FALL IN MEAT PRICES
NEW SCALE FROM YESTERDAY The prices of stock in the country have been falling lately as a result of the congestion in the meat stores at Home. “Stores” are down to the level of 14 years ago, and fat stock, both beef and mutton, have fallen proportionately. The slump is more or less reflected in the retail price of meat, although the public are not so far getting the full benefit of the reduction in the .wholesale market. The fall in "butchers’ prices ranges from Id. to 2d. per lb., but that fall may be increased shortly. The prices ruling in some of the shops yesterday were as follow-.—Sirloin, 7Jd. per _ lb.; ribs, 6Jd-.; rump steak, lOd.; brisket, fresh or corned, on bone. 4d.; legs of mutton, 5Jd.; chops, 6}d.; neck and breast, Sid.; sides of mutton, 5d.; hindquarter of lamb, 10d.; forequarter, Bd.
