BRITISH TRADE
COLONIAL CONSIGNMENT COMPANY'S REPORT. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 13. The Colonial Consignment Company's annual report states that, no developments indicate that the world's supply has overtaken the demand under normal conditions, but the acutest depression is usually experienced after a war. Large Government orders have absorbed stocks, but the retail meat trade is Britain is not, prosperous. Large numbers cf shops have closed, and a majority of the remainder have much curtailed their output. The trade must be rewon when contracts lapse. The French Government's heavy purchases are likely to create a freer market, and Australian meat will probably be relieved of the differential duty now existing in favour of Argentina.
