FURTHER DROP IN FLOUR.
The price of Hour in the south is variously quoted at £\2 10s and £l3 f.0.b., less the usual 2j£ per cent, discount, and it has been suggested that buyers can land it in Wellington at those prices. This is a heavy reduction on the price charged some six months ago, when flour soared up to £l7 10s per ton. When it was at the latter price the public had to pay 5d for the 2lb. loaf, and when it dropped to £ls the price fell to per loaf.' The reduced price will justify bread being sold at qd the 2lb loaf.
