CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor op the 'Evening Mail.' Sir — As soon as Parliament put au import duty on grain the bakers put an extra penny on the loaf of bread thus making seven pence instead of six pence as before. I don't know why it should contiuue so as the farmers get no more for their grain and millers charge no more for their flour. Then why is this extra penny on the loaf? If this continues we had better have a co-operative bakery where we can get our two pound loaf of 32 ounces instead of 30 ounces as mosfc of the loaves are now. But the latter fault lies afc the door of the City Council, who put me in mind of a turtle who lays her egg and buries it in the sand, and thinks no more about it; so with our City Fathers, they appoint an Inspector, who does nothing but draw his salary, lam, &c, Paterfamilias. Nelson February 10, 1880.
