Boned beef exports for the 1929-30 season totalled 54,585; for the 1928-29 season. 68,26S bags. LOSS OF AMERICAN TRADE. ; The returns show that the considerable j trade done with the United States last year has almost disappeared. For the 1928-29 period the exports to the United States (assuming-the meat was all landed there) amounted to 44,262 quarters of beef, 5597 carcasses mutton, and 40,287 lambs. This season the exports are a bagatelle by comparison, viz., 2411 quarters beef, 2000 carcasses mutton, and 8004 lambs. Moreover, it is not certain that this meat was definitely landed in the United States, being shipped on optional bill of lading.
