CO-OPERATIVE CANNERIES. STATE AID IN VICTORIA. [from our own correspondent.l SYDNEY. Nov. 5. Criticism has been directed at the Victorian Ministry in the past for its policy of aiding the co-operativo canneries, both by advances and by guarantees. But the Government lias had tho good fortune to find that the Rhepparton Co-opera-tive Cannery lias not only repaid the cutstanding advance of £47,000, but has released the Treasury from its guarantee to (lie bank in respect to the trading account of the company, to the extent of more than £250,000. It is an effective answer to the critics who contended that the Government, in giving further advances, was merely throwing away good money after bad. Even the Treasurer himself has had to admit that, despite official optimism as to the eventual success of the canneries, on more than one occasion he has had very serious doubts whether the Government would ever recover all the money advanced. Success has now been achieved by the Shepparton cannery, and the people of the district are showing their increased confidence in the undertaking by taking up additional shares. v During the last two seasons the cooperative canneries have suffered heavily as a result of keen competition in the overseas market by American concerns. Prospects are now much brighter. This year's output is estimated at 800,000 dozen tins.
AUSTRALIAN MEAT PROBLEMS. DIFFICULTIES TO BE FACED. Tlip. president of the Australian Graziers' Association. Mr. F. 11. Tout, in referring to a proposed conference between the Commonwealth Minister for Markets and all sections of the meat industry, said lie felt sure that.such a conference would prove helpful. " Our meat industry is experiencing many difficulties," Mr. Tout continued. "In fact, from the producers' viewpoint, it has been unsatisfactory for years. Mutton prices have heen unprofitably low, and even lamb has not been soiling nearly as well as we desire. Altogether, it is a problem that has Worried us for a long time, and we have not- yet arrived at a solution. Many factors come into it, and probably by getting together we can deal satisfactorily with at least some of them.
In the local trade ,the;e is 100 great a disparity between the* price paid for the fat stock and the prices charged to the consumer. Just what is wrong here is a matter of divergent opinion, but the producer feels that there is something very wrong; meantime, both producers and the consumers suffer. The export trade has its special problems; all I would say here is that our meat is not doing nearly as well in the British markets as we could wish. To achiovo satisfactory results probably means more thorough organisation, both itf' Australia and in Britain."
