LONDON MEAT TRADE.

TRANSIT REFORMS SOUGHT. LONDON, January 18. The Cold Storage and Ice Association has summoned a conference, including representatives of the Australian and New Zealand Governments, to consider the shortcomings of transit facilities in Britain, such as the inefficiency of refrigerators, a cause whereby considerable damage and loss have been caused to foodstuffs in transit. A committee was appointed to consider hygienic reforms, defects in railway transit, and alternative means of food transport. It was stated that Britain had a great deal to learn from the Dominions and America in handling meat at the docks, in cold storage, in transit on the railways, and in cartage from the markets to shops.
