FROZEN PORK.

NEW ZEAXAND PREFERRED. TRADE WITH EXG-liAND. By the last mail the New Zealand JMeat Producers' Board received a letter 'from its London manager in respect to the shipment of pork. An extract from this letter is as follows:— , "While in Bristol a few weeks ago, I called on Messrs. E. Miles and Co., and had a long talk with their managing . director, who is largely interested in the matter of the 'bacon trade, having; several factories in the West of England. The manager of this firm is loud in his praise "of the quality of New Zea- | land frozen pigs which he has handled for many years past, but he 13 very disappointed that he cannot obtain regular supplies all the year round. I explained to him that it was a seasonable trade in New Zealand, but he pointed out that in England pigs were fattened all the year round. He prefers the New Zealand pigs to any other imported pork, and stated that we are very much ahead of the American quality. He states that he could take up to 2000 pigs a. month all the year round provided the price was satisfactory and regular shipments could be obtained, etc. "I also called on the manager of 3lessrß. Spier Bros, and Clarke, also I large provision merchants and bacon : curers. He, also, expresses himself as particularly pleased with the quality of New Zealand frozen pork, but com- J plained also of the want of regular shipments. He was anxious to get into direct touch with the New Zealand suppliers of pork, and I was able to give him the names of several firms who would be in a position to quote him."
