THE MEAT TRADE.

LAMB FOR ENGLISH CHRISTMAS. The London manager of the New Zealand Meat Producer*' Board has received hundreds of complimentary letters from recipients of carcases of New Zealand lamb distributed by the board at Christmas time on behalf of friends in New Zealand. A typical letter was one received from Wicklow, which reads as follows:—"I now take the pleasure of saying I received the lamb on Christmas Eve, and it was really lovely—much nicer than our Home lambs. We shared it with a dozen people, and we heard nothing'but praise about it. It was wonderful 'being so nice to have come so far." South American Exports.
