THE MEAT MARKET.
REASONS FOR THE FALL. A MORAL FOR PRODUCERS By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The condition of the meat market was referred to by the Premier in the House of Representatives this afternoon. Replying to Mr. W. D. Lysnar (Gisborne), Mr. Massey said his* information from the High Commissioner showed that the fall in the price of our meat in London was due to two causes. Firstly, a large quantity of mutton and lamb sent to America had been pushed out of that country and diverted to London, and secondly, Vestey’s had purchased a good deal of beef from the Imperial authorities, intending to send it to Central Europe. That market, however, failed, and this beef had also been diverted to London. , This was the position at present, but he hoped things would soon be normal again. The moral of it all was that our producers must cultivate the Bri-' tish market. He did not wish to deprecate other markets, but we should look to Britain as- our beet and largest customer.
