THE FROZEN MEAT TRADE.
TO THB KDITOB OV THB 7BBSS. Sib,—The foUowing extract from a letter just received from Mr Cunningham may prove of interest to your readers. It does, however, seem extraordinary that if our frozen mutton is equal to that of EngUsh sheep, for which lOd per lb is paid by the carcase, it' Bhould not bring more than recent quotations. We trust this seeming inconsistency may, partially at least, be rectified as our meat becomes better known and its sale more widely diffused throughout the United Kingdom.— w Kindly thank Mr Duncan Cameron, of for the sheep he sent to mc per s.s. Doric. I had about half of it cooked and. served at the Langham Hotel (where I am new staying), and the quaUty of the mutton was equal to anything that I have tasted at the Langham. It was so good that the cook asked mc to give him a quarter of the sheep, which I did. His report was very 'satisfactory. The general opinion was that it was quite equal to mutton which they usually pay lOd per lb for by the carcase." Yours, Ac,, Ono. G. Stbad.
