FIRST EXPERIMENTAL SHIPMENT.
The following are the terms of agreement for an experimental shipment of seven to eight thousand carcases of frozen meat from Otago, made by the New Zealand and Australian Land Company with the Albion Shipping Company, Glasgow. The shipping company are to send out one of their fastest iron sailing vessels fitted with a refrigerating chamber calculated to hold 200 tons weight of meat, and with one of Bell-Coleman’s large engines. The ship finds everything, and freezes the carcases in port as we send them in from the country at the rate of 300 per day. The freight to be charged us is 2£d per lb to cover everything, and if necessary the ship will keep the meat frozen for ns in London at our expense for three weeks. We have also arranged with the insurance companies at Home to insure the cargo against decay at £5 5s per cent., and this is likely to be reduced
