A LOST ORDER.
- PRICES TOO HIGH.
MEAT FOR. HAWAII.
New Zealand has lost a large order toi frozen meat for the American Army and Navy in Hawaii. Mr. G. J. AA a Her, who has been negotiating m New Zealand and Australia for the annual supply of meat for the United States forces in the Islands, returned by the Aorangi from Sydney yesterday and reported that he had let the contract in Australia. It involves the delivery of 2,000,0001 b. of best quality beef and 50,0001 b. of veal. Prices for beef were too high in New Zealand to appeal to him, said Mr. Waller. A'eal, on the other hand, was practically unprocurable in the Dominion owing to the increasing killings of “bobby” calves. While in Blenheim, Mr. AValler arranged for the purchase of a number of pedigree rams, to he used for breeding purposes on a Hawaiian ranch.
