New finding in the Late Market Price Board file; a wider question remains (Year fifth, late winter window 1)

The latest confirmed development in the late market price board is that a second office compares arrival, service and publication times. The update comes from the covered market at South Arch; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.

Adrian Veil, market correspondent, confirmed 33 prices with a weight and measure method shown in the file. The previous window recorded 39; the totals do not settle how a buyer compares a price posted under a different scale.

The unresolved point is specific: Sellers say the late scale is certified. Buyers ask for both methods on the same board. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.

Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.

NEXT UPDATE: The Year fifth, late winter window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The market office will post a paired scale comparison for one review window. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
