(To the Editor.) Sir, —Is it correct that the wholesale price of eggs in Invercargill is lid a dozen as against 2s 5d a dozen here? I understand that the reason is this: that the Internal Marketing Division will not allow Wellington to purchase eggs from further south-than Christchurch. Can you tell me if this is [true? —I am, etc.,
[The official reply is as follows:— "The wholesale price of standard grade eggs in Wellington today is 2s Id per dozen, and in Dunedin Is lOd per dozen. The price, today in Invercargill, which is not an egg marketing centre, is not known to the Division, but must" be considerably more than lid if the Dunedin price is Is lOd. Considerable quantities of eggs come to Wellington from points south of Christchurch."]
