Shortage Of Meat And Vegetables

GREAT NEW YEAR DEMAND

Shortage of meat and vegetables has been telt in the Colony in the past few days owing to inter- | ruption of shipments from Kwong- chowwan and Chungshan, the two main sources of supply, and the great demand during the coming Chinese New Year,

Two steamers which were ex- pected to bring large shipments of cattle, pigs and towl from Kwongchowwan to the Colony,

arrived, without a single item of live stock.

The authorities at Kwongchow wan have placed further restric

the tions on exports owing to 10cal demand. Supplies front Chungshan are also small due to difficultles in communication.

AVERAGE PRICES

The current average prices, per catty of various kinds of meat are as follows:

נק

Beef, 75 cents: pork, $1,05: mutton. 95 cents; chicken, $1.50 and ducks, 70 cents.

Thest. prices, although lower

than in the middle of 1940, are about 20 per cent, higher than the prices obtaining last week,

The normal dally consumption In the Colony is about 250 cattle

the

and 400 pigs which New

Territories could not furnish in

sumclent quantity.
