FROZEN MEAT TRADE.
PROPOSED GERMAN TARIFF. BERLIN, February I*. According to the "Berliner Tageblatt," [the Food Department contemplates the abolition of -the free import quota of frozen m?at, and the substitution of a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem, and also the raising of the duty on wheat to six marks per double hundredweight. Very little of New Zealand's frozen meat finds its way "to Germany, which imported in 1926, 123,457 tons. This, however, represents only four per cent of Germany's total meat consumption. The new proposal is likely to meet, with considerable opposition, for the German workers, like other industrial peoples, are becoming bigger beef eaters, andj frozen meat at lower prices than hame-killed is filling a new demand.
