THE MEAT POOL.

A BIIX KEXT WEEK. EFFKCT OF NEUOTIATIOX?. (By TelPgrnpli.—rarllamcntary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Friday. Replying to Mr. J, "idie in the House of Representativea to-day, Mr. Masse.** said that recent improvements in the meat market were undoubtedly due to the operai/ionfl of the meat pool. Legislation was being prepared in connection with respect to the pool and would be brought down before this session closed. He did not expect the session to last more than ten days. Replying to Mr. Nasli, Mr. Massey said he hod soph the cable relaVllg to President Harding's advice.to farmers to go in for co-operative marketing of produce. This he thought was a compliment to Xew Zealand, because Mr. Harding was evidently asking the farmers of America to adopt method> similar to our pool. The Prime Minister mentioned later '•hat he had received a cablegram from the High Commissioner reporting that the storage charge on frozen meat at Liverpool had hen reduced by 2d per ton per morith, from January 1. Every reduction of this kind was important to the Dominion at present. Mr. Wilford: Liverpool is bidding for business. Mr. Massey agreed thai) this was the rase. The communications that Liverpool. Manchester, and Bristol had ex--changed with New Zealand hacLbeen published in Britain. He believ,*! that the reduction was attributable to the organisation thai' was being formed m this country.
