London, December 3
The Hon. Mr Massey, interviewed, regarding the statement of the President of the Auckland Provincial Farmers' Union as to the prices for Australian and New Zealand meat, says the comparison hetween the prices was misleading, as it had been made between those paid for New Zealand produce last season and those paid for •New South Wales in the present season. As a matter of fact, New Zealand received a higher price for mutton and equal for lamb compared to Australia. When the comments were made, the Government were actually negotiating for higher prices for the ensuing, season.' New Zealand now receives s|d per lb for mutton against Australia's ojd, and 6H and 6§d for lamb as against Australia's 6£d.
