“ Unless removed it will ruin the industry,” commented one local fishmonger on the increase of 2s a sack for oysters on last season’s price. Pending tlie possibility of a settlement which would have the effect of stabilising the wholesale scale, Dunedin shops are selling the delicacy at a price that compares favourably with last season’s, when a dozen in the shell cost 4d. Today most fishmongers are charging sd, though one local shop has so far kept its price on a level with last year. In the pottle form no extra charge has been levied, two.dozen costing Is fid, a dozen Bdi and three dozen Is 9d. There are sixty dozen oysters to the sack.
