THE HIGH PRICE OF FRUIT.
TO TBI XDIXOB. i Sirj—As I have taken i grens interest in this dear-fruit business end. you go into the matter again in your issue of the 13th, and also give a statement by. a Mr Feltham as to the cause of the-fruit being scch, an expensive item, I wish to stateuiat that gentleman's statement—at least, most of it—ia totally at variance with facta, as the en-, closed cutting from the Sydney 'Daily Telegraph' will show. This is just the period in Sydney when fruit is dear, but by that list it appears to the writer to be extremely cheap. The fruit trade here in Dunedin (the wholesale part of it) is in the hands of a ring. However, I hope you will peruso this hat, and then smite Mr Fekham. very hard. That is the wish ol—Yours, etc., CojQKMttEBAITH. January 14.
