LONDON MEAT MARKET. Messrs Gilbert Anderson and Co.. Colonial Agents, report under date London, July 1-Jfh:—A. fair volume of trade has been done during the week. Supplies of fresh killed beef have been short, with firmer prices. Fresh killed mutton and lamb have further advanced in price. Heavy marketing of chilled beef and forced sales have resulted in very low prices, and frozen beef, with large supplies prices hnve furtlier declincd, and the demoralisation of the beef market has affected the trade in mutton and lamb. Steamers arriving carry large cargoes. Many .importers have been eager to realise, and low prices have been accepted. It is intimated that the price of chilled beef will be advanced next week. Mutton and lamb stocks in stoTe are still light, and there are onlv arrivals to be dealt, with. "With light shipments to follow the position should not be weak. The want of regulation of shipments is being severely felt.
