SCARCITY OF STOCK.
Still another district which is feeling the shortage of stock is Eltham. The local paper records the fact that master butchers in the district are exercising their minds over the scarcity. One butcher is reported to have said that owing to the fact, that there are now very few settlers within 20 miles of Eltham who go in for fattening stock, he was afraid he would have to go to the other side of the Waikato for it. He had commissioned agents in Eltham, Hawera, and Stratford to procure supplies, but all had the same story to tell —they could not get anything.
