PRODUCE EXPORTS. A leaflet published by the Agricultural Department shows that the exports of certain produce for the month of Juno were as follows: —Butter, 11,715 cwt, value £54,175; cheese 5875 cwt, value £13,612; frozen beef, 19,823 cwt, value £24,016; carcase mutton, 67,345 cwt, value £72,301; piece mutton, 4965 cwt, value £5120; lamb, 58,852 cwt, value £BB 702. The total valu© of dairy produce exported was £67,787, as against £42,262 for the corresponding month of 1900. The value of dairy produce exported for the last four months is £220,082, as against £160,518 for the corresponding period of 1900. The meat exports, however, do not compare so favourably. Comparing June i 1901, with June of the previous year, the value of beef exported has fallen from £31,931 to £24,016, carcase mutton from £115,434 to £72 301, piece mutton from £12,017 to £5120, and lamb from £117,« 440 to £88,702, making a total decrease in meat of £86,863. Comparing the total of the four months ending June 30th, 1901, with the corresponding period of 1900, we find that lamb is the only meat the export of which has increased. The totals for all classes of meat for the four-monthly periods show a decrease of £55,782.
