Dearer Bacon.
When the Government subsidy to bacon curers is withdrawn at the end of this month an increase in the price of bacon is expected. It means that the wholesale prices will be increased by about 4d per pound. The rise will be passed on dii'ectly and there will be a corresponding; _ increase in the existing retail prices, which stand at approximately 1/4 per pound for shoulder and 1/7 for side cuts, according to the quality of the bacon. It is expected that the rise in the price of ham will amount to about lid per pound wholesale, as the subsidy on cooked ham was lifted last May.
