MARKET IN GLASGOW.

NEW ZEALAND MEAT IN DEMAND LARGER SUPPLIES NEEDED. (United Press Association —Copyright.) (Received This Day, 9.55 a.in.) LONDON, November 20. While the ladies of the party enjoyed the beauties of the Art Gallery, Mr J. H. Scullin (Prime Minister of Australia) and Mr J. Brennan (Australian Attorney-General), braved pouring rain and toured the Glasgow fruit markets. They saw the colour scheme of Canadian and Californian labels as a hint to Australia r to improve her drab methods. There is not a case of Australian fruit visible, but as an object lesson there was a perfect sample of Californian grapes, packed in corkdust. Merchants pleaded for direct shipments of apples from Australia.. All’ Scullin promised an immediate investigation. Butter traders revealed a local prejudice in favour of pale butter, but admitted that the yellowness of the Australian product was wrongly regarded as a sign of rancidness. Alembers of the Royal Exchange gave Mr Scullin a rousing welcome and cheered to the echo his assurance that .Australia would pot he found wanting at any due date. Meanwhile, Air G W. Forbes among the wholesale butchers learned that there was nothing wrong with New Zealand meat, except that they couici not get enough of it. The Dominions’ representatives were given a civic luncheon at the City Hall. Air Scullin and Air Forbes agreed to consider using Glasgow more greatly as a distributing centre.
