THE PRICE OF MEAT.
[ro TJBK ipiTM.] Sir,—l cannot let your leaderette of Saturday, referring to tho price of meat, go unchallenged. Yoii do the butchers of Masterlon an injustice, in quoting booking prices for meat-. You are evidently accustomed to this kind of trade, or you wpulfl jjpt JI6TO quqtod tiio prices you do, }ly pricps for meat, for the last six months, have been, 2|d for beef, and for mutton, up to 4d for primfc My beef and mutton are grown principally by Mr Holmes, pi jMatyhiwi, to ivlipm I par wish, and I offer overy inducement to my customers to deal with mysolf in a similar way. I am unable to purchase my beef at 2d per lb, and I think I can get it as cheap as anyono, What I think you entirely | overlook, is tho question of quality, and thin 'has overytlpg tfi do yifh thp price at which good whtjlosonio meat can bo pi'ojltably sold,—film, otc. .
