THE SHIPPING OUTLOOK.
FAIR, PROSPECTS OF SPACE. WELLINGTON, August 23. Referring to shipping prospects the Minister in Charge of Imperial Supplies said to day that up till the end of September we shall probably be able to clear out of cold stores between 700,000 and 800,000 freight carcasses of meat. This will relieve the situation considerably, and by the end of December it is hoped, there will be available for the removal of more frozen meat 5,800,000 cubic feet of insulated space on outward steamers. Nothing definite can be said about the coming year, but prospects are that the space available, for frozen produce from Australasia will be 26,000,000 cubic feet for the year. This should mean that New Zealand with its production should: get about half of the space. If these prospects materialise we shall he left at the end of the next year in very little worse position than that in which we find ourselves at present. *
