PRICE OF MEAT
RISE FORECASTED
(By Telegraph.)
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
DTJNEDIN", This Day. According to the statement of a buyer of one of the largest Buuedin retail butchery firms there is a possibility of a fairly substantial riso "in tho prico of meat iv the near future. This is duo to tho fact that the Canterbury butchers will be forced to compote, at Burnsido owing to the shortage of supplies in their own district. Another butcher hero was of tho opinion that beef would bo affected more than mutton, and ho predicted that beef would rise to about 50s per 1001b. At the last Burnsido sale tho values ranged from 33s to 30s. It' the butcher is correct in his surmise, there will bn an increase of one penny per lb. If there is a corresponding increase in the price of mutton tho consumer must bo hit fairly hard.
