THE MEAT PROBLEM .
Butchers’ meat is said to be two-pence a. pound more in New York than in London. British farmers are told to pluck up spirits at their improved grazing prospect, there being no longer an influx of American fresh meat to lower English prices. But there is
another .competitor to reckon with, ami one more likely to continue a healthy rivalry against Home-grown meat. The Anstralias, including New Zealand are getting a larger hold every month on the English market; and as present prices are shown to leave n sufficient margin of profit on mutton sent from this side, a permanent trade is practically assured. The withdrawal of America for only two or three years from this competition will suffice to establish a closer connection between colonies on this side and the meai-consttmiris; millions nt Home. The withdrawal of America had been foreseen ns a’ consequence ol the increasing internal demand ; and this change will hasten the establishment of direct steam service between New Zealand and England.
