(From

PALMERSTON, N., Last Night. There was tclk among Jive stockbreeders at the Boyal Show yesterday o takmg steps fo convince the Government towards having the embargo against /the importation . of stock from countries infected with foot and motith disease lifted. We cannot any longer alford to court, the displeasure of the H6me market} Said oue breeder, "and while wo persist an our present attitude of reiusmg direct shipments of live stock, Yhe*T0 r gering the goodwiU of purcila5e our meat." havWe+Jime "v ripe f °r action toward3 having the embargo lifted," remarked | ~ • ?racticaI1Y all breed socie- | ties are an favour of the lifting 0f th« I there is-*o doubt that New Zealand needs new blood " breed6r Stated that- ie was' not an favour of Hfting the emk ^thout reaervations as to the qualify of stock to be amported. "After all " he said " that was a side issue, but I whX f -there 6houId not be any hole sale importations without con-! sideration as to quality." Generally^ impressions gathered by a | reporter yesterday were that a move- | ment is likely to arise from breed societies to the extent of a deputation | being forined fo wait on the Government^ immediately wi.th a request for the lifting of the embargo. It is likely that some action may arise from a gathering of breed society representatives to be Held in the city to-day. At the annual meeting of the Ryeland Sheep Society in Palmerston. North last evening, a resoluti.on was passed giving. continued sup^lort to the lifting of the embargo.
