NEWS IN BRIEF

London, Sept. 29. Commenting on the Argentine trade agreement, an Australian meat authority says: "The artificial scarcity of meat on the English market created by the British quota restrictions has been increased in the past three months considerably and has raised the market value of Australian lamb; consequently it behoves every Australian producer of mutton, lamb and chilled beef to take advantage of the market. There is now a possibility of making forward sales, which hitherto have been impossible owing to the congestion of the local markets. Rugby, Sept 28. Anglo-Soviet negotiations for a new trade agreement will be resumed on Monday, when the sub-committee dealing with the balance of trade will meet. It is expected the sub-committee dealing with the form the treaty may take will meet later in the week. Sydney, Sept. 29. The first prize in the 155th.
