CHINESE COMPETITION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.
Sir,- —I quite agree with your correspondent " Consumer" and •' Producer " thab the introduction of Chinese into the fruit trade would be the means of our getting fruit ab a reasonable price. We all proved the state of affairs that existed before Chinese commenced growing vegetables, and the (same thing would occur if we allow them to be put out of the trade now. I trust all housewives will follow my example and patronise hone bub poor John Chinaman, and thus prevent a monopoly in the vegetable trade the same as exists in the fruit. I should like to know how many of those vegetable growers who are so anxious at present to form a Society—for the purpose of excluding the Chinese—have been guilty of the practice of baying first hand from the Mongolian, and selling the vegetables as their own producing. I say to all housewives stick to the Chinamau and prevent monopoly.—Yours, &c, HOUSEAVIFB.
