NEW ZEALAND PRODUCE IN LONDON. Wellington, January 6.
Mr Cameron, the New Zealand produce commissioner in London, reporting under date 26th November, says that the market for all kinds of New Zealand produce continues greatly depressed, and prices all round have receded. A number of c&rcases from New Zealand have been very dull and stale in appearance, and Mr Cameron suggests, in order to avoid the inference that they have been kept in the colony for som.e time, that the various refrigerating companies should mark on a tag attached to each sheep the date ou which it was slaughtered, A good number of the sheep lately coming forward have been of very inferior quality. The blame of this is certainly to be attributed to shippers who hava cent sheep away geeatly lacking in finish. The report of the health officer ol the port of London shows that between January and June seven vessels arrived from Now Zealand on which were eondemn«d, as unfit for food, 223 carcases of mutton, 172 legs of mutton, 15 cases of sheeo'u kidavsp, and l^evvt of cheese.
