DOMINION LAMB.
QUESTION OF SUPPLY TO AMERICA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—CopyriehtLondon, August 5. In the House of Commons, Mr. Ratcliff e asked why large supplies of last season's New Zealand lamb had been diverted to America, where the highest price at the Atlantic sea-board was 'between 16J and 131 cents per lb, while the retail distributors in Grea/t Britain charged 13d per lb for old stocks of cut lamb. Sir W. Mitchell-Thomson replied that some mutton and lamb had been sold for direct shipment from New Zealand to America with a view to relieving congestion in the stoves in New Zealand, saving voyage charges and hastening the time when New Zealand exporters would 'be enabled to revert to btreiness on ordinary lines. The Ministry had sold at a price f.o.b. New Zealand, which gave tie Imperial a profit.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
