AMERICAN MEAT TRUST

QUIETLY AT WORK. BT TELEGRAPH —PER PH.ESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, April 21. Those interested in tlie meat trade in New Zealand are keenly watching certa.. operations that are quietly going on i present with a view to deciding as to whether an American trust is endeavouring to secure a footing in the Dominion. In confirm;|tion of this theory, : t is noted that a New ZeaJand business man at. present in England on ...n exten.n u visit wrote by the last mail to friends in Auckland to the effect that he might have to return much sooner than he anticipated as his firm was meeting with oppojicion owing to a well-known Chicago meat nun having started throughout New /ealand

These Americans went to work very quietly and starte 1 by acquiring a Cart:-i'-bury meat business, and since then, it is said, they have extended their nperatu.li: to other parts of the Dominion. . It will be interesting, in view of these indications, to note if in the n--;i' t'U'inihe cooperative meat compan'-ei .in New Zealand have any difficulty in seeming sufficient space for shipments to Canada and America.
