Correspondence on Chaff Prices and Freight in Western Australia
A reader questions the July price of chaff noted as 9 pounds 17 shillings 6 pence for Jennacubbine truck load and compares it with Northam sales around 10 pounds per ton. He wonders if freight from Perth affects the cost and notes alleged higher bread prices in Australia than in Britain, seeking clarity on pricing and transport. The letter highlights local rail mileage between Jennacubbine, Northam, and Perth and asks whether chaff profits are tied to truck loads or per ton pricing.
