The "Financial Times" dovotee some space to a summary of the second annual report of the New Zealand Meat Producers' Board. The details given will be widely read, for attention is drawn to many points of interest and importance. One is the notification that the Board haa been cooperating with the High Commissioner m the matter" of bringing pressure to bear on the present Labour Government in order to get them to insist upon the stocks of refrigerated meat held in cold stores being published monthly, as is done in America and elsewhere. It has been further pointed out that every meat-producing country in the world publishes statements as to the shipments made to various countries, and that in the United States for some considerable time past statistics have been collected and published of the stocks in cold store, but that as far as Great Britain is concerned, as soon as meat arrives and ia stored, information regarding it ia no longer available. The Board, through its London office, is still pressing for the moat favourable terms poesible in the matter of preference to the Dominions in regard to "War Office contracts. Representations were also made to the War Office with a view to more time being given before the closing date of tenders, for meat, to enable copies of the conditions to reach New Zealand by mail. However after full consideration, the War Office regretted that it could not extend the time for frozen, meat tenders beyond one month, but arrangements have been made for a standard form of tender to be available at the Board's office at the London end, and any alterations which may be made in the specifications for future contracts will be notified when tenders are being advertised. Some remarkable figures are given in the annual report of Mr H. "W. G-. Millmaa, the clerk and superintendent of the London Central Markets. He states that 470,401 tons of meat were delivered there last year—the largest supply on record. Of that quantity oiSy 93,075 tons were British, the remainder coming from the overseas Dominions or foreign countries. Th§_ value was approximately £35,000,000, and it represented 80U,000 bullocks, 5,500,000 sheep ana lambs, and 900,000 pigs. The meat handled at the markets would suffice for a weekly ration of 37 ounces per head for the entire population of London, taking it roughly at eight millions. The receipts from rents and tolls last year were £202,972.
