BRITAIN’S BEEF TRADE.
The Veterinary Officer of the Australian Department of Commerce in London, Mr R. P. Allen, believes that beef exporters may have to face heavier competition from home-produc-ed beef on the English market in the 1939-40 winter. He estimates that home producers wili market 400.000 cwt more beef than they do at present. He bases his figures on a statistical return which shows-that since last year there has been an increase of 90,000 in the number of cattle under one year in Britain. He says that the probabilities are that not more than a quarter of these are heifer calves for dairy purposes.
