THE MEAT TRUST.

OPERATIONS IN NEW SOUTH WALES. TRADE CIRCLES EXCITED. By Cable. —Press Associati»n. —Copyright. (Received June 17, 12.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 17. The Premier has reported the result of the investigations into the alleged operations of the Meat Trust in New South Wales. It is unknown whether the trust is operating extensively in Sydney, but the fact remains that a considerable portion of the output of meat is being purchased by certain firms whose names are usually associated with the alleged American Meat Trust. Very few Queensland cattle are coming forward. Excitement and uncertainty exists in trade circles, which are due to a large extent to the fact that American firms are becoming keen competitors for* the purchase of New South Wales meat.
