FROZEN MEAT TRADE.

PROPOSED ABOLITION Ofr RE- . STRICTIONS. ,

United Press .Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright. (Received September 19th, 4.40 p.m.) LONDON, September 19. Mr Coghlan, the New South Wales Agent-General, will submit to tho Cold Storage Congress at Paris a resolution expressing the opinion that in order to reduce the cost of living to workers and promote international trade, the regulations hampering the introduction of frozen and chilled proproduce, and the storage and distribution and sale of produce in any country, should be modified or abolished.

According to tho Board of Trade's report on tho comparative cost of living in England and Germany, the price of beef in Germany (where gthero are restrictions on coid storage, trade).was 7Jd to against 62d in. Enigland. The prices of mutton were 72d.t0 9!d in Germany, and 6gd in England; and of pork, B_d to lid in Germany, and 7}d to Bjd in Engk_nd. There is said to be little demand for mu*ttoa in Germany. Mutton, in fact, seems to be somewhat despised in Germany, and very li'ttlo is consumed by any class of the population. The German also cats much leas -beef, but more pork, than tho Englishman. It is also the custom in Germany to sell meat free from bone- and fat.
