The Now Zealand Co-operative Pip; .Marketing Association reports that the policy in holding over porkers during the autumn and shipping them to London to meet the early market proved costly last season, owing to the mildness of the early English winter and the heavy shrinkage in weights while the carcases were in cold storage. Practically the whole of the season’s pigs, both porkers and haconers,. have heel) disposed of, so that the repetition of lost year’s experience is definitely prevented. Reports received from London by cablegram indicate a rapid hardening in bnconer prices. Although the total number of pigs handled to date this season is well in excess of the number handled during the whole ol last season, large orders have had to be turned down owing to lack of carcases.
