FROZEN MEAT TRADE.
SHORTAGE OF SHIPPING. (l*er Press Association.) WELLINGTON, last night. The Government has received cabled advice to the effect that the Federal Shire steamer Suffolk will not be returning to New Zealand' to Ipad cargo as was expected. The insulated cargo space on the Suffolk is equivalent to 120,000 carcases. The Suffolk was to load here m March next. It is hoped that arrangements may be made for the Suffolk to adhere to her original loading dates m New Zealand, arid correspondence is passing with that end m view. If the Suffolk is withdrawn it will mean the elimination from the quantity of insulated tonnage of about 310,000 freight carcase space, .taking into account the loss of tne Tokomaru and tho fire on the Nairnshire, which will prevent her returning to this country m time to be of service. These two steamers between them would carry about 190,000 carcases, and they would be due here m May m the ordinary course.
