Smithfield market
The first small consignment of new season New Zealand lamb to the United Kingdom was well received on the Smithfield market last week, and commanded a premium on old season product, according to the' New Zealand Meat Producers Board in its. weekly market report. The New Zealand lamb trade generally improved on the wholesale market as prices for domestic lamb and beef continued to rise. On the Smithfield market, old season PL grade New
Zealand lamb was quoted at 62-64 p a lb. PM grade was not quoted. Imported beef prices in the United States remained in the doldrums, apart from some strengthening in the bull market. New Zealand boneless beef averaged USlO4c a lb c and f. There was again little movement in the Japanese mutton market. Small parcels of old season New Zealand MLI grade were offered at SUSSBc a lb, but attracted little interest. Australia was quieter than in recent weeks.
