FROZEN BEEF SHIPMENTS DEMAND SLACKENS FOR STORE CATTLE [Per United Press Association.] HAMILTON, May 3. A serious shortage of boats suitable for conveying chilled and frozen beef to the British market is causing grave concern in the Waikato district, where large numbers of cattle are awaiting despatch as chillers. The position is causing uncertainty in the stock markets, where the demand has slackened for store cattle. The storage capacity in the freezing works in the Auckland province is severely taxed. The position is attributed to the, extra demands on shipping companies because of increased world trade and the slowness and cost of loading on the wharves in the Dominion in comparison with Australia.
