PRODUCE IN AUSTRALIA.
INCREASED STORAGE WANTED

SYDNEY. Sept. 4
It is estimated that it will take two years to ship the cargo now held in Australia owing to the scarcity of tonnage. The Space Allotment Committee carried forward on July 31, 3,285,000 tons of wheat, 1,320,000 bales of wool, 50,000 tons of meat, 23,000 tons of rabbits, and 60.000 tons other produce.
The Shipping Controller states that no further shipping space is available for frozen meat. The amount which is stored in Australia at present represents more than the total annual pre-war export. In order to prevent paralysis in the beef and mutton trades the Controller urges the provision of more refrigerated space on land as well as the present storage.
