SMITHFIELD MEAT MARKET
Lamb Very Firm
Frozen lamb was very firm at Smithfield this week, and mutton, which was in short supply, was firm, according to the Imported Meat Trade Association’s weekly report. Chilled beef met a slow opening trade with easing values, which firmed later in response to sharp demand. Light pitchings of frozen beef met a steady demand. Prices for New Zealand meat (ex store, London, for frozen meat; delivered to Smithfield for chilled beef) in the week ended April 24, with the variation since the previous week, were as follows:
