COMMONWEALTH CABLES.

THE AUSTRALIAN MEAT TRADE. £UnITWD PftBBB AMOOIATION.] (Received 9.10 a.in.) Melbourne, May 29. Hefei ring to the cabled complaint that Australian and New Zealand mutton was being sold below that of the Argentine, Mr Tudor declared that the message-had evidently been inspired by competitive dealers. He said no meat bad left Australia for nearly twelve months except on account ot the Imperial Government, If the meat was being foiced into sale at a low price it was not our fault. 1 evhaps those who inspired the cable do not desire the Imperial Government to take the importation out of their hands. In his opinion, the Imperial Government was the best body to handle imports at the piesent time. Mr Tudor said bo doubted if the Queensland proposal to sell horse flesh would be a good thing for the Australian meat trade. STATUE OF KINGSTON IN ADELAIDE. Adelaide, May 29.
