THE PRICE OF FOOD, (7b the Editor of the Daily Times.) Sir, — In the leadinp article of your paper to-day, I yen .again allude to the high price of meat in this town. May I ask how it is that beef can be ohtahud fioru Wellington and other ports at b'cl. or 7d. a 11* 1 Purely it would pay to foim a Company, and h;we it direct from the above place per steamer. If cur G'lAtn.ment \vill not allow cattle to be landed fiom there, let tlum ha\e a flo;:tin£r slauphter place, fii'iu whfine ihty may be delivered*dre^ed, fit for the s-bcp r.s scon as landed. When I say a Company, 1 do not intend sonic tbieeor four persons, but aCooperati\e Ccmpany, fame ns stated in your i>aper v. fewoajsajro. If any were to start such a thing,— incluuitg broad, flour, \tc , &c, —I believe tin re would be n-.uv.y a working man wculd be glud to join. Hoping, jou will i,> r ain press upon the working man the itrcat saving it would be to us all, I remain, Sir, Yours truly, A Workman. Dunedin, Sept. 10, 150-2.
