STOCK AUCTIONS
CONTROL OF PRICES ABNORMAL SHORTAGE OF MUTTON AND BEEF [Per United Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, September 11. Christchurch butchers are concerned over the high fat stock prices ruling at the Addington market and, being prevented from increasing rates by the emergency regulations, will make representations to the Minister of Supply. In a statement on Saturday the Minister said the Dunedin master butchers have to return to the rates ruling before September 1. Christchurch prices were increased on August 31, but since then there has been a further market rise. The Minister hinted that steps would be taken to control prices at stock auctions. The Addington rates at present are the highest in the Dominion, because of the abnormal shortage of mutton and beef, but it has been stated this can partly be overcome by the release of surplus export mutton.
