STATE MEAT SHOPS.
FIRST DAY IN AUCKLAND
EFFECT ON THE STOCK SALES
(Press Association Telegram.) WELLINGTON. Jan. 25Hon. Mr. MacDonald. President of the Board of Trade, to-night received the following telegram from the secretary of the Board of Trade at Auckland in connection with the opening of two State butchers’ shops there to-dav: — “First day’s business at Government shop constitutes a record, despite adverse conditions and an exceedingly hot day. The saleyards on Wednesday were evidently affected through the scheme. Beef prices were normal, but mutton prices were 2s to 3s less than last week’s rates. Everything is proceeding satisfactorily, but strong evidence is apparent generally that the scheme should be extended.”
