BEEF RESTRICTIONS
SHIPMENTS TO GREAT BRITAIN. N.Z. GOVERNMENT BLAMED. (Per United Press Association.) Stratford, November 7. A letter blaming the New Zealand Government for the restriction on beef exports to Great Britain was received by a Stratford meat exporter from one of the largest English meat importers. Dealing with the contracts entered into with the recipient, the letter states: “The contracts are out of date so far as the shipment is concerned, but I hope no trouble will arise with buyers here on this account, as they have been informed that the delay in shipment was entirely due to the action of the New Zealand Government. You will appreciate that, having entered into a contract for shipment at a stated period, the buyer is not compelled to take goods, owing to interference by the New Zealand Government, of a shipment contracted for, and the buyer has the right of cancellation if he desires to exercise it.”
The communication, which was dated October 5, goes on to state that as a result of the restriction on shipments the market at Glasgow is brightening. The prices quoted revealed that beef was being sold at a figure which would return New Zealand farmers £3 to £3 15/- for boner cows, whereas they are receiving from 6/- to 10/-.
