INSULATED TONNAGE.
MUCH FROZEN MEAT IN STORE, Stocks of frozen meat in New Zetland bow awaiting shipment are still very " heavy (says a Wellington paper). on June 15 there were in tile stores meat equivalent to 7,300,000 freight carcases of BSlb, for which no insulated tonnage had beon provided. There are at present seven steamers in New Zealand loadtng, and to load, insulated cargo. With the butter and cheese export season about to begin, it seems difficult to see how anything but a partial clearance can bo effected of the meat in store before the new slaughtering season opens in DecemberThe insulated tonnage position, owing to strikes and other causes of delay in--," the United Kingdom, is necessarily ob-. Bcuro, so far as New Zealand is concerned, but if the meat now in store can .■ be reduced to 4,000,000 carcases it is ' considered that freezing companies will be enabled to continue operations throughout next season without any Serious inconvenience.
So far as .the dairy produce now in the freezing chambers is concerned, the butter is practically all cleared out, but there arc 240,000 crates of cheese in store, not allowing for quantities tot. Which space has been allocated in Homer" ward-bound vessels.
