Mr J. H. Greddes, managing director of the Pastoral Finance Association of New South Wales, has supplied tbe London correspondent of The Argus with some interesting information respecting his efforts to establish a trade in frozen meat with the Continental nations. Mr Geddes first visited Germany, where he learned from the commissary-general of the German army that refrigerating depots have been already established at Metz and Strasburg, and that other large garrison towns will be similarly accommodated. Military authorities admitted the advantage of having a supplementary supply from Australia. At Hamburg the project was so well received that several sites suitable for the erection of refrigerating stores were inspected. At Brussels Mr Geddeß was assured by the authorities that consignments of Australian produce might be stored in Antwerp and forwarded to their destination in Germany or France under bond, thus escaping the Belgian duties. In France Mr Geddes was well received by General de Lambre, president of the special commission for provisioning the French army, who was much takep with the project laid before him for provisioning the garrisons of Verdun, Lille, and other fortified centres. The directors of tbe Messageriea • Maritime Company were next interviewed, with the object of inducing them to establish insulated chambers in their steamers. The president of tbe company remarked that they had already considered the project, but; could not incur tbe great expense of constructing insulated chambers in their Bteamer6 unless tbe company had a definite prospect of securing an advantageous trade. A similar interview was held with the chairman of the North Gerixan Lloyds Company at Bremen, and a consideration of the proposal was promised.
