AMERICAN CANNED MEAT.
RECENT RE-SHIPMENT. AN EXPLANATION. Received April 2, 9.55 a.m. MELBOURNE, April 2. The Federal Government has received a reply to a cable despatched to London to tbe effect that the canned meat report id as having been re-shipped to America was stocks withdrawn by the Admiralty, the Government having sold a surplus of old stock at low prices. The Minister for Customs says the facts do not disclose any additional opening for Australian preserved meals. Last week a London firm reshaped to New York twenty thousand pounds worth of canned goods. There is a considerable shortage of meat in America, and it is expected that prices for both canned and fresh meat will greatly increase until new supplies arrive on the market in June next. „^.__»
