BUTCHERS CONCERNED
HIGH MARKET RATEB APPROACH THE GOVERNMENT (By Telegraph.—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Monday.. Christchurch butchers, concerned over the high fat stock prices ruling at the Addington market and prevented from increasing their prices by the emergency regulations, will make representations to the Minister oif Supply, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan. In a statement on Saturday the Minister said the Dunedin master butchers would 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. Addington rates are at present the highest in the Dominion, because of the abnormal shortage of mutton and beef, but it has been stated that this can partly be overcome by the release of surplus export mutton.
