NEW ZEALAND LAMB
DIVERTED TO AMERICA TO RELIEVE CONGESTION IN STORES 'By Telegraph-Press Asßociatlon-Oopyrteht . London. August 5. In the House of .Commons, Mr. H. B. Ratcliffe asked why large supplies of last season's New Zealand lambs had been diverted to America, where the highest price at tho Atlantic seaboard was between 16i to 185- cents per lb., while retail distributors in Great Britain charged thirteenpence per lb. for old stocks of cut lamb.
Sir Mitchell-Thomson rpplied that somo mutton and lamb had been sold for direct shipment from New Zealand •to America, with a view to relieving the congestion in the stores in New Zealand an.l saving tho voyage charges, thus hastening the time when New Zealand exporters would be enabled to revert to business on ordinary lines.' Tho Ministry had sold nt a price f.o.b. New Zealand which gave the Imperial Government a profit.—Router.
