AUSTRALASIAN MEAT.

AN OBVIOUS UNTRUTH. LOW PRICED MUTTON. Received May 29th, at 10.30 a.m. MELBOURNE, May 29. Referring to the cabled that Australian and New Zealand mnti ton was selling below Argentine, Mr Tudor declared the message is evidently inspired by competitive dealers. No meat has left Australia for nearly twelve months, except on account of the Imperial' Government If it is being forced into sale at a low price it is not our foult. Perhaps those who inspired the cabl 0 do not desire the Imperial Government to take importation of meat, out of their hands. His opinion is the Imperial Government is tire best body to handle imports at tb® present time. '

Mr Tudor doubts if the Queensland proposal to sell lior.se flesh was a good tiling for the Australian meat trade. INEVITABLE NEST FOULERS, WHAT DO THEY WANT? WELLINGTON, May 29.
