HIGH PRICES
NEW ZEALAND VEGETABLES IN SYDNEY FURTHER CONSIGNMENTS LIKELY. EGGS ALSO VERY SCARCE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A consignment of cabbages, peas and beans, brought from New Zealand in the Awatea was sold at the markets yesterday. Prices for cabbages reached 21s a dozen. Choice peas and beans realised 24s a bushel. If the local scarcity continues, it is likely that further larger importations will be made.
The rationing of egg supplies in New South Wales by fifty per cent has become necessary because of the recen heat wave and bush fires, in which between 200,000 and 300,000 fowls died.
