REFERENCE TO RECENT CABLE [ Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 11. Referring to the London cable message concerning the price of English fat sheep and lambs, the Minister of Marketing, Hon. W. Nash, said to- ; night that New Zealand's supplies of ; mutton and lamb to the United King-' dom market were always determined I after consultation and agreement i with the United Kingdom Govern- ' ment. The amount sent forward this ' year was agreed on in discussions last I year in London Figures showed an i increase in supplies cl home-killed I mutton and this had had its effect; on the price of hor.us-kiiied. Th - amount ot frozen mutton and lam. . in stock was much less than a year ago and the prices of New Zealand i mutton and ianit were quite satisfactory and even showing a rising tendency compared with a year ago I “These two factors are a definite indication that it is not the mutton ami lamb from New Zealand, that is affecting the prices of the English product, which has a different section ot' demand,’ said Mr. Nash.
