LAMB PRISES ADVANCED
[Special to the ‘Star.’] . CHRTSTCniTRCH, March 33. The* meat freezing companies have advanced their prices for woolly lambs by id n lb. but the rates for wether and"ewe mutton are unaffected. Producers will bail with satisfaction the alteration, which restores rates for lamb to the level they were at in the beginning of February, when the market was disturbed by two successive drops. Freezing companies have made, the latest readjustment, however, with mixed feelings. The reason for this is that some set the prices and some have prices thrust upon them. “There is not the slightest justification for the vise,” said ono man today, “ for rates have declined in London; and on sales made of Canterbury lamb, which now has begun to arrive in London, there has been no profit for ns. The now rate for first quality lamb to •'Kilb is 9Jd a. lb; from .171 b to 421 b it is RJd; from 431 b to 501 b, and over oOlb, 7d. For second quality to 3Glh it is SJd, and for over 361 b 7d.
