When the ship's derricks began loading butter, cheese and meat into the steamer Mahia last week it was the first occasion on which an overseas vessel had loaded at New Plymouth for fully three weeks. As a result there had been extreme congestion in freezing stores, particularly as regards meat. Despite the fact that the Mahia loaded 20,000 carcases and another vessel arrived on Saturday. Messrs. Thomas Borthwick and Sons' Waitara works were so. full that a large quantity of meat had to be railed to New Plymouth for storage at the Taranaki Producers' Freezing Company's stores at Moturoa.
