In a statement on Saturday, the Min - ister said Dunedin master butchers will have to return to the rates ruling before September 1. Christchurch prices were increased on August 31, but since then there has been a further market rise. The Minister hinted that steps would be taken to control prices at stock auctions. The Addington rates at present were the highest in the Dominion because of an abnormal shortage of mutton and beef, but it has been stated that this can partly be overcome by release of surplus expoi t mutton.
