This means that there will bo eight steamers for April and eight for May, and these should lift a million and a half freight carcasses in thoso two months. The Imperial Supply Branch recently collected, at the request of the Prime Minister, information as to the heef in cold stores for export. The information is tliat there will he 464,000 quarters of beef available within the next three months for export to London. All beef is invariably used for Army purposes. Some of our mutton and all of our lamb is put on the market in England by the Board of Trade to supply the Fritish consumer. It need scarcely be explained that this rate of export of beef lias never been approached in normal i times.- !
