Manawatru Standard (PUBLISHED DAILY.) The Oldest Daily Newspaper on the West Coast. WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1884. FROZEN MEAT.
The Hampshire Chronicle,of March 15th, says the JNew Zealand mutton which made its appearance m Winchester a fortuight since, and is now sold by all purveyors, is eagerly inquired for by the public, not only on account of its cheapncss,but by reason of no i being one whit the less excellent m quality than the Home-led meat. At Portsmouth, mutton from the Antipodes is quite the rage, no less than 700 carcases, representing a total of 20 tons, was sold last week; while at Salisbury the commodity i.s as quickly sold out. The effect of the dead meat trade from !>> ew Zealand has already had a depressing effect on the Home trado as it will be seen on reference to our Andover market report that, owing to the introduction of New Zealand mutton, the price of sheep has fallen fully 16s per head since Christmas, and there is every appearance of a further decline.
