MEAT AND BUTTER
BIG SHIPMENT FOR ENGLAND
“Dominion” Special.
Auckland, February 11.
A very large shipment of meat and butter will be loaded in New Zealand for England by the Shaw-Savill and Albion steamer Gallic, which is now berthed at Queen’s Wharf. In addition to Auckland, cargo will be loaded at Gisborne, Napier, Wanganui, and Wellington. All the holds are insulated for the carriage of refrigerated cargo. Most of the space will be taken up by meat, of which 135,000 freight carcases (each 601 b. in weight) will be carried. Very little butter will be loaded, the amount being 13,500 boxes from Auckland, and 2500 boxes from Gisborne. The ship will be dispatched from Wellington for London on March 4. , Last season the Gallic took a large shipment of meat to Genoa and London. In December, 1920, she was dispatched from Auckland for London with 135,608 boxes of butter and 38,603 freight carcases of meat. It was the largest amount of butter that has been shipped from New Zealand in one vessel.
