FROZEN MEAT. [By Electric Tele sraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.! London, May 8.

The Hon. T. Mackenzie, speaking at the Cold Storage and Ice Association banquet, responding to .the toast of “The Dominions,’ reviewed the history of the meat trade. When the trade was founded a whole sheep was sold in kew Zealand for tlie price of a single pound in England. New Zealand had exported half the total mutton and lamb received in Great Britain. The future for the producer would bo good, because the increased demand would exceed the increased supply, though the homo production had increased by 250,000 tons. The workers of Europe would soon demand wholesome meat at reasonable prices. The condition of the meat arriving had improved, but the handling in London had not. It was absolutely impossible that the present conditions should continue.
