MEAT EXPORT TRADE.
Per Prcas Association. Auckland, Last Night. Owing to the lateness of the spring}the export season in the Auckland frozen meat trade has been very much delayed. Up to this time last year thousands of quarters of beef had been shipped Home. In fact, throughout October the shipments of beef from Auckland were exceedingly large. This was, perhaps, to a certain extent due to the fact that a freight war was then on between the shipping companies, and it was a farthing per pound cheaper to consign frozen meat to the Home markets. So far this season there has not been a single shipment of beef. Freights are up, prices are up, and the blight was such that there was no winter feed on which to carry stock over. Before Christmas last year.7ooo lambs had heen shipped to England. This season there will not be 1000. Nevertheless, in the opinion of Mr. Stringer, secretary of the Auckland Farmers' Freezing Company, the season will be a good one, though very lata.
