FROZEN LAMB TRADE.
A more hopeful outlook in the frozen lamb trade was indicated by Mr D. Jones, chairman of the New' Zealand Meat Producers’ Board, when he quoted some of the board’s figures yesterday. Speaking at Belfast during the judging of the export lamb competition, Mr Jones said that the latest advices from England indicated that the low price had stimulated consumption, and that the demand was still definitely increasing. Killings in New Zealand this season up to the end of December had been very much heavier than usual, 968,000 more lambs, 71,000 more ewes, and 61.000 more wethers having gone through the works. The increases did not mean that killings were excessive, but simply showed that the dry spell had made it necessary for farmers to get rid of their lambs earlier than usual.
