Th ( > meat rradp thinks rh:ii the m<-i«-(‘i of the Angliss beef exporting inilerpu! into that of Vostov’s moans than Australia, will soon be eliQllonging th.- Argentino’s <-hillo<| beef supremacy, ;ji(l anticipates regular large shipments wil hin two years. Tin* trade also aihticipates that in proportion a-s Australian beef is exported in a chilled condition, the quantity of frozen be’d' exported will decline correspondingly. ji is pointed out lhaj the position ■which ha s thus arisen is one that has not been foreseen, and is not provided for in the Ottawa or A agio-Argent ine agreements. The Argentine will nor submit quietly while the field is invaded, and it may if an Australian threat d< velops, protest to Britain, seeking the protection of its trea’y rights by restriction on Dominion shipments. Tt is believed tha’t the Vestey Heel will now soon operate in Australian wafers, possibly involving regular direct shipments from tlie Angliss and Rorkhanipton meat works.
