MUTTON AND LAMB.
LIGHT SHIPMENTS. - COMMISSIONER’S MESSAGE. Tn his commercial cable message last week the High Commissioner was unable to furnish quotations of mutton and lamb, because there was not sufficient of either on the market to admit of a quotation. The s.s. Mahia, which arrived in London last, week, had no frozen meat on board. The shipments in November and December were .110',113 carcases' of mutton and 105.890 carcases of lamb, and comparatively little has gone forward since. The quantity of mutton and lamb in the stores in New Zealand at the beginning of the year totalled 244,915 carcases of lambs, 56,241 wether carcases, and 19,983 ewe carcases, which is not a great deal. The killingis- this month must be small, as stock has not been coming forward. The weather has been adverse for stock fattening, and lambs in particular are very backward. Very few have been coming Forward, and it is not expected that there will be many fat sheep and lambs available before about the middle of next month. There is a good demand for lamb on the part of c.i.f buyers, and the prices offered are very good.
