By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 6.30 p.m. London, Oct. 26,

Following are the latest quotations for frozen and chilled meat, with those of the previous week for comparison:—

FROZEN MUTTON.

The weekly quotations are based on actual sales of wholesale quantities of carcases of mutton or lamb or of quarters of beef delivered to Smithfield markets 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 representative of the bulk of shipments now on offer.
