THE PRICE OF MEAT.
To the Editor of tlie " Timaru Herald." Sir.—ln your issue of the 16tli inst. you report ii successful sale of stock at Greiaidine. and that- the whole district was well represented, which would include Timaru, I presume. Xow, I notice that fat ewes went for 9s. and the best wethers for los 6d each, and still we have to pay the same price fcr our mutton as when our butchers were giving 18s to 20s each. 1 wonder whether they can find language to justify this charge." I they will be fair and content with a reasonable profit. I am. etc., PROVIDER FOR A LARGE FAMILY.
