PROBABLE OPENING PRICES. Sir Alexander Roberts, of the firm of Murray, Roberts and Company, according to the “Gisborne Times,” admitted that it was # too early to make any prophecies when questioned as to his opinion of how the export meat market would open this season. He thought, however, that farmers of'' Hawke’s Bay and Poverty Bay would be fairly.lucky if they got per lb for their lambs, with fbe exception of the very early lines shipped for the Christmas market at Home. The opening rates might well he on a basis of 8d per lb for lamb, from what be had heard. The freezing companies which ‘bought and exported meat from New Zealand last season had lost heavily, their losses running up to 3s per bead, ami this was bound to react on the prices offered this year. The demand for early lamb, on the other hand, seemed very pood, and he had heard (J some lots being disposed of at 25s per head in Hawke’s Bay.
