CHINESE PORK.
By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyright. London, October 8. The shipment of 1182 Chinese pigs which arrived in London on August 2 has been inspected in London, with the result that 9 per cent, were condemned, mainly on account of tuberculosis.
Considerable stir has been caused in the produce market by the arrival of the frozen produce from China (writes our London correspondent under date of September 3). The refrigerated arrivals in London -were: 46bi pig carcases, 1345 deer carcases, 12 beef quarters, 21,048 cases of eggs (frozen in tins), 10,674 cases of game (comprising wild geese, wild ducks, widgeon, teal, snipe, and pheasants), and 8118 cases of : poultry. Butchers in the Central market report very favourably concerning the pigs. At a time, when 54d to 6d has been made by English pigs, 4£d to 5d has been realised by the Chinese carcases. Pork is a meat which stands freezing better than beef or mutton, owing to its drier character. An examination of a most rigorous description is to bo made.
