"hot weather, but with' the very, light supplier values do not decline. During the week ohilled beef was almost unprocurable, awing to .the non-arrival ol a South Ameridan 'Steamcir and hinda .to-day fetched 12Jd. but in spite of this tho frozen article has not moved muoh. in sympathy, Government rejeot cotv fores and hinds' being only 42d.-and sjd., with bull id. less. -The trade has been kept very short of Jambs, which, are the ohicf article in, demand at this season, and it is to be' feared that until about four weeks'hence thero will not bo much relief. Shipments of.lamb for July, 1916, are heavier than any month since February, 1915. It is to bo regretted that these could not have been shipped earlier to arrive in the lamb-consuming, season.
