The outlook on the London market for Australian Dozen beef and mutton is not a promising one, according to Mr J. Davis, a leading exporter, who has returned to Sydney from England. He said: “The London market is glutted with supplies of frozen beef and mutton. The main difficulty in disposing of stocks is the reduced nurchasinS power of the public in Britain. New Zealand Canterbury lamb,” be added, “is always in quest.” Mr Davis emphasised that the British meat interests had a poor opinion of Australian mutton, the quality of which was inferior to that of the Argentine produce. The same applied to beef. The Australian breeders must improve their methods by the selection of suitable stock.
