Writing to her parents from Loudon under date of November 27 (reports the Taranaki News), Miss Maida Hooker, of Hawera, makes an interesting comment bearing on. the price of food commodities :■ “Meat here is a price. English meat we never buy, as it is sold from Is 5d to Is lOd a lb. We always get imported, but even that is Is 2d per lb. Week-endsi our butcher sells special priced beef at 9d a lb—a wonderful bargain unsurpassed elsewhere in London. Potatoes are about. Is 6d or Is 9d ; a quartdr, a cauliflower (for two people) 4d, cooking apples 4d and 5d a lb, eating apples up to lOd and Is a lb, and cabbages from 2d up.”
