BUTCHER'S BUSINESS CLOSED
NO PROFIT IN MEAT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Tlie following notice appeared to-day on the window of a butcher's shop in Tory Street: "This business will be closed for two months on account of the high prices of meat. Thanking my many customers for past support," etc. It is understood that the retail butchers have lately had more than one interview with wholesale suppliers with a view to securing a reduction in the wholesale prices, but that no concession of a size to be transferable to the public is in prospect. Meanwhile the high prices in the local market are cutting off the wholesalers' trade, as the above notice, and many other similar cases all tend to show.
