The weekly quotations are based on actual sales of wholesale quantities of carcases of mutton or lambs or of quarters of beef delivered to Smithfield market and/or London stores. They are compiled by the quotations committee, Smithfield. To arrive at the equivalent ex ship values one farthing per pound should be deducted from the prices quoted above. Quotations given represent the average for the week and are not selected lines, but for parcels fairly representatives of the bulk of shipments now on offer.
