The virtual suspension of the release of New Zealand frozen beef meant a reduction approaching 8000 tons. A recent message stated the Ministry of Agriculture has issued a statement detailing the arrangements made to reduce meat imports for the remainder of the year. Chilled beef figures. will be reduced by 10 to 15 per cent. below the Ottawa quantities, and frozen beef 20 per cent. for the current quarter and 25 per cent next quarter. .New Zealand will send no frozen beef for .the last quarter of the year, and Australia will consign a reduced. quantity compared with 1932.
