NEW ZEALAND PRODUCE AT HOME.

WEST OF ENGLAND MARKETS. [Br TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Thursday. The general manager of the Bristol and Dominions Producers'' Association, Ltd., Mr. H. G. Hill, has received the following cable from the head office, Bristol: — " Lambs' and sheep's wool, good prospects Liverpool; market prices for all produce firm." Ho also received a letter, reading as follows—'' We are sending you by this mail a photograph of our Cardiff depot. This was opened on September 18 in order to facilitate tin distribution of frozen meat throughout South Wales. We found that existing channels and buying capacities for this area were unsuitable, and decided to open our own depot, which we are pleased to say has been attended by £jreat success. This depot also controls a depot at Newport, Monmouthshire, which distributes New Zealand meat throughout t,\;is country. It is controlled by. our own staff, and we sell direct to the retail trade, also to the smaller wholesale buyers, and it has had the result of introducing New Zealand lamb and mutton particularly to many hundreds of butchers in these districts who heretofore did not handle New Zealand meat. This trade is increasing, and it materially assists in the effect of securing a regular output for our meat." y
