FROZEN MEAT TRADE.
Sir, — In your leading article in Friday's issue on the frozen meat trade you fail to point out that- the. chief reason \vhy the net return is not better to theslieepfarnier. is that the freight and other chargesare so high. With the- moat selling inLqndon at 4|cV to 4Jd', and the freight and charges amounting to 3Jd, it is easy to see that there cannot be much .left for, the farmer. The high' rate of freight is mainly owing to a, compact made between the Shaw Savill Company and. the 'Ha'slem, Company, concerning which I notice that Mr John .Roberts, at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Refrigerating Company, made use of some very forcible language. Can you or any of your cor res : - pondonts tell us any thins alront tliis compact, and how long it is likely to last?— l am, &c, • ■ ' . A SIIEBPFARMEIL
