London, April 14, The Agents-General of the various colonies will submit evidence to the select committee appointed in connection with the Imported Agricultural Produce Marks Bill, with a view of refuting Mr. Digby's assertions regarding Australian meat. Sydney, April 15. The steamer Cornwall has sailed for London with 84,614 carcases of mutton and a large consignment of joints of mutton and beef. This constitutes the record shipment of meat from Sydney. Melboornk, April 15, The Minister of Agriculture has cabled to the Agent-General to give an absolute contradiction to the statements that Australian frozen meat is of inferior quality and of small value as food.

A reply has been received that arrangements will be made to hold a conference in Sydney at the earliest available opportunity.
