PRICK OF GROCERIES (Special to tho Herald.) WELLINGTON, this day. A tendency for the prices of groceries imported from overseas to show an increase was mentioned by •a Wellington retailer, who said increases in the prices of certain lines, •such as sardines and pastes, had already occurred. “The main cause for these increases,” he said, “is the control ot imports and the cutting down of •supplies from overseas. The position will be felt much more keenly later on when the new regulations really begin t'o take effect. At present supplies are still coming forward which were ordered before the regulations came into force.”
