The report stales: •‘The first day's business at the State meat shops constitutes a record, despite adverse conditions, it being an exceedingly hot day. Business at the saleyards on Wednesday had evidently been a,heeled through the scheme. Beef prices were normal; mutton prices were from 2s to 3s less than last week's rates.
