“BEEF EVERY DAY."

New Industry and the London Market. IMPETUS TO TRADE. (Special to the "Star.") , SYDNEY, March 24. New Zealand fanners and exponers generally will be keenly interested in the following definite statement: concerning the chilled beef trade nude by Mr F'. J. \Valker, a leading authority on the subject and himself 3. big exporter. The impetus given the chilled beef trade by the recent shipment to London has resulted in a number of British orders being placed with Australia, said Mr Walker, commenting on the programmes announced by a number of shipping companies providing chilled. space. “ The development of the chilled beef trade,” he said, " will mean the salvation of the cattle industry in Australia," The effect of additional chilled space being made available would in» crease shipments leading in time to weekly cargoes to London, Mr Walker added. Thus Australian chilled beef would be on the London market every day of the year. This was the first essential to I’l6 building up of the trSdC. Graziers were determined to develOp the trade and the difliculty of preserving the continuity of the supply all the year round was being attacked. Reserve paddocks and fodder conservation should enable Australia to overcome the advantages at present held by the Argentine of being able to ship beef irrespective of the moon. Even now, by marshalling the resources of all ‘ the exporting States it would be pond» ‘ble to ship practically continuously.
