BRAN AND POLLARD PRICES
(To the Editor.) Sir,—We are recommended by the Government to buy New Zealand goods. Some little time ago, certain flour-millers took advantage o£ the high price of Australian offals to increase the price in New Zealand. When the Australian market dropped in price for their pollard the firm brought their price down, and when Australia again lowered their price by 10s per ton these millers did the same. Knowing that their price for bran was above that of Australian bran, they advanced their price for this offal, and this will be the case presumably until Australia is able to quote a lower figure. Is it conI trary to law that any group of millers should regulate their price iv New Zealand according to.what Australia quotes?
Where do the poultrymen and others concerned in the use of offals come in? It is understood in the trade that millers are going to alter their prices according to what the Commonwealth can quote. Should this be permitted? Would it not be better to let those who cau take their courage in their own hnnds and decide to import Australian, even at a few shillings more money? I am sure that tho consumer would not mind this, to put v stop to a policy which can only be described as "dog in the manger."—l am, etc..
