FROZEN MEAT.
PROSPECTIVE RISE IN PRICE. By Telegraph—Press Association. ■ Gisborne, Last Night. Mr. W. D. Lysnar, of Gisborne, who has just returned after a visit to England on behalf of the New Zealand Producers' Association, in an interview, says that the factor that is going to make home-killed meat high in price is the foot and mouth disease. Farmers had had no alternative but to slaughter their cattle when not much more than good stores, and consequently would not have the fattened stock to put on the market for their early spring. This must bring about a corresponding demand for colonial meat, and in the ordinary.course prices must substantially increase. Under the existing conditions speculators and middlemen would get the enhanced profit, but in the absence of proper facilities at Home the only advice he could give was that there must be a rise in price in England. Australia was seriously short of shipments.
