THE FROZEN MEAT TRADE.
{Per United Pbess Association.) Weixingtoit- May 13. In his address at Feilding Mr D. J. Nathan said that the very solvency of the colony I depended upon the success of the farmers. Australia and the Argentina had entered into the field of competition, and, in spite of our superior products, were displacing us in the i Home markets, while reCent papers to hand ishowed that tho very scheme he had propounded [ was being'urged on the farmers of Australia, | Ho pointed out that it was absurd to expect that j growers could get fair treatment or satisfactory ] | results under the present circumstances of the | market at Home, and as trade bad suffered so ] I disastrously it was imperative that something j i should be done. He referred to the strides j I other industries had made by combination ] 1 amongst those concerned in them, especially I i noting what had been done for the Indian and * Ceylon lea trade and t'jo Califoruian wine _ industry. The meat trade suffered, greatly ■ through so many financially weak freezing companies, with their heavy permanent charges, i being engaged in it, and added to which there * were far too many consignees. Other coantries j were .assisting iudn_trie_ iv a variety of ways, and if New Zealand did not mind she would be ! left lamenting her supiceuess. The flax in- . destry had been allowed to die for want of a little timely assistance from the State, and it was necessary tbat they tbould be stirring if the meat trade waa not to share a similar fate.
