The Presbyterian harvest festival was, brought to a close on Thursday: night. The business activity of the previous evening was maintained, and whft remained unsold was soon dis.,posed of by Mr W. Simpson, auctioneer. The guessing of the weight of the sheep was won by Mr R. Pringle who, guessed correotly (801h). The ..number of peas in a.bottle was 698. Mrs W. Hughes, with a guess of 703, was the .'nearest and .won the sad-iron. She retii'fncd it, and it was sold by auction for £1. Mr-P. S'mellie proved the winner in. guessing closest to the number of lollies in a bottle. The number /was 249 and Mr Smcllie's guess "wss 241.... , The fair, was a decided suoce«s, and the net returns should b« about £50. \ '.. The;', phcnqnieual rise in the price of .butter has led to a great reduction in the sale of that important article of food. "It is an acknowledged fact in commercial life," declared a leading Auckland rotailer to a -New Zealand Herald reporter, "that when the pries of a commodity exceeds a certain figure Hts'-sale' diminishes. That is precisely what has happened to -butter.— As iyouJinoW". the sales of~large quantities to §lu£&*afia put up the price to Is 3d. Jand how it is Is 6d per pound. The -people:", begrudged paying Is sd, and 6ales fell off, but sinoe the extra penny was put on large sections have ceased to purchase it. while many people have reduced their orders. The working class simply cannot buy it. and many ,of .the poorer, people are buying roast beef dripping from the restaurants at sixpence- per pound. It is only at a tiinc like this, when prices are 60 high ■ that people in such a prosperous country as 'New Zealand,.turn to dripping but' I can tell you that the position is very different in the Old Country. The demand for the first-class roast beef dripping is so keen that people have to -await their turn'to be supplied. One effect is • that the demands for cheap .jams and golden syrup has greatly increased."
