FROZEN PRODUCE
LARGE INCREASE IN SHIPMENTS. Soma interesting and instructive figures are now available regarding the shipments of refrigerated cargo from New Zealand during the busy periods of the export seasons 1913-14 and 191415. From October 1, 1913, to February 28, 1914, the shipments of cheese amounted to 418,305 cratos. For the corresponding period of 1914-15 the shipments were 513,433. The r.umber of boxes of butter shipped for the same periods were 456,916 and 517,735 respectively, while the shipments of frozen meat were 1,660,953 and 2,466,856 freight carcasses respectively. The figures for this season are actual bookings to February 28 next, and the actual shipments will no doubt be consideiably jn excess of this. The' facts should be an adequate rejoinder to some of th© criticisms recently levelled at the Government by the Opposition Press showing clearly, as they do ; that both the Government and the shipping companies have been successful in coping with an exceptionally heavy output.
