PATAGONIAN MEAT.

WELLINGTON, Feb. 17. “Yes, it is an interesting commentary on the alleged glut of meat in England,” remarked Mr. Massey when asked if he could explain the British purchase of the Patagonian meat output. He stated that the output from that country i'§"§lTfall compared with that of New.Zeala‘nd, and is chiefly beef. No doubt there was an extra suply of meat in England just now, the reason being that, owing to a bad season, there was insufiicienf winter food for cattle, and therefore they had to be‘ sent to market. Though England had kept up".its flocks and herds wonderfully during the War, there was a‘ serious shortage on the Continent. and he woula not be Sur~ prised if the Patagonian meat went to feed the population there.
