•jpnrpP*-’*.* v k . If farthings were ever used in New Zealand' currency it must have been a very long time ago, and even the half-penny has had only a limited use of a number of years, traders being content to fix- the prices at an even amount, mostly for the sake of convenience in book-keeping. With more rigid price-fixing as a result of the increases in other items, however, the ■ halfpenny: will certainly have much wider use than before, and : it woulc be surprising if there was a request for the farthing to be brought into circulation. In many recent price lists rates are fixed at amounts which, in many cases, include farthings, 1- haff-pennies and three-farthings, half-pennies for both wholesale and retail rates.
