FAT LAMB TRADE.
POSITION IN THE SOUTH,
(Ky Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) DUNEDIN, Friday. Tempted by higher prices offering at Canterbury Freezing Works large consignments of fat lambs from Southland have-gone thither this season. It is estimated that fully 20,000 have left the Winton district for Pareora and during (/he past week one consignment of seventeen trucks, which would represent over 1100 head, went through in addition to other consignments to other Canterbury works. Throughout New Zealand generally, and the South Island in particular, the* season has been so backward and late that lambs have grown instead of fattening. Consequently, they are bigger than usual and the backwardness of the season has shortened the supply for refrigerating works. The Burnside Works are being kept busy on an output somewhat less than, that.' of laet year, but some other refrigerating.establishments further south are reported to be merely carrying 'on. '
