THE POSITION AT HOME. THE SHORTAGE OF SHIPS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dec. C, 1.20 a.m. London, Dec. 2. Sir Thomas. Mac.kcn7.iu (High Commissioner for New Zealand), speaking at Stafford, said that the New Zealand fanner accepted low prices for his produce to help the British consumer. After much pressure meat was now being sold in England at prices approximating to the cost, but this was not the case with wool and butter. The stores and the docks were congested with wool and other produce. Space was not available for New Zealand meat, and ships weer delayed. This was a condition of affairs, Sir Thomas Mackenzie said, they had been promised would not occur. He had made constant representations to the Home Government. The New Zealand authorities were greatly dissatisfied at the lack of ships and storage.— AUs.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
