Market for lamb and beef weaker, an,' mutton market unchanged. Stored New Zealand lamb is difficult of sale in comiM'iition with Australian stocks just landed. In view of heavy shipments of Australian lamb we expect that if any change in prices takes place it will lie in favor of buyers. Mutton may be :t----feeted in sympathy. The beef market is very weak, and the future depends larjely upon receipts. Wellington. 11th December, 1009.
