THE MEAT TRADE
A NOTE OF OPTIMISM TREND OF BRITISH MARKET (Per United Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, December 13. A note of optimism regarding the meat trade was struck by Mr D. Jones, chairmau of the Meat Board, in an address at the official luncheon at the Southland Summer Show to-day. Speaking of the Ottawa agreement he said the average New Zealand farmer did not realise the enormous effect of the reduction imposed on imports into Britain from the Argentine. It meant that the Argentine would this year send 2,000,000 fewer lambs and 600,000 fewer quarters of beef. Had the Ottawa agreement not been brought into effect the meat trade of the world would have been demoralised. Referring to the trend of the Home market, Mr Jones said that the 9,000,000 lambs sent by New Zealand to England last year had been consumed in 11 months. Statistically the lamb trade now looked bright, and he considered that the demand would equal the production. The British buyer was in a better position, and the effects of returning confidence . were evident.
