LON DO.V .\l A i'{ K KTS. Dalgety Jind Co. report having received the following cable messages from their London House under date of the I.7th instant:— Tallow. Prices for beef and for beefy mixed are from .'id to (id higher, but other descriptions are linn at hist quotations. Krozen .Meat.—.Mutton, which is in good demand, is £d higher, and arrivals are being cleared as landed. The consumptive demand for lamb is active and prices are very firm at unchanged rates. We exnect that if any change in prices takes place it will be in favour of sellers. As mutton and lamb is selling so freely we anticipate that the heavy arrivals later on will be cleared more readily than was at first thought. Prices for beef fores are id higher ,*nul for hinds |d higher, owing to a. temporary shortage of chilled, but large arrivals are expected shortly when a reaction will probably take place.
