FROZEN MEAT TRADE
LONDON QUOTATIONS CHILLED BEEF EASIER Lamb market: Although the demand has not been quite so good owing to hot weather, prices for primes are firm. Secondary lambs: Tendency is easier owing to over-supplies. Mutton market: Wethers and ewes. Tendency is easier owing to poor demand. Beef market: Chilled beef easier this week, owing to very hot weather. New Zealand porker pigs: Market quiet and steady excepting heavyweights, which are a shade easier in sympathy with bacon pigs. New Zealand baconer pigs: Again easier owing to heavier arrivals and weaker bacon market. Boneless bobby veal: Quotation nominal.
