FROZEN MEAT MARKET.
The Bank of New Zealand Produce Department has received the following advice from its London Office as at close of business this week:—"There is a better demand for first-grade lightweight •wethers. The market for ewes is depressed owing to absence of demand. The market is over-supplied with lambs and is rather unsteady, but no material change is expected in the near future. The market for beef has declined and demand is poor. Wethers, light 3d to 4Ud per lb heavy 2%d to 3d; ewes, 2d to 2%d; lambs 2's 5%d to 6d, B's s^d to 5%d, 4's 5V4d to 5%d, seconds 5d to 5%d; ox, hinds 3%d to 3%d, forea 2%d to 2%d; cow, hinds 3d to 3%d, fores 2d to 2Wd." Messrs.
