The Jocal office of Dalgety's knew- nothing of this' 'movement, and in response to numerous inquiries from clients, interrogations were addressed to Sydney, but tho Sydney office' could •throw no light on . the matter,, and a .'letter to the , head office, London, ■ ,brought a reply' dated January 8," .in which the following statement is made: "We are entirely at a loss to understand where this information emanated from. It was also published in tho Australasian paporu as a United Service cable. Wo are unable on this side to find out who sends the United Service cables, and wo think ...it highly likely that the report, comes/from : America. It was absolutely unauthorised, and in no way emanated from the head office,' or, as far as we know, any. of our : branches. We do not suppose that anyone in the trade who has followed the course of ttio market, would take a statement like this really seriously."
