The present price of pork is about $1 per catty, A few weeks ago, the price soared to $1.60 per catty, Be fore the Sino-Japanese war, it was about 40 cents.
Problem Of Fish Hongkong's daily consumption of fish, both of the freshwater and salt- water varieties, is, on an average, 250 piculs. The average price per catty at this time is about 35 cents, which is practically, three times above the average price prevailing before the Sino-Japanese war, und double the price at this time last

suffered to a tremendous extent as a result of Japanese activities. Tho greater part of the fishing fleet has been destroyed, and those fishermen who still maintain their livelihood face immense dificulties.
Not only has this source of supply been reduced, but supplies of fresh water fish from Canton, Kongmoon and other districts are also now quite Imited. Fish supplied from these areas werd formerly shipped direct to Hongkong, but the closure of ship- ping routes has made it necessary for supplies to be first sent to Macao, where they are: re-shipped to this Colony, thus increasing, the ultimate cost to the consumer.;
