A meeting of the sub-committee recently appointed to obtain information in reference to the exj ort of frozen meat, was held in Wellington on Saturday, when it was slated that a capital of £IO,OOO would be required to start the company in Wellington ; tljat the New Zealand Land Company had taken a contract to deliver 8000 sheep in.England at 6d per lb; that Messrs P. Anderson and Co., of London, had entered into a contract to deliver meat from Victoria at 2d per lb ; that the estimated number of sheep available for consumption in the colony would be one million, and but for the rabbit pest would be two and a half millions; and finally that if it was found necessary to establish a line of steamers, it would probably require a dozen at a cost of £120,000 to £150,000.
