NEW ZEALAND FROZEN MEAT.
The following is an extract from a letter received by the New Zealand Refrigerating Company, from Robert Campbell and Sons, Limited, London : “The prices realised here for the frozen meat ex Sorrento are unprecedented, and have excited much astonishment. Much of the prejudice against frozen meat is dying ont, and many butchers who bought it before and passed it off as ordinary mutton now label it as New Zealand meat, while stores are springing up everywhere for the sale of frozen meat alone. Much attention has been drawn of late to the great decrease in our flocks by the Queen having issued an order in the Gazette forbidding the consumption of lamb by the Royal household. This must all tend to our advantage, while great credit is due to your Company for the admirable manner in which the sheep are slaughtered and the carcases put on board, contrasting so favorably with the shipments from Australia.”
