PATRIOTIC HEMP.
A RECORD PRICE. In connection with ibis week’s Patriotic Carnival, a number of millers in the district gave quantities of hemp, the quantity received amounting to seven bales. Various methods of disposing of the hemp were suggested, and eventually the Committee decided to invite the merchants dealing in hemp in this district, Messrs Levin and Co., Ltd., A. S. Paterson and Co., Ltd., and Win. "Wood and Co., Ltd., to submit oilers for the line. Although .all three firms had already donated £25 each to the Carnival Fund, the offers received were above the ruling market price. The successful bidder was the firm of A. K Paterson and Co., Ltd., who made an offer of £7O pel’ ton for the line, this price being at least £ls or £lO per ton a- ' bovc the ruling market price. The line of seven bales will thus swell the Carnival receipts bv roughly £95. -. ■ ■.. -i.;ii .. G ■ ; A .viArv
