopped doing ..business for iseveral weeks. Even now it is taking no chances, but is doling out the freeh supply, a -bagful to each customer. At the time of the strike the price of the 21b. loaf in Wellington was raised from 3Jd. to 4d.. at which figure it still remains. 'During the industrial trouble ■flour rose from £9 to £10 10/ and £11. It lias since gone down about 10/ a ton, but that as not sufficient, in the opinion of the master bakers, to warrant a reversion to the Old price ni 3£d. -for the 21b.. loaf. 'When flour -recedes to £9, the bakers will, it is anticipated, make a reduction of *d. a loaf.
