HIGH PRICES AND HOUSEKEEPING.

SIR—I have read with great interest your article on "The High Prices of Food " in the Spectator of July 7th. Although I have not to provide for a large family, I feel a sensible increase in my weekly expenditure, and I should be very glad if you would inform me, where I can procure beef and pork, "at prices ranging from 3d. to 4d. per Pound." I shall certainly give this American meat that you speak of a trial, and I ant sure, if you will furnish me with particulars, many of my friends will be only too glad to follow my example. I remain Sir, your obedient servant, A HOUSEKEEPER.
