MEAT PRICES.

SHORTAGE ANTICIPATED* Tho shortage of stock offered for sale at the Addington market on Wednesday has resulted in increased prices being charged by most Christchurch butchers. There is, however, one practical butcher who, by anticipating the shortage, is able to offer meat to his numerous clients at a considerable reduction ou tho prices charged by other butchers. High prices are not the rule at M*> T. W. Stephenson's Cash Moat Market in Manchester Street, near Armagh Street, and housewives will be well advised to call along and inspect his tempting display of the primest meat, which is offered at the most reasonable prices in Christchurch. Mr Stephenson has on hand 1600 sides of mutton which ho is prepared' to sell to the public at tho old price, viz., sides 6d per lb; forequarters 6d; legs and loins 8d; chops 8d and 9d; also lamb, beef and veal.

Don't pay high prices elsewhere, but bring the cash in your pockets and take your joint home with you. Also piir smallgoods, pigs* heads and trotters can't be beaten. Now is the economical housekeeper to prove that it is possible to live on 50s a week. We sell cheaper than the Government can supply to the butchers. , 1
