VEGETABLES SCARCE IN SYDNEY
SUPPLIES FROM NEW ZEALAND! GOOD PRICES REALISED ' CABBAGES AT 21/- A DOZEN [U.P.A.— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright! SYDNEY, This Day. A consignment of cabbages, peas and beans brought from New Zealand in the Awatea were sold at the markets yesterday. Prices for cabbages reached 21s a dozen, and choice peas and beans "ealised 24s a bushel. If the local scarcity continues it is likely that further and larger importations will be made. Rationing of egg supplies in New South Wales by 50 per cent, has become necessary because of the recent heat wave and bush fires, in which between 200,000 and 300,000 fowls died.
