——♦ The Americas who are all alive when, trade interests are at stake have already realised the fact that meat is conveyed from Australia to England ill fortyfive days, and anticipate a rivalry in their export of beef and mutton to England. New Yorkers engaged in this traffio have come to the conclusion that the permanent success pf this new from this part of the world is a'matter of very remote .probability. The reasons advanced for : this conclusion ave, firet, that meat deteriorates under our freezing process; secondly, the cost of the freezing process; and thirdly, the 'inferior quality of the Australian beef;' Much stress is laid on the last drawback. Australian carcases, which have already been shipped to England, are said to have been small, light, , and scraggy. The prejudice against frozen meat which is .supposed to exist among English consumers, is not,. in the opinion of our Yankee cousins, a very serious obstacle. Jfc is one that will yield to time, and 'in the jase of American beef it is one which has already '.been surmounted.The. American Exporter, a journal

Such, however,' is . not the case. ' Jt is qui to possible for the frozen meat trade to be a failure at Melbourne and Sydney and asuccess in New Zealand, : The temperate climate of this country gives us an advantage, not only over the neighboring colonies •but over the State'themselves. The principal supplies which proceed from.. America to England are from the prairies of Texas, a semi-tropical region, where the fattening of stock •cannot be accomplished as readily as it : can in this colony. The Americans will find that New Zealand will. in time compete with it in the ..London meat market, and though we may not be able to send out a tenth part of the : stock which is required to keep that market'supplied, we shall, be. able to " dispose at fair prices of every carcasewhich we can ship.
