PRICE OF LAMB
"In December last (writes "State Control") the freezing companies operating in New Zealand paid .the' farmer 3Hd to 4d per lb for prime lambs. These lambs, according to the market reports at the latter part of January, were sold at 7%d to 8 1-Sd per lb, showing an enormous profit to the freezing' companies at Jthe expense of the farmer."' . : [Early in January,'"The Post" is informed, the price paid by freezing: companies was 4tfd, with up to s*d for extra quality lambs, but toe market ,siibsequently fell away. In any' case, the lamb which is reported as selling'at 7*4 d to 8 l-8d per pound .would be for a relatively small quantity of early lambs. The highest London prices for the first week in January were 7%d for 281b to 361b, and 7%d for 361b to 421b.]
