THE MEAT CONTRACTS.
(BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, Saturday. Mr Seddon has received from the Secretary of State a simiar cable to that received by Sir Edmund Barton with reference to the South African meat contracts. It states that it was impossible to call for tenders earlier, owing to the military arrangements not having been entirely settled. Regret is expressed that the military authorities iu South Africa state that it is impossible to extend the period for tendering, but the shortness of time affects all equally. The condition of the contract is that supplies are to be obtained from British Imperial aiurces if possible. The AgeutGeneral is to again urge the War Office to give an extension of time.
