TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— I noticed a letter in your iisne of Saturday last under the above beading. The writer, Mr J. J. Bagnall, is no doubt quite justified in hii belief that there is cometbing radically wrong in the manner ia which our produce is disposed of in London. In the colony we appear to be pretty nntnimoue ia the belief that we can grow good mutton, and need not tear any foreign competition whatever—provided we get fair play. At the present time we do not appear to be getting fair play. If I understand Mr Bagnall's letter, be can point out the came of tbie unsatisfactory state of affairs, and also has a remedy to suggest. I hope that this matter will be taken up by ail who are interested in it through* out the district, and that the proposed meeting, under Mr Lethbridge's auspieee, will be largely attended. Awaiting further developments with interest. I im, etc., Edward 0. Havthorne.
