PRICE OF BLANKETS.
QUERY FOR BOARD OF TRADE. SOLDIER MOTHERS' DECISION. A comparison of the respective prices charged for blankets and sheets in NewZealand and in the Old Country has 4ed the Soldiers Mothers' League to make representations to the Board of Trade on the matter. The question was considered at a largely attended meeting of members in the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. An advertisement was read from a London paper of last November giving the price of extra heavy fleecy blankets for full-sized beds at 19/11 per pair; heavy grey twilled sheets, full double size, at I9fll per pair. The price in New Zealand being four and five times that amount for the same articles, it. was decided to forward the advertisement on to the Board of Trade for its solution of the great difference between the Home and local prices.
