Not so with butchers. The retail price of meat remained precisely the same when fat bollocks went down fifty per cent, m value. With all the competition amongst butchers, and meat hawkers, meat is at least fifty per cent;; dearer than it ought tpbe. The Marton paper contradicts, on the authority of Mr C. Gascoigne, the rumour that his child had been' attacked with diphtheria.
