THE PRICE OF LAMB
GOOD REPORT FROM SMITHFIELD OPENING AT 8d A POUND. (Special to the “ Guardian.”) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Encouraging news for New Zealand farmers is contained in a cable message which the Acting-Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates) received from Mr Dayid Jones (chairman of the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board) on the eve of the latter’s departure from England last week-end. Mr Jones advised: . “The Ottawa meat agreement has definitely 7 improved meat prices and I am confident that mutton, lamb, bacon and pork will realise satisfactory prices next season.
“New season’s lamb should open at 8d at Smithfield.
“Consider you could safely advise farmers that the British Government’s bacon marketing scheino and reductions of foreign supplies of bacon will improve our bacon and pork prices and encourage dairy farmers taking advantage of it. “Cheese market is still very weak, but butter strong. Supplies not too much till new season’s comes. Australian July and August butter shipments one-tliird of last year.
“Stopping beef shipments has improved prices here, and' action is much appreciated by Government.”
