The price of the illb loaf in Auckland is higher than in the other chief cities of the colony, and much more so than iu Australia, whoro wheat is 3s

(»! ami ."n 7d pei' bushel and Hour £S 10s Ici' ton. We ilo i:.it think the combination will cU'ecl if.s evil ptirposo, and those bakers who prefer a legitimate and honest trade. for cisli with refundable profits, will not want for support. The price of bread is altogether unjustifiable, luifc if bakers will give indiscriminate credit to make good customers pay for the bad ones, then we can only advise all housewives to purchase their llour in il'iantitios and make their lire al. The plan will be found more wholesjme and will cause an immense saving in the domestic expenditure.
