PORK MARKET.
REPORT FROM LONDON. The following is an extract from a report dated July 13 recently received by the New Zealand Meat Producers Board from its London manager, Mr. R. S. Forsyth, referring to the market for frozen pork:— “ Pork.—The bacon market, as you will see from the official reports, has been very firm, with better prices. This has been reflected by an increased inquiry for New Zealand bacon pigs. Up to 73d per pound ex store has been given for New Zealand baconers, and stocks are very light and in firm hands. “ The prices for lightweight porkers are also firm but owing to the hot weather there is not a very good demand. “ I notice quite a number of New Zealand porker carcases coming over to Smithfield weighing about 1101 b. These weights are quite unsuitable. We should either produce a pig from 601 b to 1001 b, preferably 851 b average, or else make them into baconers weighing say 1401 b. The weights in between these two ranges are quite useless for either purpose. This cannot be too strongly impressed upon the producers.”
