The following interesting extracts ar«‘ taken from a letter just received by the New Zealand Afeat Producers’ - Board, from its chairman (Mr D. Jones), who is at present in London: —“I find the general opinion amongst the men who are handling our meat is that it is arriving j>n the market in much better condition than prexiously. There is no doubt that the work that has been done at New Zealand purls, together with the inspection that is carried on in London, has assisted materially in putting our meat on the market in much better condition. Our meat in Great Britain has a wonderfully good name. I have never seen

Australian ami Argentine meat advertised as such in the shops, but there are few butchers’ windows but what are advertising New' Zealaml and Canterbury lamb. The supplies of meat on the market have been well regulated, things could not have been better arranged. 'The agents who are doing a commission trade consider that the regulation of supplies on the Lomlon market is a verv great factor in keeping a steady range of prices.”
